The Pintxo Trail – MO

MÔ

Espoz y Mina, 11 (Old Town)
Tel.: +34 639 38 68 86

 

After a long career in different establishments, including  winners of prestigious awards such as 1st Prize at the Basque Pintxo Championship and the ‘Lo Mejor de la Gastronomía’ for best pintxo and tapa bar in 2008, in early 2011 Jaime Legarra Sábada took over the reins at the legendary Monasterio, a bar with over 70 years of history, which he turned in to the Mô, a space where this creative chef from Irurtzun can let his imagination run free to create some of Pamplona’s most cutting-edge pintxos. In the small but well-proportioned bar, Legarra serves miniature cuisine with the accent on local produce (salt cod, borage, asparagus, artichokes, peppers, eggs, etc.). However, it is the modern, elaborate and visually striking culinary techniques and presentations that quite clearly set this locale apart from the others.
