Ganbara
A Michelin-recommended family bar in the Old Town opened in 1984, famous for its seasonal wild mushrooms and fresh seafood.
Opened in 1984 and run by the Otazur family, this classic bar is featured in the Michelin Guide. While the glass cases on the counter are filled with fresh cold pintxos, the star of the show is the seasonal wild mushrooms served with a raw egg yolk—especially worth ordering during wild mushroom season. Seafood like crab tarts, red prawns, and goose barnacles are also highly popular. There is a quieter dining room in the basement, though queues are common. It is pricier than typical pintxos bars, with a portion of seasonal mushrooms costing around €21, and average spend ranging from €20 to €70; feel free to ask about seasonal specials and prices before ordering. Located at Calle San Jerónimo 21 in the Old Town.
