DONOSTIA-SAN SEBASTIÁN - RESTAURANTE SALTXIPI
RESTAURANTE SALTXIPI
Chef Jon Ortega is at the stove grilling sensational looking gambas, hake, monkfish, turbot and T-Bone steaks. Famous for its spider crabs which it keeps in the basement this has become a place for trendy thirty something’s.
Look out for the Ibiza style chill out to be added soon.
The food is traditional so if you order turbot or red sea bream, that its what you get, no extras, but expertly cooked.
The menu is quite spider crab based, but so it should be with such a great product
