Highlights
Pinchos, or “pintxos” as they are known in the Basque Country, are petite, yet elegantly crafted dishes. Think miniature sandwiches, delightful little-filled glasses, and intricate mini casserole dishes – a vibrant world of delectable snacks to enjoy. In Basque food culture, a pintxo bar is considered one of the most paramount establishments to both indulge in delicious food and cherish the company of loved ones.
Our team of chefs hail from illustrious culinary backgrounds, including the Michelin 3-star Azark and the Michelin-starred restaurant ‘La Bicicleta’ in Cantabria. Some have also honed their craft at prestigious locales like 'El Bar Mut', 'Taverna Hofmann', and 'Arroz'. Imagine learning from these Maestros of cuisine and sharing their secrets with your fellow foodies! Just picture the look on their faces as you serve up a delicious meal made with techniques you've mastered!
