Oliyos - San Sebastian

Wow. The food and service at this place was awesome. Delicious tapas and great wine at very reasonable prices. So good we went there twice. Highly recommended.

Very close to our hotel and a great find. Superb cod, lovely salmon with crab and prawn and tasty tuna. 4 glasses of wine under 5 euro what more could you want.

The pintxos bar is excellent, one of the best in San Sebastian, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The pintxos are varied and sophisticated and look like little works of art. A lot are fish based. There are bocaddilloes and pintxos on the bar and you can order hot pintxos the hake in batter and the oliyos ball are very good. Russian salad, bacalao and the peppers, olives and anchovies are the best we had on the trip. The Oliyos ball is a piece of tuna, coated in béchamel sauce then battered and deep fried very good! There is also a restaurant which is a bit disappointing. The cooking is from the same kitchen and is very simple all the creativity and attention seems to go into the pintxos. The night we went there was only one waitress looking after about 8 or 9 tables. She was helped by someone coming in occasionally from the bar to help out. Wine was opened and put on the table but we weren 't asked to taste it and had to pour it and water ourselves. Prices seemed steep for the level of service and simplicity of the food. My advice would be to give the restaurant a miss and go straight to the bar!

A great discovery. We went on recommendation and it was a great success to start the day. wonderful banders and delicious saladilla. A wonder

Good pintxos, good attention. another neighborhood bar with good atmosphere. small but nice. The cod pintxo, very good.
