Restaurant
Casa Urola
A 1956 classic where the bar counter rivals the kitchen.
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Founded in 1956 and revived by chef Pablo Loureiro, Casa Urola pairs a serious upstairs restaurant with one of the most refined pintxo counters in the Old Town. Seasonal, technically precise bites line the bar, with à la carte tapas alongside. It is the choice when you want the pintxo experience with a bit more polish.
Editor's Tip
Eat the pintxos standing at the ground-floor bar; the upstairs dining room is a separate, more formal proposition.
