Aratz

Aratz is a restaurant and bar on Igara Bidea in San Sebastián. Its format brings together a dining room, a bar and a dedicated cellar, giving the venue a clear connection between food service and wine. The restaurant’s published information places the wine selection at the centre of its offer, with a list arranged across several established categories.

The cellar and wine list cover sparkling wines, champagne, white wines, rosé wines, red wines and sweet wines. The selection also includes cavas, txakoli and ciders, while the red wine section is divided into crianza and reserva styles. This range gives the venue a useful point of interest for diners choosing a bottle, comparing different types of wine or looking for familiar Spanish categories alongside other options.

Aratz is not presented as a single-purpose wine shop or tasting room. It operates as a full restaurant with a bar, so the setting is suited to different parts of the day. The published schedule starts in the morning on weekdays and later at the weekend, continuing through to midnight. That timetable makes the venue relevant for an early visit as well as for a meal or drink later in the day.

The restaurant’s information also gives separate space to the kitchen and the cellar, reflecting the way the venue organises its offer. The cuisine is not defined by a specific regional or international label in the published material, so Aratz is best described simply as a restaurant and bar with a substantial wine selection rather than assigned a style that is not confirmed.

Aratz is located at Igara Bidea 15, 20018 Donostia, in Gipuzkoa. The venue publishes two telephone numbers for enquiries, along with an email address, making direct contact the practical route for checking reservations, dietary requirements, group arrangements and other visit details. The combination of a restaurant, bar and varied cellar makes Aratz a suitable option for diners whose choice of venue includes the drinks selection as well as the meal.
