• Kabo★ Michelin This pleasant, contemporary-style restaurant run by a couple takes its name from the Masai word for “butterfly” and sums up its working philosophy in a sentence visible above the bell in the kitchen: “Pursue a dream big enough never to lose sight of”. On its single, contemporary-inspired tasting menu, the focus is firmly anchored on the cuisine of the Navarra region that showcases seasonal ingredients, its unconditional love for its land, and the championing of small-scale local producers. Dishes worth exploring here include the dish featuring onions from La Mejana, with an accompanying broth,1.4km
• Europa★ Michelin The Europa restaurant stands in the heart of Pamplona, very close to the Plaza del Castillo and the legendary Calle Estafeta, a world-famous street due to its association with the San Fermín running of the bulls festival. The Idoate Vidaurre family in charge here is almost as well known as the restaurant itself, thanks to its team of siblings for whom the art of hospitality is much more than just a profession. In the kitchen, chef Pilar Idoate creates an updated take on traditional cuisine with strong roots in Basque cooking. This is enhanced by top-quality ingredients that showcase the provin1.6km
• Rodero★ Michelin There’s no better way to describe this restaurant than the chef’s assertion that “Rodero is a family and we try to make guests happy through our work, doing things well and with kindness”. Koldo Rodero was practically brought up in a kitchen and as a result recognised his vocation from an early age. His dream, to ensure that flavour is the core principle in his own cooking, is now a reality thanks to his vision of contemporary Navarran cuisine which is highly creative, intelligent and technical, and showcases his superb ability. Alongside his sisters, both of whom are in charge of the dining r2.0km
• El Merca'oBib Another Idoate family venture that has added an exciting new twist to Pamplona’s restaurant scene with this fun new premises on the corner of a market in the centre of town. It features a cutting-edge design, its own independent entrance and two distinct spaces: a modern lounge-bar serving highly elaborate “pinchos” that seek to take Basque tradition to a new level; and a dining room with low tables (choose between the à la carte and a menu) where diners can enjoy traditional cuisine with an Asian touch (we liked the Merca'o-style Ajoarriero with its fried egg). The natural light flooding in f2.0km
• Alhambra This restaurant, the younger sibling of the award-winning Europa, bears the quality stamp and DNA of the Idoate family, where the brother-and-sister team of Iñaki and Esther run the dining room. It also happens to be one of Pamplona’s classic dining addresses – the reason why it is often full with its regular and loyal customers. The à la carte (with the option of ordering “raciones” so that you can try different dishes) is complemented by two tasting menus. One of its most typical dishes is the cod “ajoarriero” with lobster.1.6km
• La Ideal Mar Located on the ground floor of a modern building close to the bullring, La Ideal Mar’s main focus is on the sea, as you’ll deduce from its name. Chef Andrés Conde has returned home after a long stint working in kitchens around the world (France, USA, Peru, South Africa, Dubai, etc) to offer locals his relaxed, traditional style of cuisine with the occasional contemporary touch. On the menu you’ll find oysters, oven-baked fish sourced directly from the market, a superb seafood stew, an extensive array of rice dishes (for two people), plus a couple of meat options. The glass-fronted kitchen over2.0km
• Picaflor Just a stone’s throw from the Ensanche Market, this restaurant is run with enthusiasm and professionalism by young chef Pilar Arellano, who manages to conquer diners’ palates by cooking like at home. Behind the name Picaflor hides a nod to the hummingbird, a tiny bird that is tremendously selective when it comes to the nectar of the flowers it consumes. Within the simple menu, faithful to the Navarrese tradition and with vegetables taking centre stage (her family has a vegetable garden in Corella), you will find dishes such as fresh roasted sausage with rosemary or meatballs in grandmother's s2.1km
• La Bankada La Bankada is situated close to the market in the Ensanche district of the city, where it boasts a relaxed, easy-going ambience enhanced by its three outgoing owners. It is particularly popular with a local clientele attracted to dishes such as the Russian salad (ensaladilla), the ever-in-demand tacos, and the delicious potato omelette with free-range eggs. Unsurprising, La Bankada is always full.2.2km
