There are moments of the day that become rituals. In Logroño, one of them begins at dusk, when the light dims and Laurel Street is transformed into a parade of Rioja’s aromas, textures and flavors. It becomes the art of making “pinchos” in Logroño. I love to drop by the Laurel Street almost everyday: ending the day with a an incredible “pincho” and a glass of good wine. It is simple yet outstanding.
When there is a warming atmosphere, the experience turns to be unique. There is always someone with whom to exchange a friendly conversation between bites. During the weekend the experience changes completely. The street comes alive and any bar becomes a good choice. However, those who know Logroño will choose the right place and on the basis of their mood and the daytime. For me, there is a moment during the day when the Laurel Street becomes so special: Sunday afternoons. Tasting different bites at the same time you enjoy a glass of wine, makes Sunday that day.
For me, that’s the secret: to keep curiosity awake, to be attentive to new proposals while honoring the classics. That’s Laurel Street and that’s how I design authentic experiences around it, designed for demanding palates that are looking for more than just a simple dinner. They are looking for a gastronomic experience with soul. They are looking for the art of making pinchos in Logroño.
The right wine does not dominate, but wraps around the food like a silk glove. A crisp, white Rioja can enhance the delicate saltiness of a cod fritter, while a young, fruity Garnacha enhances the earthiness of a mushroom skewer.
