Superlatively good food, excellent presentation and an unparalleled attention to detail.
Just amazing Cathedral. Catch it in the morning when the sun is behind the stained glass. Only place I've see that's more impressive is St. Peters.
At one point this was voted the best market in the world and I can certainly see why.
It could be because I've gone so long without but these are some of the best tacos I've had. Especially the carnitas.
The square in front of the Catedral is quite the happening place. I'd highly recommend spending some time both in and out.
Lovely Italian joint with reliable food, good service and a parade of street musicians to serenade you if you sit outside.
A very well appointed cafe with good music in the background and inexpensive drinks.
100 year old tapas establishment. Good food at great prices and a fun setting.
Nice setting with good food. Obviously the focus is on the ham but everything is good.
A very tiny place for wine and tapas. It's a great vibe with good food and reasonable prices. Very recommended.
Your standard bakery and sidewalk cafe. Good but nothing to knock your socks off.
A rustic building with modern amenities that have still managed to preserve its old world charm and a flat out killer view on the roof.
Quality varies greatly depending on the terminal you're in.
A very well appointed small chain of cafes that's also known for it's music. A very relaxing place to spend some time but expect to pay for it.
A terrifying cocktail bar. Don't bother asking for a menu because there isn't one. Although I found it odd... it is kind of a cool vibe.
A bar that specializes in, you guessed it, mezcal. This became a staple hang out for remotes. Try a mezcal flight.
Beer for 1 Euro, refills for 0.40. And burgers. Cultivating the college bar vibe but a little nicer than the ones I remember.
A very lovely patio to sit and people watch. Good, but not great, coffee. It's expensive but you're paying for the setting.
Seating on a quiet square with reasonable prices and simply but decently good food.
A pretty standard Irish Pub. ...not that I keep very close track but Guinness seemed cheaper than normal here as well.
Has kind of a touristy vice since it's on a main square but I loved the duck samosas.
It's forbidden to leave your turtles in the indoor lagoon...
I'm normally wary of extended stay type apartments but these are excellent. Modern, spotless, easy check in process and ample amenities. It is on the main square, though, so during fiestas...
It's on the main square of Haro so it does afford some pleasant people-watching. But so do a dozen other places right around the squre...
A slightly better option than Suizo for sitting on the main square of Haro. Still underwhelming, though.
A fun place where you are given a card and you can self-select wines to try from the machine. They also have small plates like charcuteries that you can have during your tasting. Novel for Haro.
I was a little leary going into this one but the food was surprisingly good and the little garden seating area is lovely.
Superb breakfast places. Known for its cakes so try and steer that way. Carrot cake pancakes? Yes.
Famed and established charcuterie place. A staple of food tours and worth a visit whether you find yourself there as part of one of those or independently.
I believe this is one of the longer continuously operating tapas places in town. Apparently it's particularly well known for its fried fish. But... fried sardines are not for me.
Another place worth checking out. They do their own vermouth which is kind of a thing around Barcelona.
The best tapas I had during my visit. Probably the best calamari I've ever had.
Such a fun experience. Learn to cook paella with plenty of wine and good music. Afterward you all gather to sample each others paellas.
It's an interesting gimmick but it's not very well executed. Or maybe it's just that the patrons end up too drink to care.
One of the prolific "Hemingway hangouts" around Europe. This place does have some real history behind it, though. Definitely worth getting their absinthe.
I believe this is part of a larger chain but I've really enjoyed everything I've sampled here and the staff at this location was particularly accommodating toward my beginning Spanish.
Absolutely zero frills, but a very friendly place to get away from the crowds and enjoy a beer or three.
Pretty standard cafe. Suitable for popping in for a drink but not a destination in its own right.
Decent italian place, probably quite good by Pamplona standards but relatively average over all.
One of the better meals on the price-quality spectrum that I had while in Pamplona. Among my party we tried both the duck and the entrecot. The entrecot was better but both were good.
Stopped here as part of a walking tour to try some local dishes so we didn't get the full vibe but I still thought the bites and the service were both good.
Service was excellent and the setting was lovely, but I was underwhelmed by the food. We came during San Fermin so maybe we didn't get the full Michelin experience.
Come here for drinks and the setting up on the walls overlooking the surrounding countryside. The other elements are forgettable.
Pretty decent smash burger. Not as good as you'd get in America but, hey...
It's a nice setting and decent enough food but I guess if you're wanting paella you should stick to Catalunya.
Yeah it's a tourist trap so the quality is average and the service is harried but the interior is pretty and it's right on the main square so you should still stop in.
Probably the best meal I've had in Pamplona and that includes those with Michelin stars. They make their own pasta so choose one of those.
