Food
San Sebastian is the center of
the new Basque cuisine. Seafood is, of course, one of the main ingredients
in traditional dishes using sea bream and hake cheeks. Chick-peas,
garbanzo beans, asparagus, olive oil, garlic, corn, rice and regional
cheeses are common ingredients blended with sauces and spices mixed
with meat like lamb, pork beef or poultry to create amazing mouthwatering
dishes.
San Sebastian has a multitude of "Caserones",
villa style houses/restaurants where they serve typical Basque cuisine
based on their rich gastronomic traditions. Breakfast
is usually served around 9:30am, lunch is served between
2:00 and 3:00 pm followed by a long siesta, and finally dinner in
only after 9:00 pm.
San Sebastian makes several famed wines and they are usually had
with meals. The prices for these wines range from affordable to
very expensive. Apple cider and 'Txakoli,' a dry white wine are
the most popular drinks.
