On our recent trip to Barcelona our hotel recommended Euskal Etxea for pintxos. We had been disappointed not to find pintxos bars in the Bari Gotic area given the commercial changes to that area since our last trip 10 years ago. Euskal is in the Born area near the Picasso Museum. It was quite busy but we quickly got plates and beverages. The selection was limited but everything we tried was very good. The restaurant is quite small with counters around the perimeter and stools to enjoy your pintxos selections. The restaurant also has a small area in the back with tables where dinner is served.
After we finished enjoying we took our plates to the bar where our toothpicks were counted and we our bill was tallied. Each pintxos was 2.10€.
If you are looking for traditional pintxos I'd recommend trying this place.
This has to be one of my favorite Barcelona restaurants! I was giving up on finding good food/tapas that was not deep-fried.
Its Basque food. Love the small pieces of food with toothpicks. You go up to the counter and pick up what you want and they charge you per toothpick - about 2€ per pintxos.
The waiter will also come by at your table every five minutes with a new offering.
It's really good food and an amazing experience a must visit when you're in Barcelona!
My total bill with about 8 pieces, 2 beers and desert came to 26€
Super friendly and attentive staff.
Pintxos, pintxos, pintxos!
Swung by Euskal Etxea for a quick snack while sightseeing in Barcelona. It's an ideal spot to take a break from all the walking, and refuel with some bite sized snacks and coffee/beer. During lunch time the restaurant has an open front room with platters of pintxos and bar seating for folks to pick their bites. All ingredients were incredibly fresh, resting on a fluffy slice of baguette.
Next time in Barcelona I will definitely be stopping by again!
