German spot in the Basque country? Yeah, why not! Great atmosphere, good sausage, cold drinks…read more Prost!

I decided to try something a little different after having tasted numerous pintxos the two evenings…read moreprior, so I went with something difficult to find in Portugal where I live. German food .... HOOAH! Ein Prosit looked to be the more authentic of the three I could find and I planned on being in that area around lunchtime anyway, so I stepped through the doors of what reminded me somewhat of places I have been in Germany. Quite a few folks were enjoying authentic German beers and I settled on a tasty, very dark dopplebock (€5.50 for a large glass). A large, warm, crusty and yummy bread roll came along with my beer, but, alas, there was not a pat of butter in sight, much to my chagrin. I had not had a decent schnitzel in quite a while, so I ordered the Jägerschnitzel (€11.90 - Schnitzel with Mushroom Gravy). I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived with a creamy sauce instead of the usual brown gravy, being more reminiscent of a Rahmschnitzel than a Jägerschnitzel. The schnitzel was good size and the pork was very tender, but I could have used a bit more sauce and fried potatoes or spätzle than french fries. The small salad also on the plate was very fresh and tasty. My meal was a good value overall, coming in at €17.20, including the beer and schnitzel plate. The staff were also very friendly and efficient, so I can highly recommend Ein Prosit for a change of pace when visiting downtown Bilbao. CombatCritic Gives Ein Prosit 7 Bombs Out Of 10 ...
