  • These two bar-restaurants both offer menus and have tables outside for most of the year, being in a sheltered position. (along with Bar Atlanta located around the corner).

    They are typical Bilbao bar-restaurantes offering decent food.

  • This small bar/restaurant is typical of those of Bilbao, offering pintxos at the bar and menus to sit at table.

  • Pleasant pintxo and racion bar in the casco. Look for the mark on the pillar showing how high the floods got to in 1983!

    Burger King: The American Cidreria

  • You may hear Burger King referred to as the American Cidreria.

    If you go hear to eat then you are either:
    1) Feeling intolerably homesick, or
    2) The wrong person to be in Spain.

    The Spanish don;t do fast food very well. It is not fast for a start. Get in the bars and eat Pintxos. If you want more, you will get better quality going to a cafeteria for a plato combinado

  • The cafe of the Hotel Bella Artes has a pleasant terrace in Parque de Dona Casilda on which you can sit and watch the world goes by.

    Stop press: In 2004, they seem not to have the tables outside. The cafe is pleasant and spacious inside, so is still recommended

  • At the Guggeheim you've got a real good, real busy and real expensive restaurant for which you have to make a reservation ages in advance, but....

    You also got the cafetaria snake at the first floor. They got delicious pintxos and sandwiches and it very stylish decorated.

  • This cafeteria is conveniently located next to the Teatro Ayala, but otherwise has little to recommend it over the plethora of other bars in the city.

  • This bar restaurant has little to either recommend it or condemn it. It offers a standard range of drinks and pintxos.

    It has one positive - being quite large it is possible to get pushchairs easily inside - no always the case in some smaller bars.

  • This pintxo bar, just by the Diputacion is located on a corner of two paved streets and in summer has tables outside. They do a nice range of pintxos.

    In my opinion not as good as those in nearby La Viña but still good. Worth a visit. Better, go to both and compare. They are very different bars in style
