"Tourists wth a dog:
It was good to find somewhere we could keep warm on a very cold day. Cheerful and competent service from Mel, who also offered water for our dog. The food was tasty and there was plenty of it. Excellent value for money."
Carol Allen
"Worst steak I’ve ever eaten. I eat a lot of steak, but I can’t remember any steak that was worse. It was extremely chewy and tasteless. The chips were sad and old. The roasted peppers were nice though, hence the 1 star for food. Service was decent and nice atmosphere."

"Absolutely awful. Have been to Spain several times. Easily the worst meal ever. Somehow they managed to stuff up a pork dish in Spain. It was undercooked, with some pieces raw, as well as tough & stringy, full of gristle. It was returned reheated with no offer of a discount, etc. Our mistake, being in a hurry, we went against our better judgement & ate in the plaza. They weren't even busy at the time. Would have scored them a zero, if zero was an option."

Top 5 Gluten-Free Bread Spots to Enjoy in Pamplona
The day before yesterday, Wednesday, I had a sandwich for dinner there and ordered another one to take away. I made it clear that the sandwiches had to be gluten-FREE and the one for dinner was but the one I took to go was not.
