One of the great attractions that, from my point of view, travel to Navarra is excellent gastronomy which you can enjoy.
It's not hard to find restaurants where you not only have a wide range of dishes with local products, with a wide variety of vegetables, and also well prepared.
If you are going to visit the Lumbier and Arbayún gorges, southeast of Pamplona, a highly recommended restaurant is Iru-bide, on the outskirts of the town of Lumbar, which I had the opportunity to visit in my recent trip to Navarra.
As you arrive at the restaurant it is easy to imagine that it is a good place to eat, since you will find its parking lot full of cars. He Iru-bide restaurant It is located in the building of a small hotel located in a strategic place to visit these lower valleys of the Navarrese Pyrenees.
La food from Iru-bide restaurant, as they say, effectively combines home cooking with elaborate preparation.
When choosing what to eat, at Iru-bide you find a wide fixed price menu, where on weekdays you can choose between 12 starters, 10 seconds and 9 desserts.
Thus, among the first you find dishes as suggestive as borage with potatoes and refried eels, crispy mushroom bag with poached egg and foie cream, fresh pasta with Camembert cream and Iberian shoulder, grilled wild asparagus with smoked salmon and nuts salad, and without missing the pochas with chorizo and bacon.
How many seconds do you have? pig's trotters with mushroom sauce, braised beef tail, duck hams with roast potatoes y Roasted rapito with baked potatoes. Among the desserts you have Caramelized brioche French toast with apple sorbet o Chocolate souffle with coffee ice cream.
El price of this menu from the Iru-Bide restaurant in Lumbier (2011), which includes bread and drinks, is 17,28 euros.
On weekends you have a menu with an even more suggestive range of dishes that includes, for example, lobster cannelloni with melted parmesan cheese, trout and green apple caviar: Iberian pork with sweet wine sauce, quince and cheese.
Yes, the weekend menu price it is 29,16 euros.
In sum, Iru-bide It is a highly recommended restaurant for taste Navarrese gastronomy.
Today we ate at Irubide in Lumbier. To take off your hat!! We all loved it. Highly recommended.
Ugh, this is really good food, what a pleasure.
Joy for the senses.
