Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Excellent service,the staff is very friendly,polite and clever! I’m really glad from everyone and everything.Amazing food,very fresh and delicious,wines too,you have a starter, main and dessert and drink! Thank you very much! I hugely appreciate! Muchas gracias."
"Good restaurant accessed through the adjoining bar. Comfortable and fresh appearance and good service (with comparatively limited English and no English menu). On Friday we were limited to the more expensive tasting menu which was good and did include wine, but I might personally have preferred the more normal fare. I liked best the pre-starter (photo) and the interesting tomato salad. But that's me."
"Good daily menu for dinner, about 25€/pax. Very good service and the food was yummy. Desserts were crazy. Recommendable."
"Great food, excellent service and brilliant value - one of the best wine lists I’ve seen in Pamplona. Lovely range of rustic local food with clever variations and wonderful presentation - highly recommended."
"Pleasant atmosphere, nice service, crowded especially Thursday-Saturday. Second place awards The week of pinchos in Pamplona, March 2023 (you can see the photo with the boat). Decent wine selection for the reasonable price."
"These guys are amazing. We were looking for a nice dinner in Pamplona and we happened to bump into this place. The menu was incredible. The amount of food you get for the price you pay is just insane. We truly enjoyed the experience. They also give you a bottle of wine to go along with your dinners if you order the menu. Everything was a 10/10 including the service. Thank you very much!!"
"The service was top notch! The food was really delicious. Huge bonus for us is that we were allowed to bring our well behaved golden retriever inside the restaurant. Recommend this place! But do note that they have a restaurant and a bar which have different hours. So don’t rely strictly on the google that shows bar hours. Reservation is highly recommended."
