Iruñazarra, Restaurant in Pamplona, Spain
Iruñazarra is a restaurant on Calle Mercaderes, in the center of Pamplona, Spain. It has a bar area with pintxos and a separate dining room where guests can order from a full menu.
The restaurant has been part of Pamplona's dining scene for many years, rooted in the old center of the city. It went through a renovation in recent years, keeping its traditional approach while updating the space.
The name Iruñazarra comes from Basque and roughly means "old Pamplona". Inside, a pintxos bar runs alongside a sit-down dining room, which reflects the way people in the city move between quick bites and full meals throughout the day.
Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends or during busy lunch and dinner hours. The restaurant works equally well for a quick stop at the bar or a longer sit-down meal in the dining room.
The bar clearly marks which pintxos are gluten-free, which is not common at most tapas counters. This makes it easy for people with intolerances to graze through the selection without having to ask at every step.
