Traditional Cuisine

The cuisine of Navarre has forged a formidable personality characterised by dishes made with seasonal local produce.

You can always find a good selection of the food products this land is famous for prepared by chefs of the highest level in the city’s many bars and restaurants. Asparagus, artichokes, pochas beans, cardoon, lettuce hearts, borage, piquillo peppers; veal, lamb or game, in autumn, are just some of the wide range of tasty things on offer. All washed down with Navarra wine, be it red, white or rosé, or local cider.

The Government of Navarre has been promoting local products under the designation Reyno Gourmet since 2007. These products are identified on their labels with the Reyno Gourmet logo. Other protected designations of origin protect piquillo peppers from Lodosa, Idiazábal and Roncal cheese, Navarra wine, olive oil and cava.
