Restaurante Aura — Restaurant in Bilbao

We had an absolutely delicious lunch here. Lucky for us, we managed to get a reservation for four – during the meal, several people came in hoping for a table, but the place was fully booked.

A big shout-out to the chef, who’s clearly turned cooking into an art form. The food is honest, authentic, and full of rich, surprising flavors.

You can choose from starters, mains, and desserts. We shared two starters, each had a main, and finished with two desserts to share – every single dish was finger-licking good. The flavor combinations were original and the ingredients tasted super fresh. The friendly service made the whole experience even better.

A cozy and tasty spot we’ll definitely remember. Highly recommended for food lovers!

Best dish was the cheesecake dessert. It has a nice twist of warmth and an element of a stronger cheese like camembert which makes it a good surprise. Definitely worth a visit and will want to try the lamb...

Stellar service and good food! They start you off with a super delish porcini mushroom soup. Then we ordered the kimchi and mushroom croquetas. They come 3 of each. The mushroom were very full of flavor and lightly crunchy. The kimchi lacked a kimchi flavor. They were mostly the flavor of chicken. We tried the pulpo and it was not the best I’ve had but not the worst by far. It was a little fishy flavored and slimy. The chimichurri sauce was flavorful and slightly sweet. The duck was well cooked with sweet sauce. It was a nice combo with the squash purée and sprouts. Txakoli was delightful and so were the end of the...
