This review is for an event catered for our World Open Innovation Conference group at the…read moreGuggenheim Museum in Bilbao. We were gathered in the forum and tried various dishes brought out to us by servers. Having a social event at the Guggenheim was special in itself but I want to keep this review focused on the food. Some of my favorites are listed below: Savories: I was pleased to try one of the most traditional and basic pintxos, the Gilda. It consisted of green peppers in vinegar, anchovies in brine, and green olives. I could not stop eating them! Marinated cod in garlic oil was another winner, especially when paired with a glass of Rioja. I also enjoyed Beef steak tartar with anchovy, and Grisini of Iberic ham. Sweets: Both the desserts were superb. The Mini Carolina lemon and meringue tartlet was a feast for the eyes, but the caramelized French toast was so good I had two! Bilbao continues to exceed expectations - can't wait to see what comes next!

The food was as uninspired as the decor. I've eaten in…read morecountless Michelin restaurants and this was a major disappointment. Other than the Cherry Tomatoes in herb sauce and the Brioche with butter ice cream, every other course had the same bland taste. While the lack of any interior decoration could be attributed to an attempt to mimic an art gallery (I'm hoping that's what you were going for) with the single window as the "art", at least in a gallery, everyone has an opportunity to view the art from different angles; not so here. Disappointed and not recommending.

In talking to the GM he has worked together with the group for 28 years! Modern takes on deeply traditional Basque cuisine. An elegant dining room.

So great to see a familiar face after all these yeara

I…read morethoroughly enjoyed the experience, especially since I sat at the chefs counter and could watch each dish being prepared. We opted for the full 15 course menu and ordered a bottle of wine since wine pairing wasn't offered (perhaps because we were there for lunch). We do not eat beef or pork and the staff was very accommodating, offering substitutes for the couple of dishes that had it. While I enjoyed each dish, there weren't any that were a stand out. In fact, several had a sauce with a similar taste, like a slight hint of curry. On the other hand, some of the ingredients really packed a unique flavor punch, like the tiny mushrooms, white asparagus, and the fresh mustard seeds. The desserts (there were 4 different ones) were probably my favorite. The staff were all very nice and engaged in conversation throughout. Each dish was also perfectly timed. Each course came with it's own very unique dish ware and silverware that was locally made. Overall the experience was worth the price and I'd recommend Mina.

Was in Bilbao for work and was able to coordinate a small team dinner at Mina. The interior is a…read morevery comfortable and cozy environment; some of my guest were concerned about going to a Michelin rated restaurant and thought it would be more high-end attire for the guests etc., and were very happy to relax at the table. While the atmosphere is cozy the menu is set to wow you with colorful complexities to awaken you senses. Most of our group did the 15 course menu and the option for the 10 course wine pairing; the smaller menu is 10 courses with a 7 course wine pairing. The wine pairings are optional. Each course was not only unique in it's own way but the serving dishes and flatware were each of a unique design and texture adding to our already heightened senses. The wines paired with the courses are all local regional wines. So if you want to try something new go for the pairing. My only recommendation to the staff for future consideration is to maybe have a printed menu on the wine pairing; as Spanish was not our native language it was a bit hard for us to follow the verbal descriptions from the staff. Very professional service as one would expect and very well paced. That being said our evening at Mina did last for about 3.5 hours. So plan to enjoy and not to rush out. Will do again during a future trip to the region.
