Raíces — Restaurant in Pamplona

Was walking towards the Cathedral around 1:30pm when I found this cozy, local joint. The owner was helpful to cater for my challenging diet for Spain-standard (vegetarian, no allium). There are only 2 items he can make for me - hummus or stir fry quinoa. I choose the quinoa.

English is not spoken here, but owner is friendly and combined with Google translate - all is well!

The fried quinoa was served with a side of wholemeal bread (complimentary). The quinoa was delicious - it was fried with mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, carrots. I could have used more quantity as I was so hungry :) but the bread helps to top it up. Total damage was 10.70 euro for the quinoa and a glass of peach juice (fyi, they fill it to half cup only).

Good, simple food, with LOTS of vegitables nicely prepared. Complete wheelchair accessible including their toilets.

I was despairing of getting a meal that included vegetables in Northern Spain. It astonishes me, that in a country with such fabulous produce, this seems absent in any meaningful quantities from most restaraunt menus.

Not so at Raices, they serve wonderful, fresh food in sensible quantities.

Don't miss their humus,...
