Bilbao Brasserie — Restaurant in Bandung City

✨Ambience: It’s kinda a glammy or fancy place for dinner! Their colours theme fits every interior design; their smoking area is my fav because it gives me a fancy black atmosphere, their non-smoking area is pretty elegant too because they chose gold & brown colour to bring the customers into elegance vibes. Overall, super cozy and fancy and of course Instagramable!! (10/10)

🧆 Gustavo Snitzel (9/10), Rp.74.000 🫕 Lasagna (4/10), Rp.77.000 🫕 Shakshouka (7/10), Rp.52.000 🫕 Savory Dutch Baby (9/10), Rp.49.000 🍝 Baked Spaghetti (10/10), Rp.69.000 🍛 Creamy Chicken Basil (10/10), Rp.64.000 🍛 Butter Chicken Caserole (7/10), Rp.59.000 🍱 Cheese Filled Beef Katsu (10/10), Rp.69.000 🍷 Fruity Sangria (7/10), Rp.40.000 🍹 Valencia de Curacao (9/10), Rp.45.000 🍹 Blackberry Barley (9/10), Rp.45.000 🧉 Cheesecake Smoothie (8/10), Rp.49.000 🧉 Nutellate (5/10), Rp.49.000 🍴 F&B: Baked Spaghetti, Creamy Chicken Basil, Gustavo Snitzel, and Cheese Filled Beef Katsu are my fav!!! The Baked Spaghetti is super creamy and cheesy! This one is really recommended for creamy and cheesy lovers! Creamy Chicken Basil is unbelievable too, the creamy sauce is sooo thick and creamy but it has a special herb flavour so for me it’s unique and delicious! The Gustavo Snitzel is quite good too, the crushed beef is so soft and the gravy sauce taste is so delicious and balanced, I love the lyonaise potatoes too on this menu! The Cheese Filled Beef Katsu is recommended for whom wanna feel fulled, it’s served with rice and the katsu is big! The taste is soo balance, the sweet, savory, and salty are good! I like the Shakshouka but it smells a lil bit bad of raw egg for me. I really love the Savory Baby Dutch!! The pancake is so soft and the mushroom sauce is really tasty honestly and it used raw egg but it doesn’t smell bad as the Shakshouka. And the Lasagna for me has not quite good taste, for me, it tasted more like savory and salty, there is no sweet aspect in their fillings. All the drinks are super freshy and good to be honest! But the Nutellate one tasted like a basic latte, so nothing special. Overall for the F&Bs are good because people recommended this place for the steak so maybe their steak is amazing, my review just for non-steak...

Came for a dine-in with a friend a couple of days ago. The place is aesthetically pleasing. I ordered Captain Phillips Fish & Chips and Strawberry Mojito, they were pretty delectable.

However, I think improvement is needed from the brasserie.

My friend checked-in to the front desk asking if the Rp150,000 voucher she got has a minimum amount we should spend for it to be valid. It took the entire time we were there for them to confirm, when we were done with our dining. I expect something like this to be a common knowledge among the entire waiting staff so that there will be no delay in delivering the information, however trivial it may seem.

The service was okay, but I notice a rude gesture from the waitress, which made me super uncomfortable.

First, when I spelled out an order for a drink, the wait staff apparently didn't write it down (but this is more likely on me, because I didn't make eye contact when I mention my drink order. She eventually wrote it down at the end).

Second, my friend couldn't finish her main course, so I got up from my seat with a leftover plate in my hand heading toward the front desk for it to be packed for a takeaway (since the other waiting staff are busy). I handed over the plate to the same person who waits our table, but she didn't make any eye contact at all and walked into the kitchen without saying anything, just like that.

I just... don't understand what happened that day? I was confused and definitely a little upset by this minor inconvenience, it's rather fatal for a restaurant this good to be lacking in hospitality, even just from one wait staff.

I don't think I will come to this place again for a...

Came here from the good reviews.

LOST FIRST APPETITE We went to non-smoking area. The waiters placed a door stopper between the smoking area and non-smoking area. Obviously, we could smell cigarettes from the non-smoking area. We have a 3 year old daughter. Only after we asked them to close the door, did they close the door.

LOST SECOND APPETITE We moved to a table far from the smoking area. This time, the door from the kitchen was open using a door stopper. We asked to close the door because you don't want to be looking inside the dirty kitchen while fine dining. This time, they said they cannot close the door because it was restaurant policy. I am very sure this is not true. Sad how the owners are very negligent.

LOST THIRD APPETITE Every 15 minutes, a cleaner enters the area and cleans the ac duct using a dirty rag. Very disgusting to see when you are paying Rp. 450,000 for a porterhouse steak.

Porterhouse steak 400g was definately not worth Rp. 450,000. Half of it was bones and fat, with subpar quality of meet

Sop Buntut, forgot if we were eating sop buntut or sea water. It's that salty. Sad how restaurants don't take the effort to bring out the true flavor of the dish. All they do is paralyze your...
