Bar Gaucho
Café Bar Gaucho
A famous pintxos bar opened in 1968, renowned for its signature truffle egg, located between Plaza del Castillo and Calle Estafeta.
Located in the passageway connecting Plaza del Castillo and Calle Estafeta, this bar opened in 1968 and is famous for its award-winning, creative takes on Navarrese cuisine. The signature dish is the truffle egg served in a glass—a soft-boiled egg with truffle mushroom sauce and shoestring fries, priced at around €4.70. The foie gras toast is around €6.50, and the sea urchin is also highly recommended. Most pintxos cost between €3 and €5. Reservations are not accepted, and the bar is often packed, so it is best to arrive just before peak hours to enjoy the pintxos freshly made. Closed on Tuesdays.
