Borda Berri
San Sebastián, Spain
The read// why locals go
Borda Berri sits on Calle Fermín Calbetón in the Parte Vieja and represents the modern end of San Sebastián's pintxos scene — cooked to order at the bar rather than laid out on it. The kitchen's reputation rests on a handful of dishes people cross the old town for: braised veal cheek, risotto with idiazabal cheese, foie gras. Each arrives as a few euros' worth of food doing considerably more than a few euros' worth of work, which is the whole logic of eating this way. Budget prices, around €13 for a proper stop. Standing room only, and busiest exactly when you want to go.
