But i was interested in a full dinner and at 25 euro for three courses including bread, water and wine, who could resist at the end of a long day. 15 minutes later I am still waiting for service. I flagged someone down and told her what i wanted and that i had been waiting. She said I just have to flag someone down like I did. LOL. Took a while to get anything and it was all fairly good and hot. Not their fault that only 2 servers in the whole floor. For he money it was fine Bo had mushroom risotto, sea bass with garlic sauce full of bones, ice cream for dessert. Go for the nostalgia.

We came for lunch the next day and it was more manageable. We bucked up and dove in. We learned that the drill is to find a table or bar space and order drinks, then peruse the tapa offerings along the bar. You pay when you've ordered the items you want. When you want more, you return to the bar, get more and pay. Tables are precious, but they do turn over so just be patient. The folks behind the bar get busy. If you speak Spanish, you can get their attention more easily. If not, don't be shy, signal you are ready to order. The staff is there to move customers, so be quick about decisions. They do understand and speak some English though there's not much chatting going on. This was some of the best tapas we've had on the the trip and we went to Madrid and San Sebastian. We just picked things that looked interesting not knowing what they were. Everything was delicious. Several items were creamy and rich like the crispy duck, crispy spinach and shrimp, and the sea urchin. The foie gras was cooked just enough to brown but still had plenty of melty richness. We had everything plus 4 beers for about $57. It's a great place and definitely worth a visit if you're in Pamplona.

We enjoyed a terrific dinner at this small restaurant in the heart of Pamplona. There's a busy bar…read moredownstairs with tapas and drinks. Upstairs is a delightful restaurant that's a favorite with locals. The service here is impeccable and the food was fabulous. We started with a grilled vegetable plate -- vegetables are hard to find in Spain in October! We also enjoyed the classic Spanish meal of grilled steak and potatoes. Our waitress recommended a very nice rioja, the wine of the region. That was superb too! We're not normally dessert eaters, but we wanted to extend this lovely experience so we ordered the waitress' suggestion of a chocolate dessert with cafe con leche.

Really delicious pulpo a la plancha. We ordered two! Good service, and yummy desserts.read more
