"Our large group of international travelers was driving along the north coast toward San Sebastián and stopped for lunch at Sidreria. We had an amazing time with our waiters Reynaldo and Antonio! The food was fantastic…not one disappointment. It was a great experience. Would recommend."

"We stopped here after a day on the Camino del Norte. We have been hiking for 11 days and this was the best experience of service we’ve had. Antonio, the owner, was cheerful, entertaining and delightful.
We loved our meal of grilled vegetable (very
hard to find in this region) and the octopus Galician was so tender. The whole fish and potatoes was also delish. And the dessert was for the sweet tooth lover. Enjoyed a local aperitif as his specialty prune liqueur.
We had the best time and would highly recommend !"

"This is a find, if you like cider. The cabbage wrapped pork and Tortilla are perfect with the magically poured cider. Lovely for me."
