Cafe Bar Gaucho

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bar Gaucho is Pamplona at its best, buzzing atmosphere, quick and friendly service, and pintxos worth crossing the city for. The huevo trufado is rich, creamy, and decadent, while the grilled foie gras is perfectly seared and melts in your mouth. Grab a spot at the bar, order a few at a time, and enjoy the chaos.

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.

service was good and friendly , regardless of the preasure placed by the amount of people placing orders. the food was outstanding, and the wine suggestion was proper. However I was surprised that food was warmed up in a microwave oven,.specialy that some of the pintxos could be eaten at room temperature. another option would be a salamander to heat some.of the food, but over all , it is a highly recomended culinary experience. the bet time is to.get there a mid day food has just been prepared and there are not many people, or around 7pm.,.

Walking into Bar Gaucho is like entering a tapas cathedral where every bite feels both lovingly traditional and freshly bold. The staff are fantastic, filling your plate with confidence and flair as if they know exactly which pintxos will make your heart skip. What I had: Grilled foie gras on toast, creamy, smoky and unapologetically luxurious. The truffled egg pintxo, rich, silky and blessed with gentle truffle perfume. Cod in a basket with egg, croquettes, a lasagna style tuna layer and a truffle infused mousse, each plate a surprise and each flavour hitting exactly where it should. Wine and vermouth that feel effortlessly local, glasses that slide into your evening like old friends. The atmosphere is unpretentious, warm and buzzing with energy. It is a place where curiosity invites the best flavours and every dish feels like a high five to your taste buds. Bar Gaucho is not just a go to, it is a heart stealer.
