Restaurante Blanco y Negro Bilbao — Restaurant in Bilbao

We made a booking one month in advance, table for seven , no restrictions at that time. One hour before the lunch we were obligated to have a menu. By the time we reach the restaurant we found out that the other tables were ordering what they wanted. We were served a salad which was taken from a plastic bag (in summer in Spain, fresh lettuce is easier to find than Wally in a comic). Nothing is cooked in place. We ordered vegan rolls for 2 and no vegan for five, how unbelievable was that that the two vegans dish was double the five non vegans… They have an open window to the preparation room (kitchen) And I could see how unhappy the salad preparatory was, the guy was taking the jam from a plastic slices packs and as we are in Spain, where you can find cut jam everywhere … this gives you an insight of the low quality you will eat. We were attended after all the other people which by the way arrived later than us. We were not in a hurry and I would have not complained but please, see the pictures of the food and since the kitchen had a window I could see how the guy in the kitchen was preparing the dishes. The cheese cake was tasty and the bathroom quite clean with paper and soap. I don’t recommend this place. We tried to approach the mètre as we thought it was a bad or hard day and his answer was that we you could have gone to another place. In such an important day in Bilbao you must book in advance so that was not an option at all… I don’t know what happened to this place as it used to be nice and with good treat and food There are many restaurants around, don’t threaten yourself and book...

Well, what a find for us! We walked past this place Monday when it was closed, but I took a photo of the vintage sign outside. Passing today we found it open so popped in. Local craft beers are dispensed over 7 taps. I decided to try the apricot sour. Great condition. There was a very tempting cheesecake looking cake on the counter, so I thought I’d give it a try. Turns out it’s a baked lemon cake. The pairing of that with my apricot sour was my culinary highlight of the day.

The menu looks interesting, and I’d like to try the food at another time when we return. The barman was friendly and chatty with us. He’s recommended another craft beer joint that he loves so that’s next on our walkabout of the day. For me this has been my favourite find of my current...

📝Hoy subimos la penúltima publicación del viaje a #bilbao , visitando @blancoynegrobilbao . La comida estuvo muy bien, las gyozas de las mas buenas que hemos comido, crujientes. Ensaladilla rusa de la casa es tal cual, porque es la ensaladilla que hemos comido toda la vida. En cuanto al cachopo, a nosotros no nos gustó demasiado, la cezina le da un sabor muy peculiar, echamos en falta mas queso y el jamón o jamón york en el interior. La tarta de queso, SIEMPRE SIN SIROPE, no nos cansaremos de decirlo, el sirope le quita todo el sabor, siempre se debe de servir sin nada, o en su defecto el sirope en un lado, que no manche el sabor. En resumen, estaba todo muy bueno, nos quedamos con ganas de probar más platos. El trato del personal en todo momento fue muy bueno, atentos, sabiendo llevar el comedor que estaba lleno, y la cocina sacando platos en tiempo. Disponen de menú entre semana. La decoración antigua del local nos encantó, te hace sentir como en las casas de los/as abuelos/as, con la vajilla de toda la vida, marrón transparente, un sitio acogedor. Reservad por teléfono o...
