Zmare
Biarritz
At a glance
Zmare is a restaurant, events venue and training space on Zurriola Hiribidea in San Sebastián. Its setting beside the sea shapes both the dining experience and the wider character of the venue, with tables oriented towards the coast and views that form part of the visit. It can suit travellers following the shoreline from Biarritz to San Sebastián, as well as local diners looking for a meal in the Zurriola area.
The food centres on rice dishes and grilled meats, complemented by cocktails. The menu combines hearty main courses with a setting designed for relaxed dining beside the water. Zmare presents its food as a restaurant experience rather than a separate takeaway or café offer, making it suitable for a meal, a drink, or time shared around the table.
Alongside regular restaurant service, Zmare has space for celebrations and organised gatherings. The venue caters for weddings, parties, company events and meetings, with arrangements that can include catering and the atmosphere of the space. This makes it relevant for groups seeking a coastal location for a planned occasion, whether the event is social or professional. The venue’s approach allows event requirements to be discussed around catering and presentation.
Zmare also provides official lifesaving and lifeguarding training in a real marine environment. The courses combine theoretical learning with practical work in the water, alongside an emphasis on commitment and teamwork. This educational role gives the venue a broader connection to the sea than its restaurant offer alone and places it within the working environment of Zurriola.
The overall style is informal but organised, with dining, cocktails, events and training brought together in one coastal address. The sea-facing setting is the defining feature, while the menu provides a choice of rice-based dishes and grilled meat. Zmare is therefore suited to diners seeking a meal near the water, groups arranging a celebration, and organisations looking for an event space with a maritime backdrop. The address is Zurriola Hiribidea, 41, in the 20002 area of Donostia / San Sebastián.
