Everybody goes to LaViña in San Sebastian for the famous Burnt Basque cheesecake. But don’t overlook the many delicious savory pintxos there. The canutillo, thin crispy pastry filled with fresh cheese and a cured anchovy is our favorite! 🙌

Classic stewed mushrooms 🍄 from They created a sea change in the history of pintxos at a time when many places were still serving a few conserves with calamares and croquetas reserved for weekends. In the 50s Bar Martinez started skewering up these just spicy enough babies and soon people were six deep at the bar with a line out the door. Their neighbors took notice and started developing their own specialties giving locals another reason to continue their quests for the perfect bite. Join us to find yours!

Definitely one of our favorite picnic spots. Sunshine and shade, grassy lawn and the ocean, chilly bottles in ice buckets and fresh salads and charcuterie. It even invites one to stretch out for a cat-nap under the trees.

It’s not news to us that San Sebastian was one of Anthony Bourdain’s favorite food destinations! We had a great time showing him around on his last visit.

This slightly effervescent wine, from Spanish Basque Country, is easy to enjoy on seasides, with seafood and in the sunshine.

We're in ♥️ with this custom illustration. When a designer really gets your vision and ideas, the results are great!

When we seek a bit of fresh air, sunshine, and the chance to stretch our legs, we needn't look further than the backyard (or rather, San Sebastian's backyard).
Do you recognize this view from your visit here?

*Very* important news in the world of Basque meats:
Pete Wells of the New York Times reviewed Ernesto's in NYC, and, according to the Twitter account , it was the first time in the Times's history that the word "txistorra" was used. (I won't be fact-checking the truthfulness of that, because it's just too lovely to be untrue) 😆
Wells describes txistorra, the fresh sausage we love to eat grilled or fried (especially wrapped in a hot corn talo) as "thumb-size sausages glowing red from paprika." Hmmm 🤔

Ernesto’s, on the Lower East Side, channels San Sebastián with an unfussy menu and a generous hand.

Anchovies are our secret weapon! You can always throw an amazing meal together if you’ve got a can of high quality anchovies in the fridge.

It may come as no surprise: The list includes a lot of low-effort pasta, rice, eggs, toast — and anchovies.

A whirlwind visit to Cataluña for amazing food with The Hungry Tourist.

Txalaparta. The ancient Basque instrument born out of the cider making tradition welcomes guests to dinner at our private eating club.

Yep, I love peas and I took a serviceable shap of this dish @restaurantealameda but it doesn't compare to @achefabroad 's action shot. #myweekofpeas #privatetour #food #basquecountry

Today was the run up to the oldest carnival in Europe. In the lovely stone village of Ituren in Navarra men and children dressed in sheepskins and tall be-ribboned hats with large copper cowbells strapped to their waists dance rhythmically through the town and up to the neighboring farms blessing crops and homes and having the odd bite of txistorra. They protect their town from evil and on Tuesday they will have their hands full. #joaldunak #ituren #basque #village #tradition #navarra #spain #europe #travel
