Pamplona Tapas Bar and Restaurant

“Holy cow.. so good! Nothing was too salty... everything was balanced.. special mention to the "phyllo" type papas bravas (patatas) and the mixologists... fresher is better and this place delivers.. the escargot were tender, bacon wrapped dates, mushrooms in their sauce.... mmmm i guess you could just throw some darts at the menu and never go wrong. Not posting food photos... come around and find out...”

“Lafayette’s coolest place to dine in my opinion! When you book ask for Caleb! My Guy & I went in October & the whole place was decked out for Halloween! Caleb made sure the whole experience was fabulous & after watching some Baddies do a ski shot I had to share a shot called “On Wednesdays We Wear Pink” with him. From one baddie to another!!!! Pamona busted my escargot cherry too! #FoodieGoals”

“Pamplona Tapas Bar is this gem in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, on Jefferson Street—it’s got that cozy, rustic Spanish vibe inspired by the real Pamplona in Spain. Standouts include the award-winning Paella—folks say order it early ‘cause it’s worth the wait, with perfect seafood or classic Valenciana. Tonight I tried the Classic Valenciana, very authentic and delicious. Excellent service and delicious food, a winning combination. Friendly and efficient servers.”

“One of my favourite places in lafayette. Very dish was delicious. Charcoal grilled oysters were amazing. Skirt steak, pork tenderloin, lamb sliders, flatbread, calamari, beet salad, and olives were extremely delicious. Crab fitters was a little too much crust and not enough meats inside. Meatballs were also whatever. Waiters were great and made great cocktails.”

“watch out for the 20% automatic gratuity even if you’re two people dining- my total was $93.81 after tax and i left a $20 cash tip and they still charged my card for another $15 two days later resulting in about 40% tip for themselves. This was not noted on my receipt or menu at all and is illegal. Food was good but we were seated at a very cold area and right against a dirty closet/wall. Were initially told that all the other tables were reserved when the restaurant was mostly empty. place was so cold we couldn’t enjoy our anniversary dinner, we were able to move to a better table halfway through the date. Paella was delicious but all in all not returning.”
