Booked ahead and glad we did. Even on a Tuesday, there was a queue out the door. The buzz inside was nice, felt cozy and alive.

I had an incredible experience at this Michelin-starred restaurant. The food was not only beautifully presented but also packed with unique flavors. The service was attentive without being intrusive, which made the evening even more enjoyable.

The pintxos were spot on, especially with that cold Estrella Galicia. Everything tasted so fresh. Prices are really fair for the quality you get. Staff was lovely and kept things moving, even when it got busy. A solid find.

I had a delightful meal at Kimtxu, where the attentive service and cozy atmosphere made for a perfect dining experience. The dumplings were a standout, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked.

The Munich burger is my go-to for a quick lunch. They get it out fast, and it&#39;s always solid. Perfect for when you&#39;re in a rush. Grab it to go if you need to.

Been coming here for years. The terrace is still a nice spot, especially in the evening. Had the risotto and Marmitako again last night. Solid as always. The canoli was the highlight, though. A bit pricey, but you know what you&#39;re getting.

Popped in for a quick bite. The staff were so patient with my non-existent Spanish, really put us at ease. The patatas bravas were spot on. Nice, relaxed spot to unwind.

The chef came by to check on our meal, which was a nice touch. The wine pairing suggestion was spot on.

The wood-fired pizza crust is exactly what I wanted, thin and crispy. A comfortable spot to enjoy a simple meal.

Came here for a late lunch around 4pm. The meat platter for two was huge, honestly could have fed three. Good for the price, no complaints there.

This is a wonderful Greek restaurant. The food was fantastic, especially the baklava! Service was superb despite my terrible Spanish. Value was amazing.

Just stumbled in for lunch. The portions are huge, honestly couldn&#39;t finish it all. That home-style stew was exactly what I needed on a cold day. Kitchen knows what they&#39;re doing.

Solid dinner spot. The Mexican-Basque fusion is the real deal. Menus are huge, tough to finish a full meal. Their house mezcal flight was a smart pairing, cut through the richness nicely. A bit pricey, but the drinks are spot-on.

The 20&euro; menu del d&iacute;a was mostly good. The grilled octopus was tender, not rubbery at all. The pork cheek stew was rich and fell apart easily. The crema catalana was fine, but the sugar crust could have been a bit thicker.

Always my go-to for a quick lunch in Bilbao. Menu&rsquo;s got enough variety to keep it interesting. Service is fast, never kept waiting. Got the tortilla and a beer, done in 30 mins. Solid spot.

Service was efficient. Mentioned a dietary restriction, they handled it promptly with a custom plate. Attentive without being intrusive. Good for a business lunch.

Came here for a quick lunch. The croissant was warm and crisp, really good. Also tried the gluten-free bread, solid option. Got my order in under 5 minutes, perfect for a fast bite.

The salmon and focaccia salad was so fresh, you can tell it&#39;s all made on-site. The pear tart was lovely too. The whole place just feels clean and comfortable, with this chillout music in the background. Really nice for a quiet lunch.

Service was quick even when the restaurant was packed. Staff was attentive and friendly. My only note is that the water refills could be a bit more frequent, but overall a smooth experience.

The staff here are so friendly and attentive, even when it&#39;s packed. They really made us feel welcome.

The grilled octopus was the star. Perfectly charred, tender inside, with a smoky flavor that really stood out. The accompanying lemon aioli was a great match. Portion felt a bit small for the price, but the taste was spot on.

Spacious spot, perfect for our group of six. We grabbed a bunch of pintxos from the bar&mdash;each was just a couple of euros. Honestly, for the price, the variety and quality were spot on. The waitress was nice too.

The two-hour tasting menu was a journey. Each course built on the last. That duck with cherry sauce? Unreal. Felt like a proper night out.

The Iberian ham risotto with Idiazabal cheese was the standout on the &euro;28 set menu. Good value for the quality.

The set menu is a pretty good deal. Two courses, dessert, bread, and a bottle of wine for the price. The food was solid, and service was quick. A decent lunch.

Been coming here for years. The pintxos are always spot on, especially the croquetas. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. The place just feels reliable.

The staff was so patient with us, even when we struggled with the menu. And those tiny pastries and chocolates? I must have stared at the case for ten minutes trying to decide. A lovely, if slightly overwhelming, finish.

Been coming here for years, and their dark beer is still the best in town. Always consistent, pairs perfectly with the food. That&rsquo;s why I keep coming back.
