Saturday, 3:27 PM...I guess the kitchen is about to close. I rush in after a trip, looking for somewhere to eat something gluten-free. Hello, maybe a gluten-free calamari sandwich? Check the time, ask the kitchen. Half or whole, just ask. The best gluten-free calamari sandwich I've had in a long time. Those of you with celiac disease understand.
Thanks to the Bizargorri Taberna team for their kindness and service. We enjoyed sandwiches and a spectacular gluten-free beer on the terrace.

So-so. Some items we ordered did not arrive and I had to have them removed from the bill.
We were very clear about needing certain items to be gluten-free and they arrived attached to pieces of bread. Getting this wrong is really dangerous for your celiac customers. If you can't serve gluten free food safely, that's fine. But staff need to be trained to communicate this.
This casual spot offers a warm, inclusive vibe with a small street terrace perfect for enjoying meals outdoors.

Recommended if you want to eat a salad in Donostia and drink a natural juice. The salads are delicious. The girl who served us was honestly super nice and super friendly. I wish everyone was as friendly as that girl. It's a shame I can't remember her name despite asking her 😭, but the place is worth it for the service you get there.
I went with my mother, who can't eat gluten, sugar, or sauces, and they really gave us great advice.
They do have a gluten-free option, though they didn't even have any bread to go with the salad that day.
It was a bit warm, so it was better outside. They could have installed a more optimal and comfortable ventilation system than the one they have.
Thank you so much!
While this intimate spot offers a cozy, traditional ambiance and a lively bar atmosphere, it lacks reliable options for those seeking gluten-free pintxos. The menu does not provide safe choices for celiac diners, and cross-contamination risks are present, making it challenging for guests with gluten sensitivities to enjoy the experience fully.

We had a company dinner and everything went wonderfully. Delicious food, good portions and careful attention. To repeat!
To put a but, a slightly more elaborate vegan or gluten-free dessert would be missing.

A bar with nothing to write home about.
- The waiters are extremely slow and lazy. The only efficient one is the guy, who's also very nice, but the girls... I'd say no more.
- The manager or owner doesn't understand anything. She's very good at collecting money, but she doesn't know how to manage the place.
- The omelette is very good, the coffee too, and the fresh orange juice is squeezed right in front of you... But the toasts need a lot of improvement, as do the sandwiches, and not to mention that if you order something gluten-free, they add €3, so the toast can cost you €9 (a rip-off).
- Very good cleanliness.
- Excellent location.
- Too many tables around the bar (If you're already struggling to serve normally, why don't you put more obstacles in your way...)
- For good meat, there's a steakhouse.
In short, if you're not in a hurry and fancy a coffee, it's a good option, but if you want a good breakfast, lunch, or brunch... Look for other options, there are many better ones.

The food is great, everything homemade, I am Celiac and they had gluten-free bread. The freshly cut ham, the incredible coffee (it was not bitter since it was natural) and the natural juices. The waitress's treatment was unbeatable. The place is small but it is worth it. If I come back, I will come back for sure, it's nice to find places like this, better than your own home.

We walked in after my son falling down and they graciously helped us with their first aid kit.
Service was excellent, great atmosphere but you need to make reservations because it’s always packed.
I can’t eat gluten and the waitress was very helpful with the menu and my options.
