Recommended here by our free walking tour guide. It is in Plaza Nueva in Bilbao, one of the touristic sights. It was crowded at lunch and there was no space in the ground floor so we requested to go to the second floor and the staff kindly obliged. Staff was also very helpful and we were the only guests on the second floor, having a sit down lunch (as compared to the more typical stand up pinxtos). Food was delicious, portions were big, and I don’t even think there was a higher price tag considering the touristic location.

Horrible experience for raw food. Staff pushing me physically basically assault. Forced me to pay even though sent meal back which was raw. Waiting an hour. All wrong food. Lied about my meal. Scammers and most aggressive experience ever avoid. One staff member -man grey hair and balding in some parts pushed me physically several times. Making formal complaint to Bilbao tourism. Worst ever dining experience. Do not understand other reviews. Thug staff.

The pintxos were really tasty with an endless amount of options to choose from. I was lucky enough to find a table outside and the two waiters I interacted with were super friendly and gave recommendations of what to pick. I also ordered from the kitchen the fried calamari that I didn’t enjoy. They were oily and nothing special (a huge portion though). I didn’t have a chance to try anything else from the kitchen menu.

I visited this cafe to try the traditional Bilbao breakfast, and it did not disappoint! The food was fresh and flavorful, with a perfect balance of local ingredients. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it an ideal spot to start the day. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. If you're in Bilbao, I highly recommend stopping by for a true taste of the local culture!

Helpful staff. There is table service, but you should go up to the (usually crowded) bar and pick your pintxos. Calamari platter is nice. Had a gin and tonic and the waiter just kept pouring the gin and asked me when to stop! I think it was a Triple double... Nice atmosphere and people come and go all the time. There is ample seating outside in the courtyard as well. Would recommend.

What a bustling Spanish atmosphere in this restaurant! It's a constant ebb and flow of people coming in to enjoy some pintxos. Grab a spot, pour yourself a good glass of wine, and select a few delightful dishes from the bar. The staff is authentically Spanish and speaks little to no English, adding to the local charm. This lively spot deserves nothing short of the highest praise.
