The traditional Spanish and Navarran dishes are also highlights, complemented by friendly and attentive service.

"Until now the best restaurant in Pamplona center. Smaller, you have to reserve your table, but the food and atmosphere is just amazing.
Price is fair and much better compared to other bars.
We didnt wait on anything. Service was very nice and fast.
We will go again. I am sure of it!"

"I’m surprised by the positive reviews about the food. My husband ordered ribs; they seemed tasty, but the meat inside was cold, which indicates they’re not serving fresh food. The meat wasn't fresh, which could even be unsafe. Serving food straight from the fridge, especially at their prices, is absurd. I had a hamburger, unlike any I’ve had before. The patty was terribly greasy, clearly frozen, and flavorless. Honestly, McDonald's tastes better. And on top of all this, the food in the nearly empty café was served after a 40-minute wait. Then, after an additional 40 minutes, I was told my order didn’t exist. So, while everyone else enjoyed their meals, I waited for the most tasteless hamburger of my life."

"Tapas (Pintxos) were good, but the dinner was even better. Forgot to take pictures of my main course."
