Built as a house in 1897 by the current owner's grandparents, they turned it into a wine inn and tavern. At the time, the village of Alza was separate from San Sebastián. When the next generation took over, it was turned into a restaurant. Kitchen duties are now shared between Juan Mari Arzak and his daughter Elena Arzak.Awards and honors
