The lunch menu here sounded good, but unfortunately the kitchen was backed up and they said I wouldn't be able to order for at least half an hour. Instead I decided to have some of the pintxos, including a nice potato omelette. It's also a good spot to stop by for a coffee or a drink. Prices here are very reasonable considering the central location. I would definitely go back, and hopefully be able to try the lunch menu next time.

Best Sandwich in Bilbao…read more I will forever think about this sandwich. It's the kind of sandwich you travel to Bilbao just to have it. I've been to this place on 3 different occasions and each time it's been consistently good. It was the perfect amount of calamari, a crunchy fresh bread roll and just a light smear of a sauce. It's incredibly light. As for their other pintxos, you can opt for the pointing method by picking from what's behind the display or their daily menu. Both will offer solid options. You can't go wrong. Being that this place is located in Plaza Nueva you'll see a handful of spots offering what may look like similar dishes. They are not the same. Gure Toki is chic, it's delicious, it's a must visit.

The thing about sitting outside is that there are smokers. :/ The pinxtos are premade and just heated up. We tried txangurro (spider crab) gratin, artichoke in tempura, and crispy squid with onion. I was a bit disappointed, because I didn't care for any of them. The bread was quite crusty. I guess pinxtos aren't my thing.

One of the most colorful layouts of pintxos awaits at Zurekin, a tapas bar in the new city of…read moreBilbao! The classic tortilla made with egg, sliced potatoes, and lots of olive oil was juicy and succulent. The taco bonito was a rather dry but meaty chunk of tuna topped with chopped onions, tomatoes, and peppers, and plenty of olive oil. But the most unique pintxo I had came with two thick slices of creamy, melty brie cheese topped with a compote of mixed berries, and skewered with a mint leaf and a raspberry. Such a colorful melange of ingredients, and the sweetness of the berries had a nice contrast to the unctuous cheese!
