Casa Urola is one of the most emblematic restaurants in San Sebastian. What started out as a brothel in 1948 became a drinking bar where groups of people would meet every day to have a drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the passage of time, in 1986, the chef Patxi Aizpuru took over the place and turned it into one of the most famous and prestigious restaurants in the old part of San Sebastian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2011, Patxi left Urola Restaurant to focus on El Urbano, another restaurant to which he has dedicated the rest of his years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casa Urola today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, and since 2012, the Urola is run by the chef Pablo Loureiro Rodil, who began his career in the kitchen in the famous Donostiarra restaurant “Rodil” of his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After passing through the Branka restaurant, in 2012 he decided to open his own restaurant with his wife Bego\u00f1a Arenas, taking the Urola to what it is today, where highlights its menu where many of its main dishes are made with charcoal grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first floor of “Casa Urola” is the bar, where you can taste traditional and haute cuisine pintxos made at the time and that certainly will not leave you indifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are also some tables downstairs, the main dining room is located on the second floor of the house. The dining room is striking because it is like eating in a living room. Nowadays it would be unthinkable to get a license to have a restaurant on the floor of a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dining room, which only has 14 tables, is very pleasant and cozy, as is the service, which is very attentive and friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
