Local tip
For a rice-focused meal, a reservation can be arranged by calling the restaurant on +34 943 42 83 52.

Ubarrechena is an arrocería in San Sebastián’s Parte Vieja, positioned at the corner of Calle Mayor and C. del Puerto. The restaurant centres its cooking on rice dishes, including paellas, while also offering a broad menu influenced by Mediterranean and Basque cuisine.

Paellas and other rice-based preparations give the menu its clearest direction. Alongside them, the kitchen covers several familiar restaurant categories, including salads, pasta, fish and meat. This range makes Ubarrechena suitable for meals where different diners are looking for different styles of food, while keeping rice and paella as the main point of focus.

The meat selection includes dishes prepared on the grill, served with potatoes and confit peppers. Fish provides a separate route through the menu, while salads and pasta add lighter or more familiar choices. The combination reflects the restaurant’s stated blend of Mediterranean ingredients and Basque culinary influence rather than a single regional format.

Its location places Ubarrechena within the compact streets of the Parte Vieja, an appropriate setting for a central restaurant meal. The address on Calle Mayor, close to the port-side street of C. del Puerto, makes the restaurant relevant for diners already exploring the old town and for parties choosing a centrally located place to eat.

Ubarrechena suits diners interested in a dedicated rice restaurant with options beyond paella. It can work for a straightforward lunch or dinner, a shared meal built around rice, or a mixed table where some diners prefer fish, meat, pasta or salad. The menu’s breadth also gives the restaurant flexibility for different tastes without moving away from its arrocería identity.

Reservations are available through the restaurant, with telephone contact provided for table enquiries. Checking practical arrangements directly is sensible for parties with particular seating needs, dietary questions or plans to dine outdoors. The restaurant’s central Parte Vieja address and varied Mediterranean-Basque menu make it a natural choice for a meal organised around paella, rice dishes or a broader selection of familiar Spanish-style cooking.
