About Epica Gastro Bar
Epica Gastro Bar sits on the Plaza Mayor in Burgos, a stone's throw from the cathedral. This tapas bar has garnered a strong local following, reflected in its 4.7-star rating from over 500 reviews. Epica is open Wednesday through Sunday, offering lunch and dinner service with a break in between. The interior is described as casual and cozy, but also trendy and relatively quiet. Expect a menu focused on small plates designed for sharing, alongside a drinks list that highlights coffee and wine. The bar offers beer, cocktails, and hard liquor, too. Outdoor seating is available. It's wheelchair accessible, which is a plus for the location. Epica is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan accordingly. The late closing times on Friday and Saturday make it a solid option for a relaxed evening, but it's worth noting the kitchen closes between lunch and dinner.
