What a marvelous restaurant! We visited Bilbao for a wedding which then held their reception at this really nice spot. Right on Bilbaoâs beach with gorgeous sunsets most nights, this restaurant excels in providing yummy, exquisite food. Over three days, we ate a late lunch and a dinner in the dining room, and then were treated to a 6-course feast at the wedding reception. Every meal, every item served was well prepared, presented nicely, and was wonderfully tasty. We are planning a cruise that will see us in Bilbao next spring and we WILL eat here again! If you have the option for a place to eat in the area surrounding Bilbao, choosing Tamarises Izarra will make you very happy!

We had a nice experience having lunch here. This is the typical basque Baserri (a typycal house with history into the woods with typical waiters dressed in traditional customes). Nice starters and EXCELLENT meat. We had the typical basque "txuletón" with an average red wine. The only pitty is the price. In my opinion is a little bit expensive.

Bar Roma is a meeting place, in the center of the city. They make exquisite âtapasâ and "pintxos". Select wines from the country and very friendly people.

Being ranked No 1 in TripAdvisor can't be easy but after a few minutes, I totally understood why!!Don't be put off by the normal looking outside or unsmiling bar man (which I think was the owner). After a few minutes, he'll be explaining what the many tasty pintxos are & what wines he has, all in a patient & friendly manner.We had 7 amazing savoury pintxos (& we wanted to try so many more!) plus a cheesecake (which was amazing & light but just sweet enough), along with 3 red wines & an alcohol free beer. Imagine our utter amazement when the bill came to 14.80 EUR, I thought he must have calculated something wrong!! But no, that's how good value it is here.We're only in Bilbao for 5 days but I'll definitely be hoping we have time for another visit as the food was so tasty, the wines were so good & the service was spot on.Good morning SuzeyQ. Thank you very much for that wonderful description you make of your experience with us. From the heart, we are pleased to see that our effort bears fruit, and that you enjoy and make such a positive assessment of our products. Thank you for everything and we hope to see you here soon. Good trip and see you soon.

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 took a day trip out of Bilbao and stopped at this place after reading TripAdvisor reviews. It is just a neighbourhood bar but the food was great. There are pintxos for â¬1 on the bar but we went for raciones including delicious and perfectly cooked solomillo and lovely muscles cabredos in a spicy sauce. A real surprise and highly recommended.

This restaurant has been many years in the town. Despite the number of customers declining since they opened, the quality remains the same. I believe that the decrease is due to the current economic situation and that it is not anymore a "new" restaurant. What I mean with this is that people are not telling anymore "let´s go and try it" as they have been there already. I have the feeling that they could increase the number of customers they get if they changed their menu, as they have mostly been offering the same meal options all the time they've been open.The fixed menu has 4 courses with a very competitive price. As starters, there are 2 salads or juice. The next course consist in 2 different soups or gazpacho.. While The main course is the third on the list, but trust me, you will be quite satisfied before having it.. To end, you will have quite large variety to choose the dessert.This time I chose a salad, gazpacho, veggie stuffed peppers with spicy sauce and corn custard (those are awesome...)It is one of the best rooms to enjoy a dinner in that I can think of.

Restaurante moderno y acogedor. Menú del dÃa a 12 euros y fines de semana menús con reserva. Especialistas en vermut preparado y rabas.
Reviewed By lesleybilbao
This probably isn't in any tourist guide yet as it's in a suburb of Bilbao, but easily accessible from the metro and easy to find as it's in the main square. I went with a group to celebrate a friend's birthday and I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the food, the price and the service. I'm sure if we'd eaten that quality of innovative food anywhere in the centre of Bilbao it would have cost at least 3 times more. We had the tasting menu and the wonderful variety of dishes just kept coming and coming. Some surprising for their original mix of flavours, but all of them of exceptional quality. The staff were really friendly and efficient, giving explanations of all the dishes. I can't recommend it more highly as it was one of the best meals I've ever had and I'll be going back as soon as I can!

We were visiting the basketball woldcup in Bilbao at the expo center. Due to the crowds there was limited possibility to find good food but Sikera was a great catch. Sikera was good choise for both fathers and teenage sons. Local food, good service and affordable prices. Espesially good memories about Belota ham and nice sommelier Nerea.
