“ A truly excellent experience! I had high expectations for the place, and they were right. It's best to book in advance, but we didn't. Thankfully, the waiter set up a table for us, and we're very grateful, as we discovered a perfect spot for lunch/dinner. We'll definitely be back! They have a small children's playground. We ordered... - Tomato and anchovy salad (the anchovies were amazing!) - Rice with lobster - Goxua (a Basque dessert) Everything was delicious. ”

“ This is our third time at this restaurant. It's not cheap, but you have to pay for quality. The lobster salad is a must-order; it's always a staple on our menu. They grill all kinds of meat, and they're incredibly tender, melting in your mouth. The fish is also top-notch. The desserts are very good, and they innovate with some flavors, though you'll also find things you'd find elsewhere. The stuffed French toast is highly recommended. The service is splendid. I still wonder how they manage it, since they only have one or two people at a time taking orders, but everything is orchestrated beautifully—a 10 out of 10. If I had to find a fault, the parking area is small, although I have to say that out of the three times we've been, I haven't had any trouble parking. ”

“ It's been a while since I've been there, and the truth is, it's still worth a visit (just 15 minutes from Pamplona) for the quality of the produce and its local cuisine. It's important to make a reservation, as it's not cheap. Today we only ate off-menu dishes: crystal peppers with jowls, mushrooms with foie gras, Orio-style monkfish, roast beef, and a couple of homemade desserts: curd and pantxineta (photo attached). Coffee and Navarrese white wine, Pagos de Cirsus Chardonnay. Friendly and professional service. Pleasant, local atmosphere. ”

“ The best we've had in a long time. We're big eaters and have been to many places. I assure you, the baked wild turbot is delicious, the lobster salad is incredible, the sirloin with foie gras, the grilled octopus is a true luxury... I can say the same about every dish we've ordered. It's 15/20 meters from Pamplona, ​​the road is good, and it's worth trying. It's a bit pricey (we paid 70 euros each), but considering what we ate... we were happy to pay. The service was fast and very attentive. If I had to find a fault, it's that the acoustics aren't too good when it's full. ”
