La Mandarra de la Ramos
Slap-bang in the lively cauldron that is Calle San Nicolás—Pamplona’s party street—this local favorite merits a stop on everyone’s night out. Fifty huge Huelva hams hang from the beamed ceiling, giving a clue as to what might feature heavily in the bar counter’s delicacies—you’ll find ham mixed with scrambled egg, topped with seasonal mushrooms, decorated with red peppers. The pintxos here are not only tasty, but much bigger than those elsewhere—a couple might suffice for an evening repast. Tables at the rear welcome diners looking for full meals, which will include octopus or steak, cooked simply. At times the food ticks the “hearty” and “filling” boxes, rather than the “sophisticated” one. Do take time out to admire the floor, with its impressive bull-running decor.
