"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 (one dish we particularly enjoyed was the grilled sea bass with a seafood cream). The natural light flooding in from the street is filtered by the countless bottles of wine that form part of the façade." - Michelin Inspector

El Mercao won the 2022 pintxo championship with their dish “Tubertxerri”. It looks like a truffle buried in soil, served in a wooden dish. The truffle is actually a fried Chinese bread filled with Thai-style pork shoulder. The soil is dried mushrooms and almond flour, and you dig the truffle out with the shovel.

I would rate 4 stars on food and 3 on service.  It seems that they change the menu weekly, since some last week  Instagram  post showing some dishes were not available.  One example of why I rate it 3 stars on service is that I asked for a Tuna Tataki, the waiter mention that they ran out of it and quickly continue with the next table.  He did not suggest any other option, nor give me time to ask.  A few minutes later  I called him to ask for other options as Tuna Tartare, which they had.

A little expensive 28€ menú del día, but it was worth the experience. Very attentive waiters, great food, nice vibe. I'd love to come back to try the other things on the menu (:

First of all the atmosphere is very nice it is a modern looking restaurant. Prices I would say a bit higher than moderate but the price quality racio is very good. Food is very delicious and quality. Evening menu is 36 euros including bread, wine and coffee. We went on with the Carta. Tuna tataki, carpaccio and Vietnamese spring roles was very delicious. And as dessert tiramisu which was quite good and abtype of cak other coconut ice cream. All recommended. Together with beer and water it is 64 euors.

Great place to eat. Very good quality and a great wine list. I ordered ‘fideuá’ and I loved it. We taste the white wine Orchidea and it was an excellent choice. The restaurant is quiet and very relaxed atmosphere.
