First time visiting Lafayette and impressed by the variety of restaurants in downtown area. However my critique for Pamplona Tapas Bar is based on 18 years in hospitality industry, traveling the world and exploring different restaurants and cuisines.

I don’t get out much to places that require a reservation but I was very glad to try Pamplona. Their winter menu was available for my visit and it included a wide array of tapas that my party enjoyed immensely. Street parking was manageable and there are other places within walking distance that you may wish to visit as well. The staff were kind, friendly and almost always available. Also, my friend said their Duck Fat Fries were the best she ever had!

Been trying to try this place for years! One daughter finished UL in ’19, & luckily, my twin girls are there now! These tapas rock! Something for every taste…vegetarian, gluten free, have no fear!! The cocktails are so original & delicious…& the prices are amazing, despite the somewhat formal & gorgeous setting. This is España! Be certain to make a reservation, & outdoor seating was charming, & even more romantic & Euro!

We went to Pamplona for the decoration we saw when visiting Jefferson Street. The Christmas decoration was really amazing and the cocktails were fun and tasty. We had a blast eating those tapas with such a unique ambiance

Phenomenal tapas! Great atmosphere and delightful staff made this a truly great experience. The garlic shrimp was so good…had to get the ciabatta to soak up the broth. Sending out a personal thanks to Joshua for his customer friendly service.

It’s been so long since I’ve been here, and the food is so good! Although a small establishment, it gets real pack, real fast! Make sure to have reservations are expect a wait! We had the following:

My husband and I shared a bottle of Spanish red and a sweet and savory compote flatbread. The music was a swing between Spanish classical and slow cool grooves, with a dim intimate ambiance. We had a wonderful time, good food and great wine!

Really good service, cool atmosphere, but the food is just ok. Way too pricey for what you get. We tried alot of different things, and some were good and some were not. $8 for a basket of fries that taste the same as any $3 basket of fries elsewhere. I feel as though this restaurant is good at creating the illusion that it’s better than it actually is. I can pay half the price elsewhere and get double the food, that tastes just as good or better. Our bill was $150 and I feel like we could have had a much better experience elsewhere for the same price. To be fair, it does have some quirky items that you can’t find anywhere else, so if that’s your thing then it’s an ok spot. I feel like 3 stars is a fair assessment, all things considered. It’s simply ok. But with so many other restaurants in Lafayette, it’s hard to return to a just “ok” spot.

We were in Lafayette for the weekend and Pamplona came highly recommended. Pamplona did not disappoint. We stuck with small plates: hummus, seared scallops, Mac and Gouda, duck confit, crawfish croquettes, and the piece de resistance – flan. It exceeded expectations. Pamplona has an EXTENSIVE cocktail menu – try it. Great atmosphere. Excellent service.
