It was so good being involved with Alex in preparing and cooking fresh local produce, then tasting the benefits with well matched local wines in such idealic surroundings. Thanks Jon for a memorable day in this unique region.

Alex, our teacher, was very skilled and extremely passionate about his profession and being part of a working restaurant kitchen was certainly an eye opener. I think we'll be drawing on our experience for many years to come.

The pintxos tour was invaluable for figuring out where some of the best pintxos are to be found along with just getting to know the old quarter. The cooking class answered a lot of my questions about Basque cooking, was entertaining and offered a lovely meal at the end of the event. San Sebastian Food is very professional with an excellent selection of tours.

Jon and the chefs were so lovely and friendly - it felt like they honestly cared about you having a good time. Plus if you do the Basque Cooking Class and/or Pinxtos Cooking Class you get to travel on a boat to nearby San Juan - a local picture place in the heart of the Basque Country. Unforgettable experience and the best thing I did in San Sebastian.

The class was held in a fabulous little restaurant, right on the water, with a fun chef who just loves to use local ingredients (and I mean local - they came straight off the trawler during the class!). The food was exceptional and it's nice to be able to impress friends with some new recipes!
