Restaurante Akelarre | Pedro Subijana Donostia Reviews
Disappointing at this level
Ordered a bottle of champagne on arrival which was served warm and had to sit on ice to chill for sometime. Service was very attentive and food presentation was good. Unfortunately the food lacked taste and in certain cases texture. Perhaps not help
The top of the world
This restaurant live up to his reputation, it is the best dining experience I have been for the last five years. This include several 3 Michelin stars restaurants. From the greeting to the tour of the kitchen the Balayage service of each course and
Gorgeous hotel outside of town
Gorgeous property, grounds and location. The only thing that didn’t fit in was the front desk check in process and area. That could use improvement since it has motel vibes within a gorgeous 5 star property. The rooms are huge. They are so cl
Sublime ....exceptional
Sublime food sophisticated .A long tasting menu 12 course .Each course is more inventive than the other.Attention to detail. Artistic presentation.
Not a 3 star experience
Not a 3 Star experience! Food was solid but not outstanding, service was solid however I was pouring my own water near the end and ambiance was like a kindergarten. Don’t expect small children at a 3 star restaurant and as kids do they screamed and
Don’t schedule anything for early the next morning
If you are going to a Michelin 3-star restaurant, you probably already know this. But it you haven’t, prepare for it to be a very long event. The Akelarre’s first booking for dinner is 8:15 p.m. We were seated promptly at 8:15 and didn’t get ou
Outstanding Service and Expert Knowledge
An unforgettable drinking experience at Akelarre. The breathtaking views perfectly complement the exquisite cuisine. The staff were exceptionally attentive, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. Truly deserving of its Miche
Ambiance was nice.
Service was nice. Sommelier recommended some decent wines. Plating was very pretty. They were accommodating with our fish allergy: Food was very subdued, and underwhelming at times. Only thing that really stood out was the foie gras dish. The downsid
Incredible food and service.
The views from this location are outstanding. We started with drinks on the terrace then moved inside for a beautiful dinner. Two of us requested a deviation from the tasting menu to minimize the seafood. The outcome was still fresh and delicious.
This is definitively among the 5 best restaurants in the
This is definitively among the 5 best restaurants in the world. It is worth the trip to Donosti. 1. Food is truly amazing. The Crujiente de Kisquilla con Sorbete de Salpicón is one of the most sophisticated gastronomic creations I ever had. The flo
Akelare was disappointing
Honestly this restaurant does not deserve a 3 Michelin star. Firstly how can a sommerlier put the wine glasses on my table, walk away and forget about me. When he served the poyfere that I have asked for, he gave me a 2010 instead of 2014. While I lo
An ascension to sensory pleasures
An impressive sensory experience. The location and orientation facing the Cantabrian Sea already place you in something exceptional. The reception and room service are hyper professional and the Sommeliers are very good at knowledge and advice. The m
Clearly a well established and accomplished operation

Marvelous
Wonderful, thank you so much Denis and Janire, you are impressive. 😍 a real pleasure. The service, the attention, the treatment, frankly impressive!!!
Sumptuous!
With a breathtaking view of the ocean, from both the interior and the terraces, this modern building enjoys a sublime setting. As for the cuisine, it is simply magnificent and supported by impeccable service: we can only praise the Spanish staff from
Not worth the price
It's not worth the price... expensive and the food left something to be desired... so much!! The view is beautiful and the place is pleasant, the service is impeccable as well...
Great Atmosphere
The service and atmosphere were above the clouds. One of the best Michelin experiences that I’ve ever had. The food was super fishy which is also local and I know it is super personal as well. We’ve been there in March, I cannot imagine how lovel
An impressive experience
Impressive, it cannot be described any other way. The food, the wines, the views, the attention, everything is a pleasure and is taken care of with exquisite care.
Marvelous
Either menu is worth it!!! Pure art!!! Everything special and unforgettable!!!! Very professional and friendly service. Finish off by drinking coffee on the terraces of the Oteiza space, a true experience
Overnight stay with dinner
We stayed in the hotel overnight and had lunch, dinner and breakfast. We were wowed from the moment we entered. The view is stunning. The architecture very modernist, and the steel staircase phenomenal. We were taken to our room on the lower seco
No comparison to other 3-star restaurants
This restaurant is primarily impressive due to its incomparable location on the cliffs of the Bay of Biscay, which is unfortunately the only criterion for the star rating. Once through the door, the tables are lined up close together, the restaurant
amazing
We arrived wet from the rain and everyone there was like family, extremely kind. And the most important, the food, was of course amazing, not a single dish disappointed
Go for the view and the lovely staff
Let me begin with the very good things. The STAFF! Wonderful, charming and delightful people. The location. It is the main reason I had picked this place. The view is spectacular. When I booked I had 8 (Michelin Rest.) options in San Sebastian,
Nice Food
It feels like it should be given 5/5 (which I give it) because it is a 3*, but something is missing, it's a feeling that it lacks some spark. The service is very pleasant, but it is not spectacular, it is very correct, but it lacks level staging. T
Slight disappointment
Great culinary experience even if sometimes not all the expected flavors were there. Beautiful, neat presentation. An attentive sommelier who took time to explain the wines presented to us. Good service until 3/4 of the meal then after a certain hour
Disappointing, and disappointed
My partner's birthday. Booked since August, with great enthusiasm, thinking of going to one of the “no va más” of Spanish gastronomy. Big mistake of mine, for not reading the negative, and completely accurate, comments about this restaurant. Wha
We went for lunch and had a great view.
Food was exceptional and wine was very reasonably priced as typical in Spain. Service was outstanding. They made special dishes for our 12 yr old daughter traveling with us.
Just back from a week long trip to San Sebastian, Spain.
Went to two Michelin star restaurants and this was one very disappointing. It began when we were seated with a view of the parking lot , a wall and a window into the kitchen. They have three tables in the back corner of the restaurant and for whate
Aloha, as you all know I'm a foodie, who loves traveling
Aloha, as you all know I'm a foodie, who loves traveling around the world to find my next meal. Akelare came highly recommended, with their Mstars. You have 2 choices of a pre-fixed meal. I may have chosen wrong, as my friend really enjoyed h
Spectacular from start to finish! Food was extraordinarily
Spectacular from start to finish! Food was extraordinarily inventive worthy of haute gastronomy. Service was impeccable and the staff has the encyclopedic knowledge about every ingredients on the food including the unfamiliar ones only native to the
Perfectly breath--taking !!
My daughters & I had a one night stay here in November. The welcome, the rooms, the breakfast were perfect (wonderful breakfast actually). The view of course, was splendid. Thank you to all the team, for such professionalism and friendliness. “
Not worth the price
My brother and I took a weekend trip to San Sebastian specifically to to try the Michelin grade food, and this was supposed to be the highlight of our weekend. By the end of the meal, however, we were left completely disappointed. Though the presenta
Our Michelin Pick!
This is the second Michelin restaurant that we have been too, this one was well worth its reviews. We each chose one of the tasting menu’s and did have the accompanying wine pairing. (The other Michelin would not let a couple do that) The wait te
Spectacular setting.
Very lovely. We have dined all over the world also, but this was disappointing. Food certainly not up to the standards you would expect and the $$$$ you will pay. We were so looking forward to a fabulous experience, but walked away very underwhelm
A perfect evening
We had our 25th wedding anniversary during COVID and so we couldn’t go out for a special meal to celebrate. So when we saw that we were staying only a short walk from a three star Michelin restaurant we decided to have our delayed anniversary meal.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Restaurante Akelarre | Pedro Subijana Donostia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Restaurante Akelarre | Pedro Subijana Donostia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Restaurante Akelarre | Pedro Subijana Donostia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Restaurante Akelarre | Pedro Subijana Donostia!
