He has many years open and is well known by all the inhabitants of the city - you can check it out asked by there - although, that doesn't mean anything more. The Sandwiches are tasty and unique, but perhaps dont must walk a lot to get up there if you are not near. I go once in a while, and enjoy it.

One of the most renowned Pintxo houses in Bilboa. Famous for their truffle and spider crab…read moreversions. Both verified delicious. Had a small beer code named "Zurito" and a small vermouth code named "marianito" The play is to order the best pintxo and a small drink and move on. Thus the service is scaled that way. They were helpful and quick. Ambience? You stand on street with 80 other people. Go with the program and drink it in

The restaurant is one I found to be recommended for pinxtos (small, bite-sized snacks often on a…read morepiece of toasted bread). We sat outside and were told to order food inside. 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.

This is a great spot for lunch. I had the Vietnamese salad, and it was not your typical bowl of…read moregreens. Delicious, lightly dressed. The only downside is that the smoke from Bilbao's tobacco-lovers gets pulled in through the front door. Not pleasant when you get a good draft - best to sit in the back.

Food: This is THE BEST place in Bilbao for Cochinillo (Suckling Pig)!! The wagyu beef burger (€10)…read more is cooked to perfection as well. The combination of the egg and wagyu is such a deliciously meaty combination. And of course there's the cochinillo. The crispy skin, succulent meat will make your mouth water and hungry for more. It comes in 2,3 and 4 person portion (starting from €30). Service: the staff is warm and attentive. Although he cannot really converse with us in English, he does his best to explain the menu to us and has the friendliest demeanor. In fact he gave us appetizers on the house in light of Xmas (lkr?)! This is a textbook hidden-gem in Bilbao. Do be sure to hit up this place for a Spanish meal you will never forget!!!

This stuff is good, real good. Try the mejillones for a taste of mussels in escabeche type sauce. The boquerones are small and tangy because of the vinegar, but nonetheless are fabulous. There's so much to try and taste here but you must bring your appetite.
