XIRI

XIRI is a bar-restaurant, gastrobar and bistro on Idiakez Kalea in central San Sebastián. The venue brings together food, cocktails, music and painting in a setting designed for relaxed dining and drinking. Its character is informal and creative, with an interest in both traditional cooking and a more playful, contemporary bar atmosphere.

The kitchen focuses on local and seasonal produce, with traditional flavours at the centre of the offering. Pintxos and raciones are available throughout the day, making XIRI suitable for a quick bite, a shared meal or a longer stop built around several small plates. The format allows diners to choose between casual bar-style eating and a more complete meal without changing venue.

Breakfast and coffee are part of the early-day offer, while the midday service includes a daily dish. The kitchen remains open throughout the day, which gives XIRI flexibility for different schedules and makes it an option outside the usual lunch and dinner hours. Wine is also part of the experience, with the food presented alongside selected bottles and glasses.

Cocktails have an important place alongside the kitchen. XIRI works as a place for a morning coffee, pintxos in the afternoon, a midday plate, or drinks later in the day. The combination of food and drinks gives the venue a broad appeal without tying it to a single type of visit.

Art is part of the setting rather than a separate feature, with painting and music contributing to the venue’s identity. The result is a sociable gastrobar with a young, energetic spirit and an easygoing approach to eating and drinking. XIRI suits diners seeking local produce, traditional cooking, small plates, cocktails or coffee in a central Donostia location, as well as groups looking for flexible food-sharing options.
