Food lovers will enjoy Berriozar’s offerings, which are steeped in the culinary traditions of the Navarrese and Basque regions. One of the must-try local dishes is pochas, a traditional bean stew made with white beans, vegetables, and chorizo, often enjoyed in the cooler months. Berriozar is also known for its txistorra, a spiced pork sausage that is a staple in many dishes, particularly during the local festivals.
The city’s restaurants and cafes often serve pintxos, the Basque equivalent of tapas, offering bite-sized delicacies like bacalao (salted cod) and grilled vegetables. Visitors will also find an excellent selection of local wines from the Navarre region, with robust reds and crisp whites available in many of the town’s bars and eateries.
For those wanting to experience local gastronomy, Berriozar’s proximity to Pamplona opens up even more dining opportunities. Food markets like the Mercado del Ensanche in Pamplona provide fresh, local produce and regional specialties, perfect for a true taste of northern Spain.
