A stop on the food tour, Basquery is half bakery and half brew pub and half tapas. It's a neat…read morespace that is below ground level and with lots of exposed brick and stone, a lot of character. I liked the place. The Basque region and Spain in general are really more about wine than they are about beer, so to find a brewpub - and a great one, at that - was unexpected and a terrific find. Typical brewpub beer menu on offer with an APA, an IPA, a session stout and a Golden Ale on tap. There is probably more, but this was enough for a taste of Bilbao's beer culture startup.

There was a stout, with great coffee notes but not too strong (I'm not normally a stout fan, but loved this one). There was a fruit beer with mango purée - that was my appetizer. Then I tried the Weiss-style, also delish, and an IPA. I was super hungry and over ordered, but I had a mixed meat and cheese board and patatas bravas, both of which were very tasty. Their in-house made bread was nice - crunchy crust and soft center. Definitely a little gem and worth a visit. They also have a rugby theme going, so good for all you rugby fans out there.

Highly recommend this place. Bilbao is known for Bollos de mantequilla, or rolls of butter. It's…read morebeen famous since the early 1800s. It's a sweet brioche with sugar sprinkled on it that's cut in half and filled with a sweet cream made of butter and eggs. So soft and sweet. Service was excellent! It's a beautiful shop! There was a line, and I didn't know what to get, and the nice lady told me that this is famous in Bilbao. 2.30 euros for one delicious ball. I wish I had gotten more!

Consider this: pastisseries in the old town (the touristy part, 10-15 min walk away) charges less than a euro for this, and prices are posted for all items. Even if their tart is twice as good, it still wouldn't be 3 EUR. I believe I was taken advantage of because I didn't ask for price, either that or this place is way over priced. Definitely better places elsewhere

I believe this place is a chain in Bilbao, but still delicious nonetheless. I myself enjoy the hot coffees but if you're craving a sweet iced coffee definitely check this place out.

So it's "kah-ro-LEE-nah". And according to the legend, the daughter of a baker liked to eat lots of his baked goods, especially the chocolates and the meringues. She was always getting her hands all sticky and dirty from the treats, so he came up with a way that she could eat them without getting sticky. A pastry base, which you can easily pick up, and then a swirl of meringue that's topped with honey and chocolate. It looks a lot like an ice cream cone, but it won't melt. And it's AWESOME. Delicious and a superb way to finish off a three hour walking tour of the great city of Bilbao. Confiarte also has an espresso machine and a few barstools if you're looking to get a coffee to enjoy with your sweetness.
