Weiterlesen I was staying at the NH Aruna Park Hotel, just across the street, and needed a mid-day snack. Walked over for a few beers and got an enormous plate of sausages. Service was good, and the food we had was tasty and plentiful. Tasty sausages! Beer selection was also pretty good, with a few Belgian offerings along with standard Spanish pale lagers. Crowd wasn't too bad during San Fermin. I don't regret stopping in. (As of May 21, 2013, the picture is not correct for this restaurant.

Weiterlesen First, Rezola is one of the very few cider houses that does the meal and txotx year-round. So, if you are visiting in the summer months, it is a good place to have the experience. Believe me, it is an experience! We had a group of 5, and walked into the empty place. A gentleman was sitting outside with the ciderhouse dog. He walked in with us, showed us how to use the txotx, and started cooking our amazing meal. The txotx is the spout on the large barrel of cider. It is all-you-can-drink, and you just help yourself. Fresh cider, from the barrel!! So good!!!! Then, the food started coming out. Chorizo and cheese, with delicious bread. Bacalao omelet. The bacalao with peppers and garlic was incredible!! Then the steak. A monster ribeye. By the end, I was so full of delicious food and cider that I could barely wait to sit by the beach in San Sebastian. As a lover of Basque Sidra, this was a very memorable experience. The two gentlemen working there didn't speak English, but were very helpful. They were enjoying their own lunch of goose barnacles, and even offered some of those to us. I will never forget my visit to Rezola. It is very basic and old-school, but delicious and a really good time.
