Café Iruña

Café Iruña Review

The Iruña (Pamplona in Euskera), an essential Bilbao haunt on the Ensanche's most popular garden and square, Los Jardines de Albia, is famous for its decor and its boisterous ambience. The neo-Mudéjar dining room overlooking the square is the place to be (if they try to stuff you in the back dining room, resist or come back another time). The bar has two distinct sections: the elegant side near the dining room, and the older, more bare-bones Spanish side on the Calle Berástegui, with its plain marble counters and pinchos morunos de carne de cordero (lamb brochettes) as the house specialty.
