Juanito Kojua

About

Juanito Kojua, part of the Grupo Garrancho family, stands as the oldest and most storied eatery in Donostia’s historic Old Town. Michelin‑recommended for its authentic Basque cuisine, the restaurant has been serving patrons since 1947, offering freshly caught fish, succulent seafood, and seasonal salads rooted in traditional Basque flavors. The menu features an array of seasonal dishes, tapas, and generous portions that sit between classic “hero” dishes like ‘Txangurro a la Donostiarra’ and contemporary takes on regional favourites, complemented by a carefully curated selection of regional wines. Juanito Kojua invites diners to experience a serene, family‑friendly atmosphere where historic décor meets modern comfort. From Monday to Saturday, guests can enjoy two lunch‑and‑dinner windows – from 12:30 to 15:30 and again from 19:30 to 22:30 – while Sunday service is lunchtime only, from 12:30 to 15:30. Reservations are recommended, especially during the busy summer months, and can be made online via the official website or by phone at +34 943 42 01 80. Whether you’re indulging in a traditional pintxo, sampling the chef’s seasonal ‘menu degustación’, or exploring the rich heritage of Basque gastronomy, Juanito Kojua promises an unforgettable culinary journey steeped in history. The timeless charm, combined with consistent quality, makes it a must‑visit for anyone eager to savour genuine Basque flavors in the heart of San Sebastián.
