$$$-$$$$, Basque, Eixample
Fodor's Review:
Specializing in San Sebastián's favorite dishes, the only drawback for this Basque restaurant is that a table is hard to score unless you call weeks in advance (an idea to consider before you hit the airport). The tapas served over the first come, first served bar, however, are of such a high quality that you can barely do better à table, though there is a theory that dining well precludes seeing your feet. The charming family that owns and runs this semisecret gem is the definition of hospitality.
