Low-lit Spanish bar & eatery serving traditional tapas, wine & cocktails in an old-world setting.

Pamplona Tapas Bar is this gem in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, on Jefferson Street—it’s got that cozy, rustic Spanish vibe inspired by the real Pamplona in Spain. Standouts include the award-winning Paella—folks say order it early ‘cause it’s worth the wait, with perfect seafood or classic Valenciana. Tonight I tried the Classic Valenciana, very authentic and delicious. Excellent service and delicious food, a winning combination. Friendly and efficient servers.

Lafayette’s coolest place to dine in my opinion! When you book ask for Caleb! My Guy & I went in October & the whole place was decked out for Halloween! Caleb made sure the whole experience was fabulous & after watching some Baddies do a ski shot I had to share a shot called “On Wednesdays We Wear Pink” with him. From one baddie to another!!!! Pamona busted my escargot cherry too! #FoodieGoals

Exquisite experience, food was top tier. Only little issue was the size of the oysters, aside from that, no real big deal. The drink selection was amazing. There are plenty of spirits to choose from, plenty of shareable plates, very comfortable atmosphere. Lafayette never ceases to amaze the senses, way better option for food variety and localized fun compared to New Orleans.

Really enjoyed eating here. I have been in town a lot for work this last month and have eaten here 4x now and have tried so many different things on the menu. Everything was phenomenal. The bartenders Mark and Zach were so friendly and helpful. Great bartenders and made it easy to come back. Great spot! Octopus, foie gras, and the mushrooms are some of my favorites!

Oh my God, this was my 1st experience here. Other than the fact that I were with my favorite people in the world. The food and service were great. Drinks were amazing. Old fashion!

One of my favourite places in lafayette. Very dish was delicious. Charcoal grilled oysters were amazing. Skirt steak, pork tenderloin, lamb sliders, flatbread, calamari, beet salad, and olives were extremely delicious. Crab fitters was a little too much crust and not enough meats inside. Meatballs were also whatever. Waiters were great and made great cocktails.

I travel a lot. This was the best meal and service I’ve had in a long time. The Paella was better than what I had at top rated restaurants in Barcelona. And Anna was the most amazing server. Knowledgeable, great recommendations, timed everything perfectly! Ask for her you will NOT regret it. I’ll be back!

One of the best Tapa’s Restaurants I’ve ever been to. Their Surf & Turf Paella is incredible! A succulent duck, shrimp and in-house chorizo amongst a vegetable medley. Their other amazing tapa dishes are well thought out and taste divine! We’re from California and plan to revisit this amazing jewel!

This was my favorite spot to get a burger for lunch downtown. Unfortunately just from the time I ordered last week the price went from $14 for a burger and fries to $22 after tax! Its good, but hard to justify. There must have been some burger tariffs I didn’t know about

Love getting together with friends here. The tapas is great for sharing. Always a good time. The atmosphere is the key. Love the pop ups and the drink menu they do for holidays.
