Background
About Gula Pintxosbar
The Story
Gula Pintxosbar opened in 2004 in the Barrio de la Estrella, a traditional local bringing together recipes from around Spain, always with wine alongside.
The Cuisine
Traditional Spanish cooking and pintxos with a Basque lean, from Arbizu txistorra and Gernika peppers to bacalao and grilled matured beef.
Tasting and group menus
The 2024 tasting menus cost €50 to €55 a head with draught beer, soft drinks and wine included. A typical one opens with hummus and Galician-style lacón, moves through starters such as dressed tomato with piparras, Arbizu txistorra with Gernika peppers and fried eggs with Iberian ham, then shares battered anchovies or hake and a boneless matured txuletón from the grill with baked potatoes, before desserts and coffee. A cocktail-style picoteo menu for events (€50) runs about two and a half hours with an open bar.
Dietary options
The menus include gluten-free, lactose-free and vegetarian options, and the room has step-free access.
