About Gure Toki
Gure Toki holds the #1 hot-list rank in casco-viejo, and the numbers explain why: across 5,092 reviews, it maintains a 4.5-star average with 70.6% five-star ratings—the strongest ratio among Plaza Nueva's tapas bars. Reviewers consistently praise the exquisite, inventive pintxos that defy the standard bar formula: the mushroom pintxo, crab, scallop, and jamón-tortilla varieties earn specific mention for flavour and execution. The cheese tart is legendary. Beyond the counter, the kitchen delivers equally polished raciones—entrecôte, pulpo, razor clams—and weekend menus at €27 offer real value. The bar excels across all formats: excellent craft beer selection, a serious wine list, and cocktails that hold their own. Service is notably fast and attentive despite constant crowds. The atmosphere is informal and fashionable, with a working terrace on Plaza Nueva itself. Wheelchair-accessible entrance, mobile payments, and table service alongside counter seating make it genuinely inclusive. It's busy by design—locals, students, and tourists rotate through—but the kitchen's speed and the staff's warmth justify the queues.
