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.
