Igeldo Restaurant
About
Restaurante Igeldo is a family‑run bastion of Basque seafood, located on the quayside of Don Sebastián’s historic old port. Since the 1970s it has specialised in grilled fish and shellfish – from classic pintxos to hearty mains like lobster or sea bass – all prepared with locally sourced, fresh ingredients. The menu reflects the vibrant maritime tradition of the Basque Country, yet it is also mindful of dietary needs; every dish is available gluten‑free and the kitchen can accommodate special requests. Guests enjoy generous portions at a mid‑range price point (around €10 to start) in an airy setting that boasts a sea‑side terrace with sweeping views of the harbor. A relaxed, friendly atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for families, couples, seafood enthusiasts or anyone wishing to taste the catch of the day in a pleasant Basque ambience.
