5 Tapas Bars Not to Miss in Logrono, La Rioja

Logrono is a capital of La Rioja province of Spain. This relatively small city of only 150,000 inhabitants has a bustling gastronomic scene. It is home to several Michelin-star restaurants.

You will find traditional tapas and pintxos bars everywhere around the city centre with Calle Laurel being the epicenter of tapas. Experience traditional tapas bars – get a drink and a pintxo (small something on a piece of bread) at one bar, and crawl to another.

Tip: Do not go heavy on pintxos. Instead, take a look at the menu which is usually above the bar, and order a racion, which is small typical dish cooked to order. I like to order several small hot dishes. They are fresh, yummy and I end up eating less bread.

Here are some ideas for you how to make your tapas experience even more diverse.

Treat yourself to high-quality gastronomic tapas at one of these Logrono restaurants distinguished by the Michelin guide.

Tastavin

Tastavin offers traditional tapas with a modern twist and a good selection of wine by the glass.

This is a larger bar in Logrono, on Calle San Juan, frequented by locals.

My favorite plate there is chipirones in tempura, a kind of small calamari, crispy and delicious.
