The "breakfast pinxtos" were fun - I didn't realize I could have asked for French Toast and stuff until after. Someone else had the french toast and it looked so good! But my slice of tortilla española / tortilla de patatas was filling and tasty. We also got croissants and some little tarts. It's not a fancy place, it's a bar. The staff was SO friendly and a lot of locals go here. It's a nice, local Bilbao experience.

Our bartender grabbed the icecubes for my drink with his hands. Luckily, I'm not squeamish. We paid cash and sat down. They clearly wanted everyone out before midnight. They were hauling in their chairs to stack. There were bugs crawling all over the bar. I watched them scurry and hide in the cracks. The room is really neat, but needs a good scrub. The bar stools that have cracked covers need attention. I wish I'd had a chance to eat the famous lamb pinchos. The pictures looked yummy. Prices were decent. There is outdoor seating available.

Definitely a must stop while in Bilbao…read more Unfortunately, we were already quite full by the time we arrived to Cafe Iruña Colon de Larreategui since we were having a day of gastronomy. We ordered a few pinxtos, but unfortunately, I cannot remember exactly what we ordered. However, I do remember that we all enjoyed what we ordered...whatever it was. ;) The service is pretty straightforward and the staff was nice and very helpful in helping us decided what to try. I will say that the overall ambiance was beautiful because the restaurant/cafe has retained a lot of the aesthetic from when it opened in the early 1900s. As a tourist, I thought the prices of the pinxtos and wines were pretty reasonable. Perhaps, if we visit Bilbao again, we should make Cafe Iruña our first stop.

This small place is really nice, to be recommended with extremely good value for money breakfasts and brunches. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

The place is well designed, and fun designed. They also have battery chargers for urgent needs, as you can see on the picture.
