Bistro

One of the best pintxos bars in the Casco Viejo, run by a Basque family for decades. Hot pintxos come out of the oven every half-hour — don't miss the foie gras on brioche toast. Shoulder-to-shoulder atmosphere, authentic and unpretentious.
Calle Santa María 10, 48005 Bilbao
Seafood

Tiny pintxos bar in the old town, frequented by true Bilbaïnos rather than tourists. The salt-cod croquettes and txangurro (spider crab) on toasted bread are among the city's best. Arrive early or expect to stand.

Aitor Elizegi has transformed a former factory into an open and lively restaurant-concept, with kitchen visible from the dining room. Basque products worked in a modern way, accessible menu and daily lunch much favoured by Bilbaïnos from the Ensanche district. Good selection of local wines.

The Guggenheim museum's accessible option, quite different from the Michelin-starred Nerua. Gastronomic pintxos and reimagined Basque dishes in a Frank Gehry setting. Ideal for lunch after a museum visit without breaking the bank, with a terrace overlooking the museum forecourt.
Avenida Abandoibarra 2, 48009 Bilbao
Brasserie

Bilbao institution since 1903, with Moorish décor and period wood panelling now listed. People come for txakoli at the counter and traditional pintxos in an irreplaceable historic café atmosphere. The venue itself deserves a visit before you even order food.

Fernando Canales has relocated his Michelin-starred restaurant to a refined contemporary space in Abandoibarra. Creative Basque cuisine with Basque Country products worked with surgical precision. The Atelier menu is a serious exploration of Cantabrian terroir.

Bistro

Wine bar and restaurant in the Ensanche with an exceptional cellar of over 200 references, particularly in txakoli and Rioja. Iberian ham pintxos and market dishes perfectly complement a selection of wines by the glass. Frequented by serious wine enthusiasts of the city.

Seafood

In Europe's largest covered market, the Arteche stall is the benchmark for Cantabrian fish and shellfish sourced directly from the auction. Some stalls offer to cook on-site what you've just purchased. The authentic Bilbao market experience in all its glory.
Calle de la Ribera 22, 48005 Bilbao
Bistro

Family address in the Begoña neighbourhood, away from tourist circuits, specialising in grilled Basque breed meats on a charcoal grill. The txuletón (aged beef rib) is of rare quality, served rare as it should be. Simple setting, warm welcome, loyal neighbourhood clientele for 40 years.
Calle Hurtado de Amézaga 22, 48008 Bilbao
Fusion

Small Nordic-Basque address run by a Danish chef settled in Bilbao, who marries Scandinavian techniques and Basque Country products with surprising coherence. Single menu with multiple courses, intimate atmosphere and only 20 seats. Reservation essential several weeks in advance.

Michelin-starred table set in a former salt mine beside the Nervión, a stone's throw from the Ribera market. Álvaro Garrido offers highly personal author-driven Basque cuisine, with tasting menus that evolve with the seasons and daily catches. Exceptional value for the level.

The Guggenheim's fine dining table, directed by Josean Alija, one Michelin star. Minimalist and plant-based cuisine of great purity, which elevates Basque Country vegetables and herbs without overwhelming them. The glazed dining room overlooking the museum gardens is an exceptional setting.

Discreet address behind the Ribera market, specialising in grilled fish and shellfish from the Cantabrian coast. The kokotxas al pil-pil (cod cheeks in sauce) is a lesson in classic Basque cooking. Clientele of local professionals and families.

In the Euskalduna Palace overlooking the Nervión, Ricardo Pérez proposes carefully executed and accessible market-driven Basque cuisine. Lunch set menu is very popular, evening menu more elaborate. One of the city's best addresses for value and view.

Daniel García has run one of Bilbao's great classical tables since 1989, one Michelin star in a townhouse in the Ensanche district. High-traditional Basque-French cuisine, impeccable old-fashioned service. The wine list of Rioja and Ribera del Duero is a reference.
