A long-standing bar-restaurant on emblematic San Nicolás, Casa Otano works on two levels — a ground-floor pintxo bar for grazing and a traditional Navarran dining room upstairs for a proper sit-down meal. Its steady position around the top forty of Pamplona's crowded restaurant field reflects a kitchen that leans on local produce and classic recipes rather than trend-chasing, and a location that puts it in the thick of the old town's best street.

Graze pintxos at the bar, or go upstairs for the traditional Navarran menu — local produce, classic preparations. The dining room is the fuller experience.
Lunch for the dining room, or early evening for pintxos at the ground-floor counter. San Nicolás is buzzing throughout the evening service.
Two experiences under one roof — casual pintxo bar below, sit-down restaurant above. Central on San Nicolás, so it's an easy addition to any crawl whether you want a bite or a meal.
