Comimos en el Bar Gaucho y la experiencia fue fantástica. Estaba lleno de gente, lo que ya es una buena señal, y aun así el servicio fue rápido, amable y muy atento. Todo lo que probamos estaba realmente delicioso, con una calidad excelente y una presentación cuidada. Se nota que es un lugar muy querido y con razón: la combinación de buen ambiente, tapas espectaculares y atención cercana hacen que quieras volver sin dudarlo.

He vuelto a ir a este sitio (intento ir siempre que voy a Pamplona). Dispone de barra, mesas dentro y mesas altas en la calle. Como siempre, bastante gente y las mesas ocupadas aunque por suerte el movimiento de clientes es bastante y van quedando mesas libres. También se puede disfrutar en la barra. Las tapas son maravillosas; a destacar, entre otras el foie y la crema de setas con huevo poché.

Famoso bar en la zona central de Pamplona cerca de la plaza del castillo. Dispone de mesas altas en terraza y algunas mesas en interior. Especializado en pinchos especiales o tambien llamados pinchos de autor. Gran calidad de productos bien elaborados y bien presentados. Anchoas, bacalao, anguila, atun, carrillera, changurro, champiñones, morcilla, ajoarriero, esturion, .... Fritos, tortillas, ... Para todos los gustos y para todos los dusfrutes. Entre 3 y 5€ segun la especializacion. Calidad precio bien. Dispone tambioen de buena y variada bodega.

Pues ahora entiendo porque es uno de los imprescindibles. Los pinchos buenísimos y mucha variedad. Hemos probado famoso el huevo trufado y el crujiente de pato. ¡Delicioso! Siempre lleno el local y hay que tener suerte para pillar una mesa en la calle (nosotros la hemos tenido). Para volver, totalmente recomendable

Great spot great truffle eggs really good lasagna. I’m pissed. I didn’t see they have foie gras so I’m going back tomorrow. Great wine great service lots of selections but get there before 6 PM before the floodgates come in and this place becomes a concert at Hall. It gets jampacked rightfully so. Went back 3 times the Foie Gras is amazing. Definitely recommend it.

Great vibes, great pintxos, great time. 🤩 Café Bar Gaucho is one of those places that makes you understand why pintxos are such a big deal in Pamplona. The variety is amazing and everything we tried was delicious: the poached egg with mushroom truffle sauce, the octopus, the stuffed sea urchin, the beef… and our absolute favorite, the foie gras pintxo — so good we had it twice!😋 The place gets packed, so going early is the best way to get a table. You can also stand at the bar or grab one of the high tables outside. Even if there’s a queue, I think it’s totally worth the wait. Honestly, the lively atmosphere is part of the charm, perfect for enjoying with friends and drinks. The staff is super fast and friendly, keeping everything moving smoothly even when it’s crowded. For me, it’s an easy 5 stars in the pintxos bar category — fun, tasty, and one of the must-visit spots in Pamplona.

Excellent tapas, fun and lively ambience.

Awesome place for pintxos and drinks. They have items from the kitchen not displayed in the counter as well. The mushroom/egg/stick fries item looks/sounds so weird but OMG one of the best egg dishes i have had. Practically right off the bull run path. The lady doesnt speak much english but she tries and makes a great experience.

Excellent food. Mediocre service. Terrible atmosphere. Always noisy and crowded. BUT STILL WORTH A TRY.

Amazing food and great vibe where many locals gather. Love the foie gras toast and sea urchin, the octopus is really fresh with a creamy sauce. The cod in tomato salad is also a must try. The food was so good that I forgot to take photos for many dishes. The Rojo beer is an amber beer that goes really well with the dishes. Can also try the Rioja wines for pairing. It may get crowded later in the evening, best is to go around 6 or 7pm before the crowd gathers.

Famous for its authenticity, fabulous pintxos and great coffee, this place does not disappoint! Friendly vibes from the personnel. Good spots outside (high chairs) to enjoy a tasty bite in the shade.

A Hidden Gem You Don't Want to Miss Stopped in for lunch with our Odysseys Unlimited tour guide and now good friend, Juan. He promised it would be incredible—and he wasn’t wrong. Our meals were absolutely outstanding. I had the best foie gras I’ve ever tasted—rich, buttery, and perfectly prepared. The sea urchin and soft eggs with wild mushrooms were an unexpected delight, beautifully balanced and full of flavor. All of it was made even better with a couple of cold beers on the side. Pure magic. This spot is one of those local treasures that feels like a secret, but it deserves to be shared. Don’t miss out on these unforgettable bites if you’re in the area. Bonus moment: I spotted #Lenny_Kravitz in town. Hope he noticed me too! 😆 I didn’t have time to catch his concert, but hey—this was a pretty cool consolation prize. And if you’re thinking about a tour through Portugal and Spain, definitely book with Odysseys Unlimited and request Juan as your guide. Trust me, he’ll make the trip unforgettable.

I have been here several times and it is always very good. They serve a white fish in an awesome marinara sauce. The bread is excellent and you can dip it in the sauce. Their tapas are the best in town and they have a wide variety.

It is one of the oldest pintxo places in town. Small but comfortable inside with table and chair outside too. It is popular and usually gets very crowded. Prices are ok, service can be a bit slow, but the food is tasty.

We were recommended this place and it didn't disappoint. A friendly, authentic and historic bar you have to try. We had the "huevo" (egg), the bar's signature Pinxto. It was awesome. A tasty, creamy soupy sauce with egg and truffle flavour, topped with crispy chips. A real treat.

Petra Mrvová

Great for quick pinchos (tapas). Pretty small and crowded in the evenings, but worth the visit. I recommend their tortilla with onion, pato de crujiente (mashed duck in a pastry), croqueta de pollo (chicken crocket), foie gras (you have to ask for the last two!)

This place is awesome! Tried twice to get in yesterday to get a seat to sit and enjoy a bite. Managed today and came early at midday. I managed to get a table and had a lovely and much needed coffee. Also had a pork meatball - that was light and deliciously balanced in a piquant sauce slightly spicy to offset the richness of the pork. Also had their most delicious Vermut. Home made and they call it Vermouth Polvori. Absolutely delicious and less sweet than others I had across the Basque region. If you’re in Pamplona - find a way to get here. It’s well worth a stop.

Super traditional pinxos bar in Pamplona, just off the main square. Go up to the counter, speak to the server, order what you want, and go sit. This time I had the pulpo and the txitorra with a beer. The whole thing cost me under €10 and was delicious.

We found the restaurant by chance while exploring city of Pamplona. We were surprised by the wide range of typical Spanish snacks and the excellent and friendly service. We tried different pintxos. All dishes were perfectly prepared. Spanish beer went perfectly with the dishes. 👍

Every. Single. Thing. Was amazing!! Service during busy times is like a circus, with shouting and three people deep at the bar, but amazing to watch! Order a few things when you can order otherwise you’ll be waiting a while again. The second time we went it was much calmer (off time of 4 pm) and it was delightful. I could see all the options. The truffle was delicious!! Definitely will not be disappointed if you go, and I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m passing through Pamplona… or maybe I’ll just move here…

Paseando por Pamplona quisimos probar este que nOs habían hablado muy bien, probamos el mítico pintxo de Foie a la plancha, que estaba BRUTAL, luego el vasito de crema de setas con aceite de trufa con patatas paja, huevo poche y crujiente de jamon por encima Buena atención y calidad precio buena Fuimos cuando eran fiestas (San Fermín chico) y está a reventar

Bar de pintxos clásico de Pamplona ubicado al lado de la plaza El Castillo. El local no es muy grande, disponiendo en su interior de unas pocas mesas, pero tiene pero tiene terraza exterior que bordea el mismo recinto con mas mesas. Premiado en varias ocasiones invita a ir para probar sus famosos pintxos...Entre los más destacados el de foie, erizo y huevo trufado. Todos ellos muy buenos. A pesar de estar lleno, especialmente en fin de semana, el equipo de camareros es rápido.

Llegamos sobre las 15:30 h pero no cierran. Aún había bastante pincho donde elegir. Había mucha gente pero enseguida quedó una mesa libre. El personal muy rápido en servir. Los pinchos que probamos estaban muy buenos.

Fuimos un grupo de amigas a tomar unos vinos y varios pinchos, y en general la experiencia fue muy buena. Todo lo que pedimos estaba rico y el ambiente es fantástico. Como única nota constructiva, el pincho de huevo trufado con patatas paja nos pareció que tenía un sabor muy intenso a aroma sintético más que a trufa real. Aun así, es un sitio de parada obligatoria en Pamplona por su calidad.

Siempre está muy concurrido. Los pinchos están muy bien, y es muy bar con mucho ambiente. El huevo trufado nos gustó especialmente y la croquetas de chistorra. Se puede comer o tomar algo en el interior o en las mesas de la terraza. La atención es amable

Visited this place a few weeks ago with some friends, it’s was recommended by many must-visit Pamplona lists on the internet. It was good but it didn’t blow my mind. Food is good, but nothing stood out for my taste. The best thing was their chistorra croquet! If you want to have a couple of beers and a quick bite with some friends I would recommend it.

Por la cantidad de gente que hay sigue siendo unos de los lugares de referencia de Pamplona, pero he de decir que mi experiencia no ha sido satisfactoria. He estado yendo a este lugar en varias ocasiones y siempre me ha encantado pero la última vez que fui ya me pareció que la calidad había bajado un poco. He vuelto a ir para darle otra oportunidad pero la cosa sigue igual. No hay innovación en los pincho pero además el que antes bordaban, el de foie, ahora no destaca demasiado, los que yo pedí estaban crudos pero además es como si no estubiera bien limpio y quedan unas hebras que no recuerdo que anteriormente fuera así.

Very disappointed with the quality of the “pinchos” at El Gaucho Bar in Pamplona. It didn’t taste fresh at all. Some were more stale than others. They were all microwaved but were cold in the center.…
