Today marked the beginning of a food first in San Sebastián : the first-ever restaurant week. With about .01% of the population of a city like New York, San Sebastián manages to retain an oversize influence in the culinary world.

And over the next two weeks, 16 restaurants in the city and its surrounding areas are offering prix-fixe menus at 25 euros apiece.  I think it's a pretty fine deal, and personally I'm looking forward to trying them....all :)  My lunches and dinners over the next two week will be totally consumed.

You can keep up with photos on flickr and follow Restaurant Week on Twitter.
