Pamplona Tapas Bar

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!
