A separate glass-walled room for the chef's table places those guests in the kitchen, but that area is not visible for the rest of us. Strangely, it seemed as if everyone at the chef's table missed out, because Chef Sergio Ortiz de Zarate spends about 20% of his time in the main dining room. He was assisting with service, presenting the plates, or just speaking with the guests. Every plate had some element of the sea involved, which I was happy to have, although I was initially hesitant on the dessert: seafood stuffed French toast, seaweed ice cream, with pistachio. Different. But delicious. 2025 05 07. M1. 243.

After exploring Bilbao's charming Casco Viejo, we made our way to Gure Toki in Plaza Nueva, and it…read moreended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The pintxos counter alone is worth the visit. Every bite looked like a miniature work of art, making it almost impossible to choose. We started with the Gilda, the iconic Basque pintxo of olives, Cantabrian anchovies, and pickled guindilla peppers. It was bright, salty, and the perfect way to wake up our appetites. The Idiazabal cheese soup with quail egg was one of the most memorable dishes we had in Bilbao. Creamy, silky, and comforting, it was topped with crispy potato sticks, crunchy corn, herbs, edible flowers, and a perfectly cooked quail egg that made every spoonful rich without feeling heavy. Another favorite was the tuna served in a vintage-style sardine tin, topped with roasted red peppers. The presentation was clever, but the quality of the tuna really stood out. It was incredibly fresh, tender, and paired beautifully with the sweet peppers. We also couldn't resist the jamón Ibérico on toasted bread with grated tomato (pan con tomate). Sometimes the simplest pintxos are the best, and this one showcased just how exceptional good Iberian ham can be. Everything was beautifully presented without sacrificing flavor. Even though the bar was busy, service was efficient, and the lively atmosphere made it feel like a place where both locals and visitors come for outstanding pintxos. If you're visiting Bilbao, Gure Toki is a must. It's the perfect place to experience traditional Basque flavors with a modern, creative twist.

The thing about sitting outside is that there are smokers. :/ The pinxtos are premade and just heated up. We tried txangurro (spider crab) gratin, artichoke in tempura, and crispy squid with onion. I was a bit disappointed, because I didn't care for any of them. The bread was quite crusty. I guess pinxtos aren't my thing.
