The best restaurants Estella-Lizarra

La Cepa restaurant is located on the first floor of a building in the Plaza de los Fueros, in a contemporary and intimate setting. It is the best place in the area to enjoy a copious and tasty "menu del día". A la carte, many of the region's specialities that honour indigenous products, such as cogollos de Tudela (a variety of lettuce), piquillos de Lodosa (peppers) or the famous Navarrese asparagus. Whether you're a meat or fish connoisseur, vegetarian or carnivore, salty or sweet, the Cepa has some good cards up its sleeve.

Here, the Navarrese culinary tradition is in the spotlight. In well garnished plates, enjoy stuffed asparagus, accompanied by cod or crayfish. Meat is also well represented, with deer, duck breast, lamb chops a la plancha or a beautiful entrecote steak with roquefort sauce on the menu. The desserts are rather tempting too, whether it is the fresh cheese mousse with raspberries and honey ice cream or the fig ice cream with coffee sauce. Simple cuisine, old-fashioned decor, good value for money.

The Navarra restaurant offers dinner in a typical Navarrese setting, where even the waiters are dressed in traditional costumes. On the menu: stuffed asparagus, hake Navarrese-style hake, braised pork or green beans... The menu is tempting and the plates are full, to be accompanied by good wine! The decoration plays the medieval card to the full, with carved wooden ceilings, heavy armchairs with coats of arms and mosaics on the walls... An experience that is both fun and brings us a little closer to Navarrese folklore.

A small restaurant with an intimate atmosphere, where you feel almost at home. Located just a stone's throw from the old bridge of La Cárcel, this "gastronomic workshop" functions as both a restaurant and a cooking school. Every day at lunchtime, you can taste good dishes made with organic or local products: vegetable wok, chicken cannelloni, grilled chipirons with onions... On Fridays and Saturdays in the evening, possibility of nibbling sandwiches on the spot.
