    • An exceptional location, a historic building, and a quality cuisine. With this distinction, El Colegio Restaurant becomes one of Pamplona 's most iconic establishments.

      A place full of soul and history, located in a unique building in a prime location, which houses the headquarters of the Official College of Physicians of Navarre. It is here that, under the direction of chef Álex Múgica, the doors of El Colegio Restaurant open every day.

      Located in the magnificent Jardines de la Medialuna, Chalet de Izu is the headquarters of the Official College of Physicians of Navarre. This emblematic building, reminiscent of the architecture of Madrid during the Habsburgs, houses the restaurant.


      This majestic mansion was the residence of Ambrosio Izu, who had it built in 1955 after his return from Mexico, where he had emigrated and made a career as the owner of a major spinning, weaving, and printing factory. He settled there with his wife, Blanca Urmeneta, from Navarre.


      Álex Múgica at the head of the kitchen

      Since late 2020, Álex Múgica has been the owner of El Colegio Restaurant. This renowned chef and entrepreneur leads a team of professionals with a clear mission: to offer quality cuisine and impeccable service.

      Expertise, a selection of seasonal products, and a blend of tradition and modernity define the personality of their cuisine. A commitment to taste and simplicity, designed for the pleasure of food lovers.


      Seasonal products

      With a constantly updated daily menu, El Colegio Restaurant carefully curates its menu proposals for groups, its weekend menus, and its specific menus for special occasions and celebrations ( weddings, communions, Christmas, etc.).

      All dishes are made with carefully selected, top-quality ingredients. They feature mainly seasonal produce and vegetables from the Navarre region. Because when it comes to choosing, El Colegio Restaurant focuses on quality, freshness, and local flavors.


      Reserve your table and come discover Álex Múgica's cuisine.
