"Very good coffee and cheese cake. Coffee is not easy to find on this street"
Tami Dassa - Todress
"Terrible service, grumpy with each other and very very slow. Not particularly busy just slow and annoyed about everything apparently. Nothing wrong with the food, almost worth waiting for!"

8 Logroño Pintxos Bars You’ll Want to Fly For
Had it not been for a winning scratch off card, then we probably would have missed this place. I’m not sure if they do it only on PinChato Thursdays, but we were given scratch off cards at one bar after our bill reached a certain amount. One of the cards entitled us to a free pintxo here at Letras de Laurel, which turned out to be another TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence awardee with a 4.5 star rating.

Restaurants in Logrono
We're also big fans of the “lollipop of Iberian sirloin with mushroom sauce” at Letras de Laurel, Calle Laurel, 22. Attracting a slightly more mature crowd, Calle San Juan is a street equally packed with bars offering delicious pintxos. Here you are spoiled for choice, but Bar Samaray (on the street’s intersection with the Travesia San Juan) does a tasty cod frito and plenty more, too.
How to Do a Pinchos Crawl in Logrono Spain
This bar has a specialty called Piruleta de solomillo ibérico. It’s a pork lollipop wrapped in iberico and grilled, with a mushroom sauce on top. It’s not my favorite pincho on the block, but it’s certainly one of the most famous and therefore is required eating.
