Just across the bridge from my hotel, I was so glad I found it here on Yelp. Besides good seating arrangements and nice decorations, the staff is also very friendly , although poorly English speaking. My Spanish is still a bit rusty :) I chose the paella with sea fruit. It was super delicious nom nom nom. Divine. Going back tomorrow scrumptious. Really.

Stopped in to try their Paella due to great reviews and I'm glad we did. It was a rainy day in…read moreBilbao and it was nice to have tasty and delicious paella.

One of the most colorful layouts of pintxos awaits at Zurekin, a tapas bar in the new city of…read moreBilbao! The classic tortilla made with egg, sliced potatoes, and lots of olive oil was juicy and succulent. The taco bonito was a rather dry but meaty chunk of tuna topped with chopped onions, tomatoes, and peppers, and plenty of olive oil. But the most unique pintxo I had came with two thick slices of creamy, melty brie cheese topped with a compote of mixed berries, and skewered with a mint leaf and a raspberry. Such a colorful melange of ingredients, and the sweetness of the berries had a nice contrast to the unctuous cheese!

Three big platters of iberico ham on top of crusty and crunchy bread, I pointed at that and said "cerveza." Easy, pleasy. The plate had an classy sort of vibe to it with fresh and clean decor and a large bar of pretty backlit bottles plus a very fancy looking espresso machine.

Only complaint was I wish they served more of the vegetables, of all things! Our other dish was the "appetizer" eggs and potatoes: essentially eggs and fries with thin Iberian ham slices.
