Bodegon Alejandro

I’ve had a number of great meals here. Their wine list is very affordable (well, comparatively) and has some fantastic finds, unusual and interesting and balanced.
The menu del dia on weekdays is a complete steal. Even if you can’t make it for that, and must come at night or on the weekend, it’s worth it. You’ll spend 30−50eur/person depending how hungry, indulgent, or thirsty you are. It will be your favorite meal.
Desserts are fabulous here as well. Tocina and the lemon cream are both fantastic but I’ve never had anything bad here.
Seasonal items are great too; I always order about 50% of my meal from the temporary menu and the rest from the regular.
Ask for help if you are indecisive, they won’t steer you wrong.

If you only read one thing about this review, my suggestion is to go for lunch instead of dinner. We chose dinner since nothing on the lunch menu sounded that intriguing to us.
The 5 course tasting menu was delicious and a nice break from pintxos. The service was nice. With the Michelin guide recommendation, Unilocal reviews and the fact that chefs of other hot-​shot restaurants in the area eat here, we expected to be blown away.
We weren’t. I don’t know if it was the ambiance (baby at the center of the dining room’s attention… general lack of energy in the place) or if our expectations were just so high because of the price ($ 160 for two with one glass of wine each). Again, the food was really tasty, some of the dishes were more creative than others. But, only the french toast dessert made it on our «favorite foods from the vacation list».
If we hadn’t gone, I would’ve left San Sebastian regretting it, so I’m glad we went once. But I wouldn’t choose it again over pintxos or trying a new place next time I’m in town.

Delightful!
We came to this restaurant for lunch at the recommendation of some friends at a nearby pinxos bar. Both the service and the food here were outstanding. My husband and I each ordered one of the prefix meal choices so that we could share and taste a bit of everything, and I’m so glad that we did. It came with multiple courses (5?), as well as a bottle of wine and a bottle of water to share. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food and care that we received. Would happily go here again if I could just scoop it up and bring it back to the States with me.

This restaurant does not have a Michelin star. That being said, it has been my favorite meal of this trip! We had the tasting menu (degustacion) along with the wine pairings. A 2hr 15 minute tour of basque flavors! Everything was delicious, but the standouts were the ham infused broth with bread crisps, Merluza, and carrillera de ternera. They brought the dishes out at a perfect pace and the wines were perfectly paired! Just an amazing meal that I would recommend to anyone visiting San Sebastián!
PS… The desert was RIDICULOUS! Carmelized sweet bread with coffee ice cream. I wanted to lick the plate! Pictures to follow.

Went here for the prefix menu at lunch € 23. But instead we had the larger menu for € 40 and the wine pairings for an additional € 16 and it was excellent. This is truly a great deal with either menu. Go for lunch and it’s fairly easy to get a table plan for a nice long lunch with four or five courses of original yet traditional Basque food. The rice with mushrooms and squid was fantastic. The wine pairings were simply perfect. Be warned the portions are not small. The absolute best dessert was the chocolate soufflé. Enjoy this when you’re tired of Us and you want to nice sitdown dinner or lunch.

Estuve hace unos días en este fantástico sitio. Las camareras muy atentas, sitio tranquilo, música agradable, luz y decoración muy cuidadas. El único pero en este aspecto son los platos, muy bonitos pero no lo suficientemente limpios para lo que es el sitio.
La comida de diez, muy rico todo. Presentado de manera original. De precio bien, 35 € por cabeza. Comimos a la carta, el menú era de 25 € creo.
Yo soy celiaco y me sentí muy a gusto ya que estuvieron muy atentas de lo que podía o no comer y sobre todo porque tenían pan sin gluten! Esto no suele ser habitual y menos en sitios que no indican de ninguna manera que disponen de pan especial.
Si vuelvo a S. Sebastian comeré allí de nuevo.

If you’re looking for a sit-​down place for lunch, this is a great choice. Fantastic lunch value. I think it was 18 euros for a 3 course meal, including bread, water & wine.
Started with a shot of gazpacho, clean and fresh tasting.
The lunch menu included a salad, choice of beef cannelloni or bacalao stew. Dessert was a generously portioned apple rum crumble or a crème caramel.
I could smell their fish & seafood stew across the room — wish I’d ordered it as well.
I also had their Iberian veal cheek entrée, came with a potato and bacon terrine — similar to scalloped potatoes. Good choice, but a little bit tough without the consommé.
Tasty complimentary madeleines at the end of the meal, as well.

If you look for something different than simple tapas or sangria but still You would like to taste a bit of Spain You must visit restaurant Bodegon Alejandro in San Sebastian.
Meals served in this restaurant are not only kind of fun of taste but also fun of convention. The teast of food maches their amazing look and the way of serving them.
If you belong to the brave tasters do not miss the chance for trying a tasting menu of 6 courses to find the roots of Basque in every dish.
Enjoy — We did :-)

amazing. for a non-​tappas /​non-​foam restaurant, this is the spot!
