🥩 Txakoli Simón, Bilbao: A Steak Lover’s Hideaway in Artxanda’s Hills Let’s cut to the chase: I love steak. My usual appetite? 8 dumplings. But when it comes to steak? 1kg+ is fair game. And Txakoli Simón? Worth every kilometer driven into Artxanda’s quiet hills. Yes, it’s a bit out of the way—but that’s part of the charm. This spot lives for steak, and once you taste it, you’ll forget the detour. 🌭 The Surprise Starter: Chorizo That Steals the Show Chorizo cocido a la sidra: Game. Changer. Not the cold, cured chorizo you’re used to—this is warm, simmered in cider, and explodes with rich, spicy-sweet flavor. Pair it with the fresh, still-warm bread they serve alongside? Perfection. We mopped up every last drop of that cider sauce. 🥗 The Classic Salad: No Fuss, Just Value Ensalada mixta: A no-frills mixed salad—crisp greens, tomatoes, cucumber, a light dressing. Nothing fancy, but huge portions and a great price. The ideal palate cleanser before the main event. 🥩 The Main Event: 1.5kg of Grill-Kissed Perfection Three of us split a 1.5kg Chuletón a la brasa (grilled rib steak), served with crispy fries. Here’s the best part: You pick your doneness. Rare? Medium? Well-done? They nail it. The meat? Juicy, tender, with that smoky char from the grill that makes steak lovers weak at the knees. No overcomplicating—just high-quality beef, cooked right. 🌟 Why It’s Worth the Trip Txakoli Simón isn’t about flash. It’s about flavor: a standout chorizo starter, a solid salad, and steak that lets the meat shine. For a group of steak enthusiasts (or even one very hungry person), it’s a must. 📍 Camino San Roque 89, 48015 Bilbao #BilbaoSteak #HiddenGem #ArtxandaEats #SteakLovers #BasqueFood
