🇪🇸Bilbao restaurant recommendations | Bascook

🍴 Bascook, Bilbao: Where Basque Flair Meets Creative Twists (A Year of Devouring the Menu) Over the past year, I’ve slowly worked my way through Bascook’s menu—even as they tweak dishes seasonally. Now, it’s time to gush: This spot, serving innovative Basque cuisine with subtle Japanese touches, is a must-try. Zero misses in all my visits, and that’s saying something. ✨ Why It Stands Out: Vibes + Free Extras First, the perks: They always start you off with an aperitivo—usually a variety of cold soups (refreshing, zesty, the perfect opener). Once, we ordered two tasting menus (Menú Degustación) and got bonus croquetas—crispy, cheesy, and addictive. Then there’s the ambiance: Warm lighting, cozy vibes, and a setup that’s perfect for photos. Every dish looks as good as it tastes—your feed will thank you. 📸 🍝 The Must-Orders (After a Year of Testing!) Air-dried beef pasta: Chewy pasta tossed with tender, savory dried beef—umami-packed and satisfying. Burrata salad: Creamy burrata, fresh greens, and a bright dressing—simple, but elevated. Octopus leg avocado sushi: A genius fusion—tender octopus, creamy avocado, and a hint of wasabi. Basque meets Japan, and it works. Beef tartare: Fresh, seasoned just right, with a silky texture that melts in your mouth. 📍 Go Here. Seriously. If you’re in Bilbao and haven’t tried Bascook? You’re missing out. It’s got that rare combo of consistent flavor, creative twists, and great vibes—whether you’re here for a casual bite or a special meal. Barroeta Aldamar Kalea, 8 is calling.
