La Cepa

While the action at most of the famous tapas bars in San Sebastian revolves around a crowded counter, La Cepa also offers a street-level dining room space that allows you to enjoy the city's classic flavors in a calm and cozy environment. It is not unusual to find a party of 20 friends enjoying a Saturday afternoon lunch from the extensive menu, which includes dishes like clams in rice, hake in green sauce, Biscayan-style cod and braised oxtail. The toasted Iberian ham and cheese sandwich gets our nomination for being the best grilled cheese sandwich you will ever eat.
