Awesome restaurant. We had the Fuego menu and it was an incredible experience.  Each dish was a symphony of diferent flavors. We had the wine pairings and this was an experience itself. I would really recommend this. Sorry I forgot to take pictures of some of the dishes before eating them.

The steak was excellent. Definitely seems to be more a meat restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful. The setting was unique.

If I could give this a 6 star, I would. Recently renovated and renamed “Lumbre”.

My wife and I spent 10 days in Spain for a driving and culinary tour, and we must say this was the best dining experience we had. Dishes were exquisite, the service top-notch, the atmosphere intimate and very comfortable.

And this was after a day we had dinner at Kotkotxa, a 1-star Michelin at San Sebastián. Dining at Lumbre made Kotkotxa seem “normal”.

We had the Sardine Lasagne as starters, which was nothing like a traditional lasagne. The flavors were outstanding.  Next, the Hake and Lamb Chops - ten thumbs up. Cooked perfectly so the meats are tender.

And then the Torijja (Spanish traditional dessert) and the Canutillos (filled pastry with chocolate) were marvelous.

Highly recommended.

Excellent presentation, good food but not quite superb. Very detailed wine list.
