Zmare
San Sebastian
At a glance
Zmare is a restaurant, events venue and training space on Zurriola Hiribidea, beside San Sebastián’s Zurriola beach area. Its dining offer is shaped by a coastal setting, with tables positioned to make the most of views towards the sea. The atmosphere combines relaxed seaside dining with a flexible approach suited to celebrations, gatherings and professional occasions.
The menu includes rice dishes and meats cooked on the grill, alongside cocktails. This gives the restaurant a broad format for different kinds of visits, from a meal centred on a substantial main course to a more leisurely drink in a setting connected to the beach. The emphasis is on carefully prepared food, a sea-facing location and a social dining experience.
Zmare also operates as an events space. Weddings, parties, business events and meetings can be arranged there, with the venue adapting elements such as catering and atmosphere to the occasion. The connection with the sea remains part of the setting, making the space relevant for gatherings that call for a restaurant environment with a coastal backdrop.
A separate part of the venue focuses on lifesaving and lifeguarding education. Official courses combine classroom learning with practical work in the water, alongside an emphasis on responsibility and teamwork. Training takes place in a setting close to the sea and is distinct from the restaurant’s food and events services.
The venue also expresses an environmental commitment through the use of photovoltaic solar panels at its facilities. For visitors, Zmare therefore brings together three related but different functions: a restaurant serving rice dishes, grilled meats and cocktails; an adaptable place for private and professional events; and a base for practical lifesaving training. The Zurriola address places all three within one of San Sebastián’s coastal neighbourhoods.
