About Gandarias

Lunch or dinner at Gandarias means stepping into a room hung with jamón and old kitchen utensils on the walls, where the bar counter and the seated restaurant run as two different rhythms under one roof. The pintxos are the reason most people come back: the txuleta brocheta draws the loudest praise, the sea urchin and the sirloin pintxo are close behind, and the pepper stuffed with txangurro holds its place among the ones worth pushing to the bar for. The restaurant side handles full sittings with impressive speed — Fede at the front manages reservations and works the room with the kind of attention that makes a busy service feel unhurried. Carla at the bar keeps the same composure through the crowds. The gluten-free options on the menu are broader than anywhere else nearby.

In the last 90 days, Gandarias has drawn 35 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — a measure of how actively its reviewers have been writing lately.
