Suggestions for breakfast and lunch in San Sebastián. Pintxos Tour?

I will be staying at Hotel de Londres y de Inglaterra in late August with my teen daughter. Any suggestions for breakfast near the hotel and lunch based on our itinerary?

Day 1 (Sunday) we will start our day walking along El Paseo de la Concha towards Mount Igueldo, stop off at Miramar Palace and end at Monte Igueldo, ascend to experience that. Afterwards some beach time at Ondarreta Beach. That evening I'm thinking of booking a pintxos tour with either San Sebastián Pintxos Tour or Devour San Sebastián.

Day 2 (Monday) we will do some shopping around Calle Larramendi, stop off at Cathedral of the Good Shepard and continue on to Gros for more shopping and wandering and beach watching. Back over to Old Town with a stop at Mercado La Bretxa. *Dinner suggestion welcome or should we do pintxos?

Day 3 (Tuesday, 1/2 day before returning to Barcelona) start at Monte Urgull and hike up. Afterward walk to San Telmo Museum and Mercado San Martín before grabbing our bags from the hotel around 2:30pm for our 4:00pm train to Barcelona.

I've been researching the same thing, as we will be there late October. Restaurant Arroka-Berri is highly recommended in the travel review media. Also Alameda Restaurant- family owned for 85 years if I recall what I was reading- gets raves.

I’d suggest just doing your own pintxos tour. Go to 4 or 5 different places and try something at each. You really can’t go wrong.

My favorite place for pinxtos was La Cuchara de San Telmo. All the pinxtos here were made to order and are listed on the chalkboard.
