🇪🇸 Bilbao restaurant | You can eat steak and seafood rice

🥩 Restaurante Asador Hodei, Basauri: A Steak Haven 10 Minutes From Bilbao (With Epic Grilled Pineapple) Craving steak but don’t want to trek to Artxanda? This spot in Basauri is your answer. Just 10 minutes by car from Bilbao’s center, it’s a well-known gem that delivers on flavor—especially if you save room for dessert. 🍴 The Must-Orders (From Family Feasts to Intimate Meals) Salad or Iberico platter: Start here. The platter comes with jamón, chorizo, and lomo—cured perfection for meat lovers. If you’re in a group, get both—no regrets. Steak: Non-negotiable. Served with fries and a hot iron plate, you cook it to your liking tableside. Rare, medium, well-done? The power’s in your hands, and the quality of the meat ensures it’ll be tender and juicy, no matter what. Seafood paella: Heads up—it’s naturally salty. Beg the server to cook it a little longer and go easy on the salt. Done right? It’s packed with fresh seafood and saffron-infused rice. 🍍 The Star of the Show: Grilled Pineapple Dessert Promise me you’ll order this. It’s simple—pineapple, sugar, a splash of alcohol—but when they light it up tableside? Magic. The sugar caramelizes into a crispy crust, the pineapple gets warm and juicy, and the sauce? Sweet, slightly boozy, and addictive. I was gutted when I missed it on my first visit but made up for it at a later —worth the wait. 🌟 Why It Works for Every Occasion Whether you’re with family (large platters, shared dishes) or a partner (cozy, no-fuss), Hodei fits. It’s 10 minutes from downtown, serves consistent, satisfying food, and that pineapple dessert? Alone worth the drive. 📍 Calle de Artunduaga, 18, 48970 Basauri #BilbaoSteak #BasauriEats #GrilledPineapple #FamilyDinner #SpanishFood
