Upstairs is a delightful restaurant that's a favorite with locals. The service here is impeccable and the food was fabulous. We started with a grilled vegetable plate -- vegetables are hard to find in Spain in October! We also enjoyed the classic Spanish meal of grilled steak and potatoes. Our waitress recommended a very nice rioja, the wine of the region. That was superb too! We're not normally dessert eaters, but we wanted to extend this lovely experience so we ordered the waitress' suggestion of a chocolate dessert with cafe con leche.

The wine list is impressive. The selection of steak is good to look at, but I left knowing I could have done better on the Braai ( look it up).

The owner was there sitting on the table in front. You come here for their meat. It's hand cut and brought to your table before cooking on the fire. There's a large fat cap, which adds to the flavor. It's the perfect combination of beefy flavor and tenderness and they cook it to perfection, almost rare. It's a flavor of meat you won't find anywhere except this area. Their chanterelle mushrooms with egg yolk was delicious, as well as their asparagus with cheese sauce. I don't know how they got the asparagus to taste so good and sweet, we had to order another one. They also have a selection of wine and make delicious cocktails too. If you are in San Sebastián, this place is definitely a must try. Service was outstanding as well.

El Duende was pretty busy when we arrived the only table available was all the way in the back next to the bathrooms, we just took it since we were really hungry and tired after hiking all day and trying to find a place to eat in the thunderstorm. Service was kind of slow because we were seated in such an inauspicious location. Both ordered the 3 entree daily special where you can pick each course out of 5 choices. I think that I was successful in all of the items I picked and my SO was unsuccessful. My dishes: salad with avocado and anchovies, grilled lamb and vegetables, and fruit salad SO's dishes: something like a chicken enchilada for appetizer, grilled pork (it was tough), and a flan for dessert

Once inside this tiny brick house you will be seated by a table with table linen and lit candles. After hiking around 20 km in the beautiful Ordesa valley i could have eaten about anything however I paced myself and set of on a culinary journey consisting of a risotto with langoustine, halibut with vegetables and a cheese platter. Oh, please do not miss out on the warm chocolate creation with ice cream for dessert, splendid! I could hardy believe that the set price of this feast was just above 20 euros including bread, water and wine. We opted for another wine than the one included in the set menu and we were so delighted with the food, drinks and service after our dinner. Reservations are recommended since it´s a small and popular restaurant.

The waiter was overly helpful knowing that we could not read the Spanish menu, he gave suggestions and translations for us and was even happy to do it. What resulted was a beautiful 5 course meal that was so good we had to come back. We went a few times in the short time that we were in Pamplona and were not disappointed once. Great food, great staff!

When we tried to order it in English our waiter magically had no idea what spaghetti was. Instead we got a salad that was only ice burg lettuce and chicken that was just greasy french fries and gross ass chicken strips. Felt a bit discriminated against plus the other food was garbage. I'd look elsewhere.

If you don't speak any Spanish have Google translate ready. Not a lot of English spoken, but enough. You can always communicate to some degree. It's got an antigue hodge podge theming. Cute.

The tomato dishes were outstanding as was the Spanish jamon. The wait staff were engaged and fun to order from even with our rudimentary spanish. We had 2 sets of six tapas on our last visit, and I liked some more than others but fun to experiment with. There is a QR code to see an English menu but its largely in Spanish to be ready to use Translate or go with the flow and enjoy the stuff you like most and the ambience.
