Find out what International restaurants to try in Bilbao. Travelers generally come to Bilbao to see the Guggenheim—some for the art inside, but many for the amazing building itself. The Fine Arts Museum and the Basque Museum may not have been designed by Frank Gehry, but are worth a visit, and you can catch international opera stars at the Palacio Euskalduna.

200 meters far from the Guggenheim museum, this restaurant is a perfect choice to have a very good meal in a cozy and elegant location.The restaurant is chic and welcoming, quite big but still I would recommend to have a reservation (mainly evenings and weekends). We had a sit in what I believe is the best place you can have, close to the kitchen, where you can have a look at the chef while he's grilling meat and fish or finalizing his artworks.Quite some options in the menu, we had oysters as starters, as well as some croquettes (with octopus and with local ham), both delicious. We then had a warm starter with mushrooms, egg and potatoes, to eventually have two amazing meat based courses: dados de solomillo and a yakitori iberico. The menu is made of dishes that are supposed to be shared, to enjoy more than a single one while having lunch/dinner here.We paid 40 Euro each, a few glass of wine included. Not that expensive, for a meal experience that worths the visit.Dear @GregorioIndelicato, thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience; our staff will definitely be happy to read what you wrote.We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. So thanks for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again.Communication Team Basuki Restaurant

We were 4 and had trouble choosing so we ordered a lot of appetizers. The tomato salad was awesome - sweet, melt in your mouth delight with a touch or course salt. The Russian salad was the best - smooth creamy texture and packed with flavor. Also beautiful presentation. The scallops were perfectly seasoned. The grilled octopus was prepared perfectly. If you have room, the mushroom soup is silky smooth and packed with flavor.

We were totally blown away by the excellence of this little restaurant. Its simplicity in decor adds to the charm and gives no clue as to the magic which we were subsequently served. We'd heard about "the broccoli" and tried it.... fantastic. Every dish was innovative and beautifully presented. No way was this a meal of style over substance - it was total style and unbeatable substance.Thank you again for an unforgettable meal.

First of all, service is excellent. They really take time to make guests feel welcome and to explain the menu. We had the steak tartare, gyoza style dumplings, octopus, and the forest for dessert. Everything was tasty and well prepared. The dessert was absolutely beautiful! Also kudos for being flexible with portion sizing.
