Plan your visit to the Restaurante Akelarre

Home to Akelarre’ exclusive wine collection, which features some of the most prestigious vintages. Hundreds of bottles from most of the world’s major grape-growing regions are stored at a steady 16 degrees temperature and displayed in a subdued lighting that sets the mood. More than 700 references of all types and for all palates, from light, crisp whites to round, powerful reds, as well as celebratory sparkling wines and history-rich sherrys. 

Visit our Wine Cellar

A space where Akelarre essence lives. As you approach a mural painted by local artist Tomás Hernández – an allegory of San Sebastian and the culinary arts -, a door opens into a new space of research, with a more relaxed atmosphere than the main kitchen. The room has been conceived to be simultaneously a place conducive to experimentation (R & D + r), and a testing ground for new and improved recipes before they make it into the menu. 

Visit our I+D Room and Kitchen

At the end of the meal, you will have the privilege of a photo with Chef Pedro Subijana, and will take away a dedicated and autographed tasting menu.

Occupying 8,600 square feet/800 square meters on the first floor of the hotel, Akelarre Spa is a cocoon of serenity where you can enjoy a memorable well-being experience. Combining the benefits of Valmont and Sisley products with natural elements, such as Dead Sea salt and Cantabrian Sea stones, treatments are an integral part of its relaxation circuit. It leads you through the heated swimming pool and finishes amid Zen-like surroundings where you can lay back and contemplate the big blue.

AKELARRE SPA

“Successful creations start with the best products. Each dish must be approached with the daring of a young chef, the experience of a mature man and the wisdom of an elder.” The personality of Chef Pedro Subijana, always striving to do better and his constant quest for innovation have made him an ambassador for new Basque cuisine. He adds a "personal touch" to traditional recipes: hake and its "kokotxa", oyster leaf and "mussel beans". Enjoy the impressive panoramic views of the Cantabrian sea from Mount Igeldo while dining at this restaurant located just five minutes from the centre of Saint Sebastián.

(In order to guarantee the tranquility of all our guests, we inform you that Akelarre does not recommend booking a stay with children under 14 years old. The Spa is available from 18 years old.)
