Our verdict

Tavern that has been pleasing diners for more than four decades. Every dish pays homage to traditional Riojan cuisine: vegetable stew, artichokes with ham, Rioja-style cod, roast kid and vine-smoked chops are just some of the options to choose from. Lovingly prepared seasonal ingredients sourced locally. Large rustic dining rooms and a quaint wine cellar. Víctor and Carlos treat you like one of the family.

Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app, where members save venues, book tables and use the concierge.
