Casa Otano
There are two kinds of great eating in Pamplona. The innovative Basque chefs of Alhambra and Europa prepare gorgeous avant-garde food at reasonable prices, making this city one of the better dining cities in Spain. But there’s an equally appealing, far more casual style of Navarrese cooking that pops up in old-fashioned taverns like Casa Otano. For great spit-roasted meats, grilled octopus, or roast suckling lamb ribs, grab a table in this upstairs dining room. Casa Otano has been a local favorite since the 1950s, and is likely to remain so.
