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!

This small place is really nice, to be recommended with extremely good value for money breakfasts and brunches. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. This is not only for Mini Fans but for all, including families. A lot of local people come here, especially staff from local offices. On weekends and nights, they turn into a cocktail bar. The place is well designed, and fun designed. They also have battery chargers for urgent needs, as you can see on the picture.

Our waitress was fantastic too and took note of any allergies or things we didn't like in order to alter the food so it was perfect for us. Overall AMAZING place to eat in Bilbao and a must try.

When it comes to wine and cheese, I will go to great lengths to satisfy my cravings. Although…read moreAsubio was insanely crowded and noisy, with hardly enough room to make a path to walk back to the bar, I was determined to eat cheese from Cantabria (sadly, which is very under-rated and not readily available here in the US) and enjoy a glass of Cigales. [1] So yes, I had a glass of wine (which wasn't as dry as some of the other rose wines from Cigales, unfortunately), but I'm not really sure I enjoyed it. But not because of the taste of the wine or the prices (because this tapas bar is trendy, everything is more expensive than nearby bars). The three barkeeps were these pouty hipster girls, who very obviously and loudly talked about me as I waited at the bar for my tapa of melted Cobreces cheese to be prepared. (Too bad I understood and gave that girl a very dirty look.) It took about 10 minutes for my cheese to arrive from the kitchen. I loved it; but there was a little too much orange marmalade to accompany the cheese, which I revere as its own special food group. Overpriced, mediocre wine and rude service gave me all the more reason to have Round 2 of wine down the street (which I did). Why this place is so crowded, I will never understand!
