Pintxos

Pintxos and tapas are not the same thing. Tapas were first created as early as the Middle Ages and were often served as a small snack to go with what you had in your glass. Tapas are often smaller portions of a dish, where it is not so much about the quantity as what is being served.

Pintxos (pronounced pinchos) are newer and originated in the Basque Country in northern Spain in the 1930s. "Pinxtos" comes from the verb "to stick", and is traditionally a piece of bread with something good on top, held together by a toothpick or similar. They are usually eaten in bars or taverns as a small snack, in the company of friends or relatives; thus, they have a strong social component. Pintxos are a culinary, social and cultural phenomenon and have become a strong symbol of the Basque Country and Donostia and San Sebastián in particular.

About Fresquito

Fresquito is a tapas bar and restaurant for those who love Spanish cuisine, South American culinary traditions, good wine, cocktails and music. Leading the kitchen is chef Cristian Munoz, who has extensive experience from restaurants in Cádiz on the south coast of Spain. He brings to the table local delicacies like pescaíto frito (fried fish) and a tantalizing array of tapas, complemented by a menu centered around fresh seafood.

Restaurant manager Giovanni Sánchez is behind Fresquito, known affectionately as Gio, and there is a high probability you'll meet him at the door – for a hug, excellent service and personal recommendations when it comes to both food and drink.

"You can't reserve a table with me. I want there to be a queue and excitement in the street outside. And that everyone should have the opportunity to eat here," he says himself.

The restaurant is located next door to Frescohallen at the Bergen Børs Hotel, and opened in March 2024. The new Fresquito has thus also opened its doors, providing direct access to both Vågsallmenningen, Fisketorget and Vågen.
