Agape, a local affordable restaurant in Bilbao

🍮 Agape: Bilbao’s Hidden Gem in a Residential Alley (Worth the Detour!) Bilbao, the heart of Spain’s Basque Country, is overflowing with fantastic local eateries—but Agape, tucked away in a quiet residential lane, was our trip’s sweetest surprise. What makes it special? A weekday lunch deal so good, it’s been named one of Spain’s top 10 Menu del DĂ­a (daily menus). Trust us: This is where locals eat, and once you taste it, you’ll see why. 💰 The Star: €18 Lunch Deal (Yes, Really) For just €18, the Menu del DĂ­a includes: Starter, main, dessert Drink (wine or water) Bread The result? A feast that leaves you stuffed—literally eating until you need to waddle out. æ€§ä»·æŻ”äč‹çŽ‹ (king of value) doesn’t even cover it. đŸ„˜ The Food: Simple, Fresh, Unforgettable No fancy frills here—just solid, flavorful Basque cooking: Starters: We tried squid ink rice and pumpkin soup. The rice? Exceptional—rich, briny, and served with creamy alioli that had us licking the spoon. The soup? Velvety and comforting, a perfect warm-up. Mains: Crispy fried mackerel with eggplant (no fishy aftertaste—just pure, smoky flavor) and slow-braised ox tongue with sweet potato purĂ©e. The tongue? Fall-apart tender, smothered in a fragrant onion sauce that balanced the richness. Desserts: A highlight for sweet tooths. Their Basque cheesecake, nutty (cheesecake), and tiramisu—all made with goat’s milk cheese—are game-changers. Creamy, not cloying, with subtle fruit notes that cut through the richness. Better than many dedicated bakeries. 🌟 The Little Extras Vibe: Cozy, with thoughtful design touches that feel homey but polished. Service: The owner is warm and witty—even squeezed us in without a reservation, giving us 1.5 hours to enjoy. Locals love it: Packed with residents at lunch, always a good sign. 📍 Final Thought Agape isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a masterclass in why Basque cuisine shines. For €18, you get a meal that’s delicious, generous, and full of heart. Just remember: Book ahead if you can (it’s popular!), and arrive hungry. This is one hidden gem that lives up to the hype. #BilbaoFoodie #BasqueCuisine #LunchDeal #HiddenGems #SpainTravel
