Astelena

A part of Donostia heritage

For many Spaniards, Ander González is a familiar face from television; for others, a professor at the Basque Culinary Center or a trusted consultant in Basque cuisine. Foreign guests are more likely to know him from his 28 years as head chef at Astelena. The walls still echo an earlier era, but the dining room has seen a transformation — now more formal, with white tablecloths and a mood to match. The service aligns with the setting. Elegant plates leave the kitchen, shaped by the seasons and designed to meet most appetites.
