Restaurant Txalupa - Carta

After reading reviews we were excited to try this place.

Compared to the other pintxos bars that we went to over 2 separate trips to San Sebastian, this was just okay.

The steak and potatoes were very good. My wife loved her tuna correctly seared. She liked her Julian vegetables. Good amber draft beer. Service was good. Ver carta

Menu consisting of local specialities (fish,tapas,sweet dessert,nice wines) Inside a room with 3 removal glass walls. High standing for an acceptable price. Good service.

This pintxosbar is not as crowded as the most popular ones in San Sabastian but their choices of pintxoses seem to be as good as any other. We were very happy with our choices and we have no problem recommending this pintxosbar to others.

Their outdoor seating (on the east side) is certainly pleasant; the Dover Sole was exceptionally delicious, and we quite enjoyed our late lunch. I felt it necessary to diminish the rating to Very Good simply because the service was perfunctory and nearly unfriendly. We would probably go again - just for the sole. Ver carta

One of the specials was a delicious barbue a la plancha - it was brill, geddit? - together with a mushroom risotto and a glass of Iroulegy. A nice green salad gave it the right balance. The dessert of almond biscuit cake with ice cream rounded it off. Nice efficient service and a buzzy atmosphere made this one to revisit.

I used to go to the Txalupa in St-Jean-de-Luz when I was a student, and, coming back after so many years, I was amazed to see that the quality even increased over years. Great seafood platters, along with so well recommended wines and very innovative desserts. A very valuable place to have a family lunch in the new veranda. Very nice service and friendly personnel, who know how to assist their clients. Everybody enjoyed it, and I was happy to bring them there, as a remembrance from my younger years ...

We needed to select a place for dinner on a very short notice and it was Saturday so our concierge was able to find a table only at this place. The Tripadvisor's rating was not so high so we were somewhat hesitant. But we had a great dinner. Our waitress was very nice, friendly and helpful. We followed her advice on starters from local cuisine with 4 or 5 selections for the table and everything tasted very good. Based on other reviews, we went with sole for the main course - and this was the right choice - well prepared and really fresh with nice sauce. The place was fully packed. I can see how the service can be "slow" when busy but all waiters seemed to be very nice and trying very hard. S... Ver carta
