Family, Traditions, and High-Quality Local Products — The Three Commandments of the Perfect Restaurant
Would you like to experience the essence of Basque family culinary traditions passed down through generations? Head to Saltxipi, a restaurant located in the Gros district, away from the tourist hustle and bustle of the Old Town, yet just a step away from the refreshing sea breeze. First, you’ll be greeted by a cozy terrace, immersed in the greenery of the garden, and then by a traditional Basque house, where every corner is filled with warmth and a homely atmosphere. The history of this place began over 50 years ago with the craft production of apple cider by the grandfather of the current owner. Three decades later, these traditions continued to live on in a family restaurant, where taste and hospitality have been inseparable. Sagar Txiki — the little apple — is not just a name but a true reflection of the Basque soul. It is a name that, like the echo of mountain orchards, mirrors the warmth of the hearth and the freshness of the fertile Basque lands. The pride and soul of the restaurant are its main dishes - cod omelette (tortilla de bacalao) and crab (txangurro) unchanged on the menu from its very first days to today. Gourmets will find the freshest fish and seafood, for which northern Spain is famous, while meat lovers can indulge in the legendary Basque chuleta — more than just a steak but a true ritual. It’s juicy and aromatic and is a symbol of authentic Basque gastronomy, where fire and flavor are inseparable. “Feet on the ground, hands in the sea” — this is how the owners of Saltxipi describe their philosophy: choosing the best that fertile land and the generous sea can offer. And of course, a worthy accompaniment — a rich wine list from all corners of Spain, which will perfectly complement your culinary discoveries, enhancing the magic of every moment. Another unique feature, not often found in the city’s restaurants in San Sebastián, is the banquet halls, designed for special occasions. Cozy spaces with panoramic windows opening onto a terrace allow guests to enjoy the fresh air and the closeness of the sea, which can be felt in every breath. Discover a place where every visit becomes a warm encounter with history, traditions, and most importantly, with the people for whom food is a way of spreading happiness.
