Things to do in Getxo
1. Pulcinella

Reviewed By AriesRod - Portsmouth, United Kingdom
After Reading the other reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to give Pulcinella a try. We walked 1.25 miles to the location shown on the map on Trip Advisor and on the restaurants own web site only to find it wasn't there. We eventually discovered it was within 100m of where we had started, close to the Puente Colgante. We never got to try the food as the waiter was so rude and unhelpful that we walked out half way through ordering. We will never go there again.

We went back to the Karola after an year, having always held it in high esteem. Extremely disappointing. Prices are still expensive or have gone up, quality has gone down.
The service was bad. We were literally bullied into ordering another dish after having repeated several times that we didn't want to; the only other time this happened was in a cheap Chinese restaurant in Soho many many years ago.
Breakdown:
Jamón, which used to be of exceptional quality and decent quantity, is now much reduced in both. No way that is worth 21 euros.
The dozen prawns from Huelva were insipid, small and totally overpriced at 27 euros.
The octupus dish was horrible, with a few pieces of octupus on an insipid mushroom puree, with fried eggs and bits of ham: totally senseless dish which will set you back 18 euros
A fish that I can get for 15-17/kg euros in the market was finally charged at 81 euros for one that was barely over a kilo!
The mango sorbet was out of a tin. Too artificially sweet. Cheeses were ordinary.
Crossed off my list forever.
Cancelo mi recomendación de este restaurante. Ahora es malo y caro.
Nos obligaron casi ha pedir un palto extra que no queriamos, a mi solamente me ha pasado esto hace muchos años en un restaurane Chino barato.
El jamón sigue teniendo el precio de 21 euros, pero ahora es de calidad muy ordinaria, y la cantidad se ha reducido mucho.
Las gambas de Huelva- 1 docena - pequeñas, insipidas, y a 27 euros, totalmente pasadas de precio.
El plato de pulpo (que la camarera casi nos obligo a pedir, a insistir tanto), malo donde haya. Poco pulpo, unos champis en puré (la supuesta salsa de boletus), un huevo frito que no se que pintaba aqui junto con unas tiras de jamón. Lamentable y con precio de 18 euros...
Un pez de poco mas de un kilo, que se compra en el mercado por unos 15-17 euros/kg, nos cobraron a 81 euros! Es un San Martin, no un besugo señores.
Los postres en la misma linea: un sorbete muy dulce con sabor sirope de mango de lata, unos quesos sin mas.
Totalmente inadmisible, decepcionante, y nunca volveremos. Antes llevabamos alli gente de fuera para comer pescado/marisco, pero nunca mas.

We visited this unassuming restaurant in a pedestrian side road two evenings in a week.
Both evenings ( and they are only open between 9-11 pm in the evenings), we were the only diners.
Absolutely delicious local food , big portions and friendly service for a very reasonable price.
A real find!

A small bar that serves good burgers made with real beef and other fast foods. A haunt of the middle aged local's. Good for a cheap dinner and a drink with the locals.

Living at Bilbao, I do not need a hotel, however recently we had a dinner party there in the lovely restaurant to give farewell to one of our friends. We entered with high expectations, but left the place quite disappointed for several reasons.
Service was o.k., however none of the waiters cared to fill up the glasses later on.
The entrance dishes were up to expectations, but the main course was some sort of a pitfall.
It consisted of a grilled rape (devilfish) with a side dish of fine cut chipirones in su tinta (calamaries in their ink). The devilfish was dry - most probably deep frozen, the chipirones quite hard. If I would have cooked this at home, I would have said: not my best day...
The dessert again was one of these "industrial-type" cakes, nothing special.
The worst of all was the mens lavatory, just a mess. So I complained at one of the waitresses.
Later on we went to the bar and dancing place. As there were a lot of persons present, temperature was quite high and combined with the high humidity it was quite uncomfortable. I asked the barman to increase the air-conditioning or to open a door. He told me hat air-conditioning was already at maximum and the door can not be opened because it is broken.
Needless to say, the door was labelled as emergency exit...Any further question?

We went for lunch. Most restaurants in Europe have menus in English in addition to their native menus. This one did not. We lost a little in the translation. Any small substitutions we asked for were met by the waitress saying "it would be too difficult". So we ended up with some weird concoctions. It was very basic inside too. weill not be back to this one.

We had a walk along the harbour front from the Puente Bizkaia to the Molino De Alixerrota (the windmill in Andra Mari) and on the way back we stopped off at this bar for some a beer and a couple of Pinchos in the old fishing village Algorta over looking Bilbao Harbour. The choice of Tapas was great, I wanted to try them all! We had a glass of Mahon Classic beer, which was pretty tasty and then went back for a few glasses of the local white wine taxolin. The guy behind the bar was very friendly doing his best to explain how to pronounce the wine, I'm hopeless at that type of thing. I gave him all my change to pay for the wine and he gave me back a five euro note, obviously needed the change! As the photos show its set in a nice square under the cover of a couple of plane trees.
There is no table service, you order at the bar and if your ordering other than the Pinchos a bell rings and a number is shouted out for your order.
Most enjoyable lunch, but my head doesn't currently agree!

Reviewed By FiLeguille - Getxo, Spain
Pedimos un menu cerrado con ibericos de entrante , correcto aunque poco jamón para mi gusto, eso si estaba muy bueno. Luego nos traen croquetas enlugar de espárragos, muy buenas. Y una ensalada de ventresca con balsámico de módena . De segundo txuleton para casi todos de guarnición trae patatas fritas, traen un pequeño fuego para que le des el punto a la carne, se genera bastante humo en el local. De postre no nos ofrecieron opciones y nos sacaron dos platos al centro con una tarta de arroz troceada con nata montada y sirope de fresa. Es curioso que traen la comida de un local situado en otro edificio y las camareras vienen andando por la acera con la comida. Nose hasta que punto es eso legal pero la verdad que cenamos agusto! El pan tambien de calidad. Vino incluido un armentia de madrazo de La Rioja, igual se podrian estirar un poco mas con eso... resumiendo, todo ok
Recomendable precio del menu 36€ si no recuerdo mal
