“ We stayed in a rented apartment and were recommended this restaurant by our host and it was excellent. So good in fact we went back the following night. The food was excellent quality and so reasonably priced. It was served by friendly, helpful staff. ”
“ A good and straightforward bar/restaurant. Menu choices are typical of the Basque Region and varied. The bar is situated in quite a popular area of central Bilbao. Service was very good. Wine choices good too. We had Pulpo Gallega to share as a starter. 2nd course was Callos and Morros in Vizcaina sauce & Albondigas. Very tasty all round. Our reservation coincided with the 2nd half of Athletic Bilbao v Mallorca which was being shown on the TV. This added to the overall atmosphere as the local folks were cheering along. Worth a visit. ”
