San Sebastian: Food
Most restaurants in San Sebastian
have a set menú del día, which is usually a good way
to sample many different types of food, as well as being a good
bargain. It will generally include an appetizer, bread, a main dish,
dessert, and coffee or tea, and is generally only served at lunchtime.
A popular dish in San Sebastian
is anything with pork; especially jamón serrano which is
a leg of ham cured and then hung out to dry in the store window.
Bacon, longanissa, and chorizo are also consumed in quite heavy
numbers as well.
If you have never been
to San Sebastian, or Spain for that matter, you must know that the
dining schedule is quite different from most American's eating habits.
Breakfast is around 9:30; lunch at about 2:30-3 followed by a lengthy
siesta, and finally dinner no earlier than 9 p.m.
