Restaurante Anttonenea — Restaurant in Pamplona

This is a lovely restaurant at Pamplona city center, at the entrance of the center and easily accessible, directly from the stop of bus number 4. The entrance gives and impression that the place is small , however, the seating area is on the first floor while the ground floor is were the kitchen is in addition to a small bar. Food wise, this was an excellent choice for us. The appetizers were fresh , portions were generous and the flavors are exquisite . They also got us two complimentary plates , olives 🫒 and special croquetas of queso and pera with sourdough bread ! The aged meat T-bone chuletón was perfect . They brought us a hot stone to cook it further to our liking since Spanish chefs always bring it rare to medium rare . We have ordered also the lechal lamb shoulder which was extra tender and juicy. The good thing about the chuletón is that you could order it by weight ! We ordered the 1.3 kg which is a generous potion for 2-3 persons. Potato and salad came for free with the order. We were four and ended paying 42 euros per person, which is not expensive for the quality of food and service. We have not tried the sea food or postres this visit , but it is for sure worth a second trip. The coffee con leche was rich, but I like it more hot than how I received it .

The camarera was super nice , she explained the menu very well and asked about food allergies and restrictions. Reservations are encouraged on weekend, especially for the near...

Amazing lunch here yesterday… tables for one (walk in) are not normally welcome but they made room for me (a table for 4 just for me) even though they had lots of bookings (I got the last table in fact). The quality of attention and service was… well… amazing, utterly charming, made me feel truly welcome. Then came the food… from the olives (in their homemade marinade) and the ‘gift’ apero (croqueta de gambas with a citrus infused mayonnaise), by way of alcachofas confitadas lightly grilled and with foam of lemon and chopped spring onions and a couple of plump delicately steamed mussels, to the fish of the day, lomo de bonito a la parilla, cooked to perfection, sliced potatoes (lightly roasted) and a delicate citrusy sauce on the side and ending with a spectacular thin apple tart with Idiazabal icecream with membrillo… fabulous! Shame I am here for only a couple of days! Will try and go back for lunch on my last day. Highly...

We arrived in Pamplona around 22:00 and checked which restaurants were open late. This one said it was open until 00:30, so we walked 1.3km from our hotel to get there (as we didn't know if it would be easy to park nearby). We got there around 22:45, which was 1:45 before the closing time on GoogleMaps. The road is the dirtiest I have ever seen in Europe, absolutely disgusting. When we entered the restaurant it looked like we were entering through some kind of service entrance, there were coffee cups and used napkins everywhere. When we finally found someone, the very rude waitresses told us they were closed and turned their backs on us, not bothering with a group that had just walked there a lot, wasting valuable time we needed to find an open restaurant (which we did) because they don't care about the opening times they publish...
