Review Summary

Reviews describe Pintxo as a warmly welcoming tapas spot with attentive service and a lively, authentic vibe, where a creative, well presented menu features standout dishes like octopus, lamb, scallops, and haloumi salad, and where the wine selection is praised and prices are often described as good value for the quality; dietary restrictions are handled with care, and many feel the experience is memorable and worth returning for, though some notes mention small portions for the price, occasional saltiness in a dish, and a few visits where ambience or cleanliness raised questions.

Great experience at Pintxo Tapas Bar.

The red wine & cocktail were excellent, the octopus & lamb were flavorful & perfectly cooked, & the service was great.

Definitely coming back.

Bon bar à tapas avec du wine pairing.
Les serveur.ses sont accueillant.e.s, la nourriture est correcte & à un bon prix (c' est assez rare pour le mentionner). On a pris le poulpe (bien présenté, bien cuit) & les calamars frits avec 2 cocktails.

Le bémol reste l'ambiance sur-bruyante du central (un mercredi soir sans festival, donc loin d'être le plus bruyant), qui fait que même à l'écart, le bruit reste très présent.

A surprising tapas bar in Le Central offered an exceptional degustation menu, paired with excellent wine. The service was remarkable, similar to an upscale restaurant. However, the portions were disappointingly small, leaving us to order additional food elsewhere to satisfy our hunger.

They offer great wine & drink options as well as a fun tapas menu. There are lots of great options for every taste. We had a great cava & a couple of the starters.

I really don't give out 5 stars that easily, trust me.
It's one of the best restaurant in town. The best ''foie gras au torchon'' ever tasted. Try it with the Strawberry & Pepper gazpacho.
One compliments the other.
Loved the beets & salmon tartare, the duck ravioli, the ragout of snails with mushrooms, the beef carpaccio, stuffed fig with serrano ham & the bison ribs. Haven't tried everything yet. Great ambience, beautiful wine list, perfect service. Nothing negative to say at all.

Je ne donne vraiment pas 5 étoiles si facilement, croyez-moi.
Ce restaurant est un des meilleurs en ville. Le meilleur foie gras au torchon jamais mangé. Il faut l'essayer avec la gazpacho fraise-poivrons. Un complimente l'autre.
Beaucoup aimé : le tartare de saumon avec betterave, le ravioli au canard, le ragoût d'escargots & de champignons, le carpacciao de boeuf, les figues farcies & les ribs de bison. & comme dessert, le gâteau au fromage ! Hmmmm !

Je n'ai pas encore tout essayé sur le menu même si j'y suis allée quelques fois, mais j'ai mes préférés, que je commande chaque fois. Ce n'est quand même pas donné. Environ 170$ pour 2 avec 3 verres de vin, environ 11 tapas & 2 desserts. Bonne ambiance, belle carte des vins, très bon choix au verre, service parfait. Rien de négatif à dire.
