The Pintxo Trail – HOSTERIA DEL TEMPLE

HOSTERIA DEL TEMPLE

Curia, 3 (Old Town)
Tel.: 948 22 51 71

The Hostería del Temple oozes class. It was restored and renovated in 1965 by Mercedes Santacruz and Luis Fernández, from the Tierra Estella region, lovers of the tales of Knights Templar, hence the medieval decoration. Today, their children, Clara, Carlos, Ángel and Maite run the bar exactly as it was in their parents’ time. On the culinary side, the Hostería del Temple serves homemade cuisine with seasonal ingredients (perretxiko mushrooms in spring, game in winter, seasonal vegetables, etc.) and traditional options such as sweetbreads, stuffed baby squid, pig’s trotters, tripe, stewed veal tail… their fritters are also enormously popular, made with the kind of excellent béchamel sauce your grandmother would make. The Temple serves lunch, weekend and group menus.
