Restaurant
Borda Berri
Hot, slow-cooked pintxos that locals queue out the door for.
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
A standing-only bar on the Old Town's busiest pintxo street, devoted entirely to hot dishes cooked to order. The ox-cheek braised in red wine collapses under a fork, the crispy pig's ear shatters like glass, and the kuxkurum mushroom risotto has its own cult. No display counter, just a chalkboard and a kitchen working flat out.
Editor's Tip
The carrillera (ox cheek) and the orejas de cerdo (pig's ears) are the must-orders; come early evening before the crush.
