Tucked away on Calle 31 de Agosto in the historic old quarter of Donostia-San Sebastián, Bar Martínez is a beloved address for anyone eager to experience the true spirit of Basque pintxo culture. This is a place where generations of tradition meet a genuine passion for quality ingredients, resulting in a menu that feels both nostalgic and vibrantly alive.

The counter overflows with inventive cold and hot pintxos, from marinated anchovies and king crab to stuffed peppers with tuna and tartar sauce, while heartier raciones such as grilled octopus, red tuna steak, or a premium beef chuletón satisfy those looking for a fuller meal. Every dish reflects a careful balance between honouring classic Basque recipes and adding subtle creative touches that keep the menu exciting.

Pair your pintxos with a thoughtfully curated wine list featuring well-known Rioja and Navarra reds, and enjoy the lively, convivial atmosphere that only a traditional San Sebastián pintxo bar can offer. Whether you're a first-time visitor exploring the old town or a local returning for your favourite bite, Bar Martínez promises an authentic and satisfying taste of Basque gastronomy.
