  • San Sebastian, a city of Spanish modern cuisine. Bodegón Alejandro is recommended by NY Times, the cooking is creative and food is delicious. The chilled anchovy dish is a genius fusion of Spanish, French and Italian around Mediterranean. The veal cheek dish is in perfect flavor and texture, clean and rich the same time.
