On a night dedicated to cinematic excellence, the Navarrese restaurant Baserriberri brought the flavors and charm of Pamplona to the global stage of the 96th Academy Awards. Held on March 10 at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, Baserriberri joined the celebration with an exclusive pintxo created especially for the event’s distinguished guests.
A Taste of Navarra at the Academy Awards
Led by Iñaki Andradas and Luken Vigo, Baserriberri stood out at an Oscars edition with a strong Spanish presence, featuring nominations for La Sociedad de la Nieve and Robot Dreams. At one of the prestigious Oscar night parties, chefs Andradas, Vigo, and Danel Ortubay crafted the pintxo “Navarra Dreams”, bringing the landscape and gastronomy of Navarra directly to Los Angeles.
“For us, it is an honor to attend an event like the Oscars and represent Navarra and Saborea Pamplona on such a special occasion,” said Iñaki Andradas, head of Baserriberri. “It’s a unique opportunity to showcase the richness and excellence of Navarrese gastronomy to the world, and we are thrilled to share Baserriberri’s essence with such an international audience.”
A Pintxo Inspired by Navarra
With its signature creative and globally influenced cuisine, Baserriberri presented the “Navarra Dreams” pintxo, inspired by the Oscar-nominated Spanish animated film produced in Navarra.
This unique culinary creation consists of three exquisite bites:
✔ Hummus of piquillo pepper with Navarrese white asparagus yolk
✔ Smoked trout from the Pyrenees with crème fraîche and Iberian ham
✔ Foie mousse with orange marmalade and fried almonds
Baserriberri: Expanding Navarra’s Culinary Influence
Baserriberri’s participation in the Oscars marks a significant milestone for the restaurant group as it continues to establish itself as a gastronomic leader in northern Spain. With the recent opening of Rojo y Negro in San Sebastián and the Hazia establishment in Vitoria, the group is rapidly expanding its culinary legacy, bringing the flavors of Navarra to both national and international audiences.
This remarkable event not only elevates Pamplona’s culinary reputation but also reinforces Spain’s presence on the world’s most prestigious stages. Baserriberri’s journey from Navarra to Hollywood is a testament to the global appeal of Spanish gastronomy.
