A fun market area right along the river. Indoor and outdoor seating but hard to find a space on a lovely day - be patient as they do open up. Several different food options to choose from and beverages anything you can imagine ! Highly recommended and everything we tried was delicious read more

Wow, this has been billed as a wonderful spot and I have to say I agree. It's about a 20-minute walk from the Guggenheim and although it was a dreadfully rainy day we made it there basically ok. Unfortunately, it was about closing time so most of the many stalls were closed, but on the first floor, there were an incredible collection of Pintxo spots. This is a place where you can have lots of Basque specialties. The shrimp skewers were just incredible and I would never have thought that a mix of shrimp and peppers would be so incredible. Near the back are lots of shops with so many different treats that I can't remember them all, but it was sure worth trying them all. It was so much fun going to the various stalls and finding a nice spot to have a rainy lunch, but it was really worth it. So if you are ever in Bilbo, make sure to visit and leave enough time to try everything there. read more

Probably the most organized and broad market that I've visited in Spain. Mercado de la Ribera is practically a supermarket with clearly organized vendors that each specialize in their own food items. Butcher with fresh sliced iberico ham, fishmonger, cheese, green-grocer, and even a "hueveria". Yes, just eggs. There was even a stall that was completely dedicated to mushrooms. I mean, seriously. Nearly a dozen different varieties of mushrooms from portabello to shitake and all in between. Very neat! On the other side of the market, a number of restaurants and food stalls with ready-to-eat options and the usual configurations of pinxtos to be had. Well worth the stop but it does look like it gets very busy. If you're looking for nibbles or perhaps you have a small kitchen in your tourist apartment, here's the place to go to cook a meal. read more

Lovely market right in the heart of the city. Tons of fresh fare, tasty vermut, and people-watching. It's located on the right bank of the Nervion, so you can't miss it. Be sure to take some time, walk outside, and admire the scenery. read more

Wonderful stop for pintxos and a beer/sangria. Probably a dozen+ food stalls on first floor, some w/ stools at the bar, as well as a common eating area for all. Very lively atmosphere, to include televisions showing the most recent football games. On the 2d floor are market stalls for fish, beef, and some selling cheeses, olives/peppers, etc. Prices are very reasonable (about 1/3 less than what we paid for same meal in San Sebastián). Consider walking to the market along the river -- beautiful. Cheers! RS read more

Mercado de la Ribera - Farmers Market Near Me - Bilbao, BI

This is kind of a dual-function market. They have one section for buying produce and other ingredients, and a separate food court section. I liked the setup, because I've been to many other markets where the smell of fish, etc. permeates everything, so it was nice to have them separate. It's perfect for all your ham and cheese needs if you want something to take home. We stopped in the food court a couple of times during our trip, as it was really convenient and has ample seating, but there are definitely better restaurants and bars to try in the area. Overall, highly recommended. read more

You may find here mainly fresh fish, meats, charcuterie, and cheese. There are a few vegetable and fruit stands. There are also places to eat pintxos and have coffee or drinks if you so desire. We had a pretty nice breakfast here on a Saturday morning before getting on with our day! read more

Mercado de la Ribera - The bollo de mantequilla (on the right) is sweet and reportedly a breakfast staple - Farmers Market Near Me - Bilbao, BI

Mercado de la Ribera is a picture perfect market right in the heart of Bilbao. The market is split in two, with one side being a traditional market and the other having restaurants. On the market side, they have individual stalls for everything, which I absolutely loved. It smells amazing inside and EVERYTHING looked super fresh and delicious. On the restaurant side, they have different dining options available with plenty of seating and nice views. read more

Busy busy on a Saturday morning - and FYI it closes around 2 or 3 pm. Mercado de la Ribera is a fresh food market in Bilbao that's split into two sides: an actual cafeteria where you can order lunch and sit down, and a fresh food market with vendors selling meats, fish, cheeses and other goods. I wasn't hungry enough to have lunch just yet, but I walked slowly through the market's aisles and took in the environment: listening to the shouting across stalls, watching people carefully choose their meats, and sampling olives from the huge variety available. So fun! My friend ended up buying some fresh olives and cheeses as well as having lunch here and she said everything was delish. Come to eat and people watch and pretend to be a local! read more

Came here my last morning in Bilbao to grab some snacks for the plane and also some food to bring home after my two week bender on Basque food. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. We were here a bit before things got hoppin, but even at 8am on a Thursday morning, I was treated to a huge selection of stalls with beautiful fresh produce, proteins and cured/preserved products. We only had time to check out two floors but I am SO HAPPY that we did. In 25 minutes here, we did some serious damage. 5 packs of ham, a giant jar of anchovies and an equally giant tub of olives, beautiful dried peppers and lots more to enjoy for months to come. Definitely the place to be, when it comes to bringing home a bit of basque. read more

Forget buying lunch in an expensive restaurant or even a cheap and cheerful tapas joint, while you are in Bilbao the smart way to eat during the day is to shop in this fantastic local market and find somewhere to picnic at lunch time! Claimed by the city council to be Europe's largest covered market, the three-story Ribero is like a Portobello Road and Borough rolled into one brilliant super-market (note, not supermarket!!). Top quality produce of all kinds from bread to chorizo and fruit to fish and seafood are all here at wholesale prices we were spending EUR6 per day for a handsome lunch for two. The market looks great too hanging over the river and with a sandstone and window-fronted façade which makes it look more like a stately home than a municipal building. Brilliant! read more
