Best Spanish Restaurants in Pamplona
This restaurant in Pamplona offers fabulous local traditional cuisine in one of the most centric streets of Old Town Pamplona. Opened in 1913 Casa Otano (also an inn) has evolved with time, perfecting its cookery and after so many years it still remains a family business, which assures a friendly and warm treatment that will make you feel at home. We recommend the "Itxaso-lur" brochette (chicken, cuttlefish, mushrooms, prawns and asparagus), the cod and green pepper tortilla.

If you're a late eater, try the rustic Casa Otano on 5 San Nicolas, a popular, two-story restaurant in the Casco Viejo, just off the Plaza del Castillo. Here you can enjoy a bowl of steaming red beans thick with carrots, cauliflower, and pork rind (sometimes with a few bristles intact), and baked merluza (hake) with a sauce of garlic and onions.
