One of those incredible dining experiences that leaves you with a glow…read more We were lucky to get a seat without reservations, right next to a window looking into the kitchen, so we got to watch the work behind the magic. After a couple minutes of struggle, the wait staff printed a copy of the menu in English for us. It ended up just being a road map, because we chose the 6 course chef's menu, and we were so glad we did. From the miso/jamon shooter as an appetitive, through starters like cuttlefish salad and marinated mackerel, ending in incredible main courses like a sou vide cod on cauliflower purée or the pork shoulder.... Each course was better than the last. Only two negatives... The dessert was a bit of a miss. A lemon meringue, the custard was to tart, and the almond cookie crust too salty. Also, the pace of dining was a bit rushed, and not the leisurely experience we've come to love about Spain. But those both were small complaints next to the wonderful dinner and incredible service. If you're in Bilbao, you must try this place.

When I walked inside I sat at the bar and it took forever to get the attention of the staff to get a table. I had questions about the menu and luckily one of the staff members spoke english and helped me pick out something. I came for lunch and they had a 2 course menu choice for 18-19 euros not including a drink (besides water) I got the sushi and the whitefish and potatoes (completely forgot what they called it) . The food was well done. The sushi was very fresh, soy sauce on the saltier side. The second dish was warm baked fish on cold potatoes and vegetables (called Lomo Merluza). The fish had a lot of flavor and the vegetables did not so it was a good medium in between. I also got a brownie and cafe con leche. The brownie was very rich and chocolatey. It had strawberry pieces on top that made my day. I honestly couldn't finish it because it was so rich. The food was filling and tasty but it was not worth the price (total came to 20,15). It wasn't mind blowing spectacular. I recommend but not if you're on a budget and maybe once in a blue moon.

The restaurant is fitted out very nicely but they don't have an outside seating area as it is away from the main promenade. The 3 course lunch comes in at 14Euro during the week, slightly more expensive on weekends. They also do have free wifi which was good as not one server spoke anything but Spanish. If you are an adventurous eater then that's not a problem, if you have allergies then you better translate what's on the menu. I went for a colourful salad as a starter, hake for my main and the waiter's recommendation for dessert: cheesecake. The salad was nice with lots of different leaves and veggies in it. The hake was nicely cooked but the courgette it was served with was cold and the potatoes were more like crisps. Cold and crunchy potato shavings. The dessert was my least favourite course, the cheesecake was very dry and didn't taste of anything really. The texture was very odd as if gelatine was added to it. Me no gusta. With a cortado and a glass of white wine my bill came to just over 17Euro which is too expensive for what it was.

The sushi rice was not firm enough, so that the sushi fell easily apart. The mayonnaise in the devil fish sushi wasn't evenly divided. Some of the rolls were overly spicy while some were ok. The seabass in the ceviche was tasteless, but the kalamansi juice was extremely good. The seabass was not marinated long enough. All in all the meal was pricey and the quality of the food was poor.
