This is the best restaurant we have eaten at in Bilbao. When you first enter it looks like a…read morenormal Pintxos bar, but they have a very elegant dining room in back. They open for dinner at 9pm, and you will need reservations. We had our hotel arrange the reservation.
They specialize in Ribeye and fresh fish, both grilled. We ordered the Ox Chop Ribeye for two. It weighed over a Kilogram and was prepared to our request of medium-rare. It came with a fantastic amuse bouche of puréed squash soup and a bite of a seafood salad.
We split a fresh lettuce, tomato, grated cheese, and olive oil salad. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe and tasty. The steak was the best we have had in Spain. In my younger days I could have finished it all, but no more.
The service was very attentive and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We considered ordering grilled octopus as a starter and they said it would be to much. They were right.
It was not inexpensive (€171) but worth every euro. Can't recommend it enough.
