We always eat our big meal at lunchtime as 8-10pm doesn’t suit us. We had the Kutixi menu 70 euros. It was 8 small courses and it was fantastic! Each course was well balanced with flavours and beautifully presented. Well done crew!

We really enjoyed our meal here. Our waitress was really helpful and made sure to check the dishes with the chefs to ensure none contained dairy (which I can’t eat . We didn’t do the tasting menu but instead opted for some shared starters and individual mains. We loved the flavours in the Wakamole and my hake main was so delicious. There were several complimentary flavours and it was a dish I’d never be able to make for myself which is something I love about eating out. We also enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and that they created a mini main for our 3 year old (who also really enjoyed it!

We were one group of several, different couples that arrived at the same time for our reservation when the restaurant opened. Upon arrival the staff at the bar were busy talking to some regulars and ignored us. When we attempted to go downstairs to the restaurant we were told to wait and told We opened 5 minutes ago, you have to wait . If you are not ready for your guests when you open then why open? I know we are in Donostia and time is fluid but for a Michelin guide restaurant you expect more professionalism. A few minutes later we were taken downstairs to the restaurant and offered a choice of tables. We chose to have a selection of dishes from the menu though it was unclear until we asked our server what the size of the dishes were (Spanish style, small plates, large plates etc. and what was suitable to share etc. It was a bit confusing more us unfortunately. We were recommended a wine to go with our meal which was okay. The food was good but not great my steak was badly cooked but I was offered 50% off the bill for it I appreciated this. Presentation was excellent. Some of the other dishes were quite enjoyable but overall we found that the quality varied a lot between dishes. I am unsure why this is a Michelin guide restaurant. The staff downstairs were nice and enthusiastic so I wasn 't massively disappointed with the experience but I feel that for the price it could have been better overall.

Debería ser más caro. Excelente restaurante, servicio y comida

Muy por encima de su precio. La comida era un viaje, el producto buenísimo, bien preparado. Servicio excelente. Era el primer día de la camarera...que anteriormente había sido jefa de sala y cocina en otros lugares, y se notaba. Simpática, diligente, amable, sabía de todo... Nos dejaron pedir un menú degustación y carta aparte cuando no es lo habitual, y con la sonrisa en la cara. Juro que no les conozco personalmente, y fue probablemente la comida más placentera de mi vida. Enhorabuena
