What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Olla is highly praised for its delicious food, particularly seafood and expertly prepared meats, coupled with exceptional and attentive service. The cozy atmosphere with great attention to detail also contributes to a wonderful dining experience. While generally highly rated, some diners found the prices to be a bit high.
"We managed a table on the 30th December, after calling and the answer was that the restaurant was full later but available on the spot and early! When we arrived we managed to get an early table and eat a beautiful meal! We had clams, seafood soup and a grilled sea bass! The clams were big, as you can see on the picture! The sea food soup tasted like the ocean! The fish was tender and could be cut like butter! It became our New Year’s Eve dinner, with very attentive service and not expected at all during this time of the year! Thank you to both ladies that served us!"
Mariana Guerra Coelho
"My siblings and I were very lucky to find this restarurant on a very busy Saturday, without a reservation and every other place packed. We waited a little bit to be seated and were very pleased with the service, the quality of the food and the atmosphere. We were seated in a lovely cozy corner and had the greatest time while eating delicious food and drank an amazing red wine."
Lilian Carolina Diaz Gomez
"We had a wonderful dinner. Went for a quick dish and the place didn’t disappoint. All the dishes we got were really good and the service was amazing. The steak is one of the best one we’ve gotten in the region. Oxtail was super tender and the squid really tasty.
Would recommend and come again. Just a little pricy in our opinion but again the food was really astonishing."

Navarra: Spain's Next Great Food Scene
At La Olla, a warmly lit tavern, you might see well-coiffed women of a certain age eating txangurro, a delicate crab gratin, or groups of businessmen from one of the local automobile manufacturing headquarters making deals over Navarran tomatoes topped with preserved tuna, followed by braised oxtail and bottles of Garnacha. Here, as at most places, we were the only foreign visitors.
