    A sugar envelope

    Opened in 1903, this cafe is a classical when in Bilbao. I use to go there for a coffee, and enjoy watching the decorated walls (arabesque style, with views of the Alhambra and Andalucia) and the classy atmosphere.

    Is a nice place to meet at night and start the night here...

    They have a wide variety of "pintxos" (basque country tapas) for the vefore lunch "aperitivos" or you can have a proper meal "a la carte".

  • Garcia Rivera has a collection of bars offering a range of pintxos. Running from Or Konpon on Poza itself, to Marakay, on Rodriguez Arias, are a fine selection of bars.

    There is a mini-seafood market where on Sundays you can buy everthing from cooked lobster to Winkles, as well as a bar specialising in Basque cheese pintxos.

    Looks like a conference room that is filled with round tables but the food is wonderful. They offer a three course menu and all meals are the same price. Its usually frequented by the workers of the technological park next door but dont let that deter you from trying it.

    Redbean soup.

  • Victor Montez, on Plaza Nueva in the Casco Viejo, does great pintxos (tapas) and has lovely ornate decor. While you are there, count all the whisky bottles!

  • This restaurant, located close to plaza indautxu, is comfortable and (for Bilbao) spacious. This is important when you have a young family!

    The restaurant service is friendly and helpful, and has a range of set menus. E.g. A Saturday menu especial (3 courses with ine) at 18 Euros, a weekday menu at about 9 Euro.

    The dining room (comedor) is located (like many in Bilbao) through the back of the bar area.

    The fish is usually very good

    This place is located in Getxo, a town close to Bilbao, you can get the underground in Bilbao to the station called Bidezabal and walk from there. the restaurant is a windmill on the top of a cliff, the views are amazing, and if you have time you can go for a walk. Although the restaurant is more expensive than the average, the food is very good, especially the seafood.

    Our friends showed us how to dine economically and yet still enjoy local cusine. Many restaurants offer a daily menu. You get 2 courses, a dessert, and a bottle of red wine. The whole meal was only 8 euros per person!
    For the first course you chose from a collection of starters. The second course usually offered a few meat and a few fish meals. Dessert was from a choice of 3 or 4 selections.

    the mushrooms in sauce for the starter
    the flán for dessert
    (can't remember the main course i had!)
    (must have been that red wine obscuring my memory)

  • A pleasant Bilbao pintxo bar that also does lunchtime menu del dia in a dungeon below stairs during the week.

    The bar has tables out in summer and offers a good range of pintxos.

    Often find ourselves in a curry house on a Friday evening on our travels, Bilbao no exception.
    Good vegetarian choices tempted us inside and food nicely prepared and tasty.
    Pretty busy while we were therebut service quick and friendly, enjoyed our visit.
    Not sure about the spelling?
