Review Summary

Across the reviews, Pintxo is praised for well executed dishes and attentive service, with highlights including octopus, lamb, scallops, and calamari, and a strong wine list that complements the tapas. Diners describe a vibrant, authentic Spanish vibe and consistently good value, with meals that feel creative, flavorful, and well presented thanks to fresh ingredients. The menu is often noted as delicious and satisfying, and many guests say they would gladly return, sometimes for a lunch before travel or a lively dinner. A few caveats appear about portions that feel small for the price, occasional inconsistency in flavor, and a noisy ambiance at times, with some comments on hygiene in a particular visit. Overall Pintxo comes across as a memorable tapas destination that delivers tasty food, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression on guests.

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.
