La Viña

The owner of La Viña invented the Basque burnt cheesecake when he put this custardy dessert into the high-temperature ovens at the restaurant. This total culinary taboo ended up being one of the most successful dessert innovations of the century: the cheesecake melts in your mouth, gets slightly caramelized on the outside, and is ultra-creamy on the inside. La Viña's cheesecake has become a legitimate San Sebastián landmark, so there’s usually a line during busy months. Avoid the crowds by coming before dinner or for your last bite of the night.
