On our recent trip to Barcelona our hotel recommended Euskal Etxea for pintxos. We had been disappointed not to find pintxos bars in the Bari Gotic area given the commercial changes to that area since our last trip 10 years ago. Euskal is in the Born area near the Picasso Museum. It was quite busy but we quickly got plates and beverages. The selection was limited but everything we tried was very good. The restaurant is quite small with counters around the perimeter and stools to enjoy your pintxos selections. The restaurant also has a small area in the back with tables where dinner is served.
After we finished enjoying we took our plates to the bar where our toothpicks were counted and we our bill was tallied. Each pintxos was 2.10€.
If you are looking for traditional pintxos I'd recommend trying this place.
This has to be one of my favorite Barcelona restaurants! I was giving up on finding good food/tapas that was not deep-fried.
Its Basque food. Love the small pieces of food with toothpicks. You go up to the counter and pick up what you want and they charge you per toothpick - about 2€ per pintxos.
The waiter will also come by at your table every five minutes with a new offering.
It's really good food and an amazing experience a must visit when you're in Barcelona!
My total bill with about 8 pieces, 2 beers and desert came to 26€
Super friendly and attentive staff.
Pintxos, pintxos, pintxos!
Swung by Euskal Etxea for a quick snack while sightseeing in Barcelona. It's an ideal spot to take a break from all the walking, and refuel with some bite sized snacks and coffee/beer. During lunch time the restaurant has an open front room with platters of pintxos and bar seating for folks to pick their bites. All ingredients were incredibly fresh, resting on a fluffy slice of baguette.
Next time in Barcelona I will definitely be stopping by again!
This place is fantastic! My husband & I stopped in for some quick pintxos and they were amazing! I was especially surprised by the monkfish pintxo. Yummy!
The servers were nice & informative as well as accommodating. Good food, good wine, good service, good atmosphere. We went back a second time during our week-long stay. Totally recommend this place.
These are the best pintxo's we have found in Barcelona. This is our second trip to BCN in 18months so we returned to see if it was just as good. I dare say it was better the second time than the first. Avoid Pintxo's on La Rambla. Come here instead.
I gave this place 5 stars because of the relaxed air and wide selection of tapas. Our 2nd day in Barcelona started as a rainy wet day, and we were hoping to get into the Picasso Museum.
We'll, the lines to see Pablo were extrely long, so we snuck into Euskal to wait out the rain.
What a lucky break!! Food was great and covered us for Brunch. We were in touch with the rest of our party who were flying in from the US.
Staff was very warm and casual and helped us with tapas selections for first-timers. Would recommend this place highly if you're visiting the Gotic area of Barcelona.

I dedicated a whole afternoon to finding the best pintxos in Barcelona. Although these were the only ones I had while I was there, the flavor combinations were so awesome.
This restaurant is Basque, and has a full menu but also plates on plates of pintxos at the front of the restaurant that are self serve. It's a la carte and they count your toothpicks (there's a toothpick holding together each pintxo) at the end and charge you per piece. Around 2 Euro per pintxo?
My server was so nice (and handsome) and explained all the different pintxos to me, all sorts of meats and cheeses, hot and cold ones. I picked 4 per his recommendation, all so fantastic. He also suggested a basque cider for me to taste, it was not as sweet as the ciders I'm used to in the US, but so refreshing with my pintxos.
The tables in the front are high tops and really easy to hang out in, I read some local newspapers and I enjoyed my meal, and the server checked in with me multiple times to make sure I was having s great experience.
When I hear my friends say they're going to Spain, this restaurant is among my MUST SEEs in Barcelona! Awesome food, amazing service.
Very casual pinchos bar in the old part of town. The honor code system here works like this: you find a high top table or lean up against the bar in the back, the waitress gives you some plates and takes your drink order and then you head to the bar in order to select which pinchos you want and you keep the toothpicks as a method of being charged. They are recycling the pinchos every now and then so don't worry if your favorite runs out, they'll have more in a few minutes. Good for groups and for a stop to grab a beer and hang out. Was presently surprised.

I'm always forgetting the name of this place! Dang! I have no idea how to pronounce the name (help!).Seriously one of the most memorable parts about my visit to Barcelona. My sister heard of this place from her friend who studied abroad in Barcelona and recommended this tapas bar to us!
Dumb comment: Okay, I'll admit I had no idea what tapas were before I came her. I thought tapas were the same thing as Filipino tapa which is dried or cured beef lol. Oh well, you learn something new everyday.
I was actually whining about coming here because I was lazy to walk to the Gothic Quarter all the way from Las Ramblas but I'm sure glad I did!
It's a trendy place where you just grab as many tapas as you want from the bar and you pay later, honor system. The tapas they served were mainly small sandwiches or bruschetta-style snacks along with croissants stuffed with meat. It was about 1.80 euro per tapa I believe. You MUST go there if you're ever in Barcelona!
It's crowded with a mix of locals and tourists so you know this place is happening!
This is a great serve yourself, traditional tapas bar. We ordered a couple glasses of wine - the server dropped a couple of plates at our table. You just walk up to the bar and grab what you want off the tapas bar - you are charged based on the number of toothpicks you have at the end of the meal.
Un lugar Vasco súper para tapear con amig@s! Los pinxos van saliendo calentitos de la cocina y los camareros súper amables te los van ofreciendo mesa por mesa😀 Luego tienes los fríos que puedes servirtelos tu mism@.
Deliciosas las hamburguesitas con cebolla caramelizada, el chorizo a la sidra, las croquetas, la chistorrita deliciosa, los tigres, la morcilla, en fin... Para repetir de verdad. Delicioso y ambiente genial!
Uno de mis lugares favoritos al que siempre vuelvo.
Unas chistorritas de aperitivo de la casa espectaculares!! Los puerros una delicia, los pimientos alucinantes, la merluza fresca fresquisima y los callos especiales
Que ganas de volver!
Un buen descubrimiento en el borne. Íbamos callejeando, buscando un sitio donde cenar y nos llamó la atención este lugar.
Un sitio perfecto para picotear o incluso cenar.
En la barra hay una gran variedad de tapas frías (cada pincho a 2,30€) y mientras vas picoteando van sacando y ofreciéndote tapas calientes.
Tienes que ir guardando los palillos para que al final ellos hagan el reencuentro y puedan cobrarte.
La única pega fue que tuvimos que picotear de pie por falta de sitio y asientos; una experiencia diferente.
Fuimos por un tipsy tour y la atención fue muy buena y disfrutamos mucho del lugar, muy rico todo
Pinchos al paso. 2.5 euros cada uno. Ricos pero básicos. No esperes mucha variedad. Tendrán 7 u 8 tipos de pinchos. Esperaba más dado la cantidad de reviews y opiniones. No creo que vuelva.
El sitio perfecto para tapear!
Um local de 10 para tapear, los pintxos están buenísimos y el personal super atento y rapidos.
Un buen lugar para tomar pinxos al estilo del norte que me hacen recordar tanto Euskadi, como Navarra o Logroño. Variedad y surtido muy exquisito, atención y amabilidad del personal de servicio. Local situado en un entorno histórico de la ciudad de Barcelona.
Repetiremos .
Si buscan un lugar de tapas frías y calientes, originales, pues este es el lugar perfecto. Cada vez que tengo invitados de fuera yo los traigo aquí y quedo como una reina.
Desde la tradicional tortilla de patatas, o croquetas variadas, hasta los montaditos más originales, como el de queso con nueces y confitura de frutos rojos. Una pasada!
Los trabajadores son muy majos, el sistema de elegir pinchos y pagar después está genial, tienen mucha variedad y sabores potentes, recomiendo probar totalmente, también está la opción de restaurante. 1000/10
En el centro del barrio gótico de Barcelona muy cerca de la basílica de Santa Maria del Mar, la calidad de la cocina buena, excelente y muy completa barra de pinchos ( las gildas de 10). Degustamos tortilla de morro de bacalao (10) croquetas (8) callos con garbanzos a la vizcaína (7) calamar (9). Segundos tres chuletones y cochinillo (9). Postres y café (9). Atención (10) espacio (8). Buena cocina vasca en una de las zonas más emblemáticas de Barcelona.
