Arzak Donostia Reviews from The Last Year
Good experience
Its a traditional Michelin restaurant. We enjoyed eating there. It was a nice surprise to see the friendly chef visiting our table.
Best in class 3 Michelin stars
3 Michelin star well deserved. Restaurant located out of San Sebatian but you can walk from the city center, 45 mins walking. You need to book some months in advance if you want to eat in weekends. The taste menu worth 280 euroa not including beverages and wines. The menu is closed but the waiter offer you several options for each plate. Impressive traditional basque food with very fresh products and best in class preparation. Arzak is undoubtedly my favourite restaurant until now.
Unforgettable experience.
Fantastic 3 Michelin star restaurant. Do not miss if you are in the region. Fabulous tasting menu. We liked every dish. Great maitre d’ (Adolpho) who knew our Swiss village (Bluche). Very knowledgeable and pleasant sommelier, who made us discover extraordinary Spanish wines, some exclusively made for Arzak. Had the pleasure to meet Helena, fourth generation owner. An unforgettable experience. We will be back.
Terrible restaurant, don't come here
This place is horrendous. Far too expensive for too little food with maggots in the food. It didn't feel safe to eat and the pollo was undercooked. As a head chef myself i understand its hard to get food right consistently but this was unacceptable. I really believe for this price the food here should exceed my expectations but this was so terribly disappointing.
Perfection !
There is no need for many words when talking about Arzak. Reference point for 3 Michelin stars. Friendly smiling welcome, refined and elegant ambiance so it's obvious that balanced perfection is aimed at every point. Each plate in the degustation menu was super creative, almost a piece of art. Many thanks to all the chefs and their assistants in the kitchen who made this experience unique, Ms.Elena for her gracious hosting and Ms.Shua for her sincere sharing and support in wine selections. Eskerrik Asko.
Somewhat disappointing...
For me Arzak is the perfect example of a restaurant that delivers nice dishes in a convivial environment, but suffers because of its 3* Michelin rating. The highest culinary accolade from Michelin sets the bar high, and Arzak needs the Hubble telescope to see that bar because it is so far from serving 3* cuisine. The dining room is relatively small, the atmosphere is very relaxed and the service very friendly. Elena Arzak came out of the kitchen to put the menu together for us, although I think it just ended up being the standard tasting menu, however, this was a nice touch nevertheless. The plating of the dishes was somewhat laissez faire to say the least, and was certainly not the ultra precise, or elegant style one might expect in a 3* restaurant. The ingredient quality was good, although none of the dishes seemed that complex or memorable. Complexity doesn't have to mean lots of different things on the plate, it could be as simple as a beautifully cooked piece of fish served with an exquisite sauce that involved a lot of time and technique. Here the sauces were all pretty basic, with no hidden depths. The pastry section was unexciting too; pastry provides the opportunity to show off with lots of techniques to produce something that tastes great and looks pretty. None of the dishes ticked even one of these boxes. I've been fortunate to dine in quite a lot of 3* restaurants, and for me this delivers an low-average 2* or even high 1* type experience and that is the problem. If one is dining at a 3* restaurant then one expects at least one or two fireworks during the course of the meal, and here we didn't even have a damp sparkler. Michelin is not doing them any favours by maintaining this rating as it simply means customers have unrealistic expectations relative to what is being placed in front of them which is a shame because when pushing awards to one side, dinner here is a very joyful experience. I'm certainly pleased that I've tried Arzak, but at their current price point one can certainly do a lot better elsewhere.
Extraordinary adventure in food
Fantastic adventure in food - everything was note-perfect, the service impeccable and the owner gave us a personal tour of the kitchen and cellar. Extraordinary.
Délicieuse cuisine
Ce restaurant propose une cuisine délicieuse qui éveillera vos papilles avec chaque bouchée
Wonderful & creative dinner, beautifully presented, great atmosphere & service
Wonderful dinner and terrific experience for an evening out with our adult son and his new wife, approaching their first anniversary. Each course was delicious, beautifully presented, and sometimes featuring unexpected combinations of ingredients that worked so nicely together (e.g. fresh oyster with beef emulsion, sudachi, seagrapes, kefir lime and an additional sweet acidic note of tomatoey vinegar). Overarching all was excellent, friendly and attentive service in a modern, comfortable (and refreshingly well-lit!) decor with particular warmth and humor from Cesar, whose service, knowledge and amiable manner added greatly to the evening. We're out for dinner quite a bit, living in a "foodie" town ourselves (Portland, Maine, USA) and have the fortunate experience of having eaten in many Michelin-starred restaurants over the years around the world, so what stands out to us at Arzak is that they've mastered with clear confidence the highest elements of elegant fine dining while somehow creating a more comfortable, natural and approachable atmosphere and avoiding the sometimes intense, serious and rehearsed feeling of other excellent Michelin-starred restaurants. Even in San Sebastian, where there are so many excellent dining options at all levels, Arzak is clearly among the highest. Look forward to returning!
Celebrating 66
The genius of feeding the body, mind and spirit is the gift the 50+ kitchen staff serves up at this legendary restaurant.
Amazing all round.
First time visit, whilst in Spain for a holiday. A really excellent place to eat in and spend time with the family 100% recommend.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
