Rekondo

Visited July 2023 whilst on a long break in San Sebastián. Booked table some weeks in advance.

Food was good and the wine list is probably one the largest I’ve seen. It really was a great meal. Service was very good, nice break between courses.

Got taken down to wine cellar afterwards which is a treat in itself, very interesting and nice addition to the end of a meal.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! If you love wine, this is your spot. The restaurant is beautiful with a charming and inviting terrace and an incredible book of wine selections from around the world. A sommelier circulates around the tables to make recommendations based on your taste and cost preferences and selected 3 incredible wines for us from the Ribera region in Spain. We also enjoyed several dishes from the menu including oysters, cuttle fish and venison. While the seating arrangement was picturesque, a member of our party battled 3 bird droppings over the course of the meal before moving chairs. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Most incredible wine list and wine cellar I've ever seen. Apparently the king of spain wines and dines there... Its touted as one of the best in the world with over 65000 bottles of wine.

Food is good especially the fillet mignon and the pate with lemon cake. Bread is constantly served and the service from our sommelier waitress was excellent she was really generous in taking us down to see the amazing wine cellar. Atmosphere is lovely, they provide blankets if you are sitting outside and feeling cold. Olives served as a snack was really fresh!

They are usually full so booking is a must.

Rekondo, a rustic property along the road up to Mt Igueldo. This place has several aces up its sleeve. One is definitely the setting, in a former farmhoise with views of La Concha Bay. The seating at the patio is charming. The restaurant offers upscale Basque cuisine. The red prawn carpaccio and the baked crab were very good. The Desserts were wow. We tried the mille feuille and Hot Apple cake.

Everything here was perfect. The food, service, atmosphere, the wine list, not to mention the wine cellar (a must see). Attention to every detail. It's not on the list of To-Talk-About, but the Ox Ribeye is phenomenal. I preferred it to my friend's filet mignon. The sommelier turned us on to great recommendations, (below the limit i set) that were superb

I got recommended by a local friend.
Amazing food! Very tasty and high quality of the dishes!
Hundreds of the wine list!

A perfect way to finish our final night in San Sebastián.

The food was really great, we were able to split our entrees onto two plates so we were able to share, would definitely recommend asking for that, if you can’t decide/fancy trying a few things on offer!

Both had individual mains; my wife really enjoyed the baked crab whilst I went for the suckling pig, which did not disappoint.

I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but my wife ordered a dessert - I believe called the chocolate volcano and I was encouraged by the staff to have just a small teaspoon 😂

Very knowledgeable sommelier who guided us through the menu and in the end encouraged us to a couple of glasses of Rioja which was an unexpected highlight - although my personal highlight was the Armagnac from 1987!

An unforgettable evening and would like to pass on my heartfelt thanks to everyone for making it so special.
