Bilbao, Spain | Brass is a revelation to me

đŸ„‘ One of Bilbao’s Top 3 Brunches (According to Google)—With a Catch I’ve visited this spot three times now—for brunch, bar snacks, and full meals—and it’s time to break it down: Great for casual hangs, but stick to the bar if you want to avoid misses. ☀ Brunch: Hits and a Big Letdown I went with the “Patricia’s” brunch, which comes with avocado toast, a green juice, an acai bowl, and coffee. Green juice: MVP. Fresh, bright, and boosted with basil—so good I chugged half in one go. It even gave me that “I’m being healthy” glow. Worth ordering alone (I might go back just to reverse-engineer the recipe). Acai bowl: Decent—frosty, fruity, with fresh toppings. No complaints. Avocado toast: A letdown. Mashed avocado with zero lemon, just a sprinkle of salt and cayenne, plus two cherry . Bland. I almost asked for lemon, but held back. (For reference: It’s nowhere near as good as CINNAMON’s version.) 🍞 Bar Snacks: The Real Stars (Especially That Brie Toast) My first visit’s bar snack won me over—and made me return: P1’s small toast: A revelation. Crispy bread layered with roasted brie (drizzled in basil oil) and sautĂ©ed tomatoes. The brie oozed, the tomatoes added tang, and the basil oil tied it all together. Suddenly, brie with honey or nuts felt boring. Chef’s kiss. On my second visit (bar-only round), I tried more: JamĂłn toast: Solid—you can’t go wrong with Iberian ham. Fried shrimp: Crispy, with a spicy sriracha base. Tasty. Chicken gyoza: Meh. The dumpling was dry, and the dipping sauce was overly tart. Mexican avocado flatbread: Fresh, zesty, and satisfying. 😋 đŸ„© Third Visit: Menu Disappointments (With One Save) Lunch here was a mixed bag: Tuna tataki: Fresh fish over guacamole (and let’s be real, guacamole rarely fails). It had a hint of sesame oil—unexpected but nice—though a touch too salty. Seafood roll: Terrible. All batter, no seafood flavor. A waste of space. 💣 Fried squid: Average—nothing to write home about. Iberian pork: The server warned us it was “undercooked,” but we didn’t realize it’d be medium-rare at best. I managed a few bites, but my boyfriend noped out entirely (his face said it all). We took it home, stir-fried it, and it tasted way better. 📌 Final Take: Stick to the Bar This spot’s great for brunch (just skip the avocado toast) or bar snacks with friends. The bar menu shines—especially that brie-and-tomato toast—while the main menu feels hit-or-miss. Go for the vibe, the green juice, and the bar bites. You won’t regret it. #BilbaoBrunch #BarSnacksWins #SpanishFood #NorthernSpain #TravelEats
