The decor is absolutely stunning! Beautiful place, classic 1903 Spanish style and good wines and pintxos for €1.70. The older waiter is so dedicated, he's the best!

Carlos Besga

Defined as 'the place you would bring your mum to', this is a must in any visit to Bilbao. Impressive classic decor. Nice pintxos and lunch menus . 'Moorish' lamb skewers . Free Wi-Fi. High prices.

Marianne Brandt

Fantastic atmosphere for pintxos and lamb skewers . The building inside is really beautiful, old tiles and lovely ceiling and they have been open since 1903.

Emilien Hoet

Lamb skewers were delicious. Also worth coming for a sit down dinner - their 23 euro lunch menu is extremely good value : we had superb asparagus , succulent mushroom risotto and tender tuna steak !

Damon Sununtnasuk

Two extremes - perhaps the most rude service we've ever witnessed in all of Spain, but the most beautiful pintxos bar in Spain. Ask for the "pintxo moruno " - lamb skewer .

Rebecca Wright

Sit at the beautiful bar , take a vino tinto (red wine ) and snack on some pinxtos . Friendly staff and great food.

Briony Wickenden

Tapas and chaotic Basque atmosphere but you have to be tall to sit on the bar stools! Many abuelas can only stand at the tables! Noisy and wonderful! 13euros for 2 Cana, tortilla , etc.

Wenyan Zhang

10 euros for 6 random pinchos picked by the waiter , all very good! Valued deal! The pintxos morunos are delicious!!! Free wifi .

Natalie Marioni

Don’t miss out on the lamb skewers . You order from the guy grilling them in the corner to the left as you walk in the door. 2.50€ per skewer . Pintxos and drinks are ordered from the bar proper.

Bernard VAN DE VEN

Beautiful authentic cafe ... very nice tapas bars and a more formal seating area. Decor dates from 1903. Friendly service and very affordable .

Roberto Yanguas

Love this place. It’s a classic. On the top of being a beautiful bar/restaurant, the food is top-notch. Traditional and superb.

The barbecued lamb skewers by Ahmed are outstanding. We came last night and returned again tonight. Fair priced food and drink in a wonderfully authentic setting.

David Zaza

Didn’t love it. Gorgeous interior and flavorless food for lunch . Perhaps coming for tapas and a drink and enjoying the atmosphere is the better approach? ????

Ana López de Silanes

Try cod is really good. Food was disappointing. The dessert , we try it and left it like that... We had rissoto, totally begginers recipe, steak was okeish although served raw at first....

Jaime T G

Fantastic lamb skewers , you have to buy them in a different section , amazing smoky taste

Mathieu Van Parys

Fantastic food, friendly waiters and all for a very good price! Tip: the red house wine is very good.

Emilia

The most tasty pintxos I've eaten! Very traditional, you can't miss this if you are in Bilbao

Great local place to have some food and drinks (coffee , bet, wine )

We came during lunchtime. There was a set menu you have to take. the items were ok, oversalted mostly. The waiters very rushed. The interior is nice. A bit overhyped

Sit at the bar , eat some tapas (ok, could be better), watch people, chat with a barman about mudejar's ornaments.

Dmitry Rodionov

Weekend lunch menu 20€: a starter, a main dish, a dessert and a bottle of wine . Nice and tasty!

eaguilera

good place for lunch during weekdays, or for a quick coffee , pintxos , or a refreshment. Also you can have delicious "pintxos morunos " meat on a stick, every evening. Quit good.

Andrej Drapal

A must place for pinchos in Bilbao. Lamb skewers , of course, but the whole ambience even more.

A lovely atmosphere, brilliant for people watching and, as expected, pintxos morunos were delicious.
