  • 5/5 Oscar Ortiz De Vallejuelo G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) As always enjoying one of the most recommended restaurants in Bilbao. Spectacular site, building with a farmhouse appearance with all kinds of details. The best views of Bilbao from mount artxanda. Good northern cuisine always leaves you with a very good taste in your mouth and a better memory. Perfectly cooked meats, fish and seafood of the highest quality. It is worth having the aperitif at the txoko, where you will find a spectacular knife-cut ham, and more than 1000 references of wines and different drinks. Chickpeas with lobster is one of the specialties. If you accept a recommendation, although I'm not into sweets, but leave room for dessert. Cheese cake, both hot and cold, or French toast on custard cream 😋 The staff is friendly. That is if you decide when to spend. But it is worth it. (Original) Como siempre disfrutando de uno de los restaurantes más recomendables de Bilbao. Sitio espectacular, edificio con aspecto de caserio con todo tipo de detalles. Las mejores vistas de Bilbao desde el monte artxanda. La buena cocina del norte te deja siempre un muy buen sabor de boca y un mejor recuerdo. Carnes, pescados y mariscos de altisima calidad perfectamente cocinados. Merece la pena tomar el aperitivo en el txoko, donde encontrarás un espectacular jamón cortado a cuchillo, y mas de 1000 referencias de vinos y diferentes bebidas. Garbanzos con bogavante es una de las especialidades. Si admites una recomendación, aunque yo no soy de dulces, pero deja sitio para el postre. Tarta de queso, tanto la caliente como la fría, o la torrija sobre crema de natillas 😋 El personal tiene un trato familiar. Eso si tu decides cuando gastar. Pero merece la pena.

    Overall good food and nice views over the city. Maybe a bit pricey based on what you get. Staff was friendly and accomodating.

    (Translated by Google) Second time we go and I lower a star for some detail that a restaurant like this cannot allow: 1-First we go down to the winery, where we order the red wine and a plate of loin, it is assumed that when you go up to the table, they They bring you the wine, but they had to ask us twice which one was ours. 2- There was a waiter who when singing the dishes from the menu, it seemed more like he was singing the menu of the day; We asked him for a half portion of chickpeas with lobster for the two of us to try and they got half for each one, it's not because the final price goes up a lot since we paid € 176 and what the chickpeas cost is a tiny part, but It seemed like a cucada to us. We were on the outdoor terrace and we were struck by the fact that the tents were quite shabby for the place that it is. Of course, we were served by another waitress who was charming and the one who later put the Scots on the terrace above an ax too, they yes they are in keeping with this restaurant. Anyway, in the general calculation, say that the food was excellent and that we will repeat, to see if I can give it the five stars again. (Original) Segunda vez que acudimos y le bajo una estrella por algún detalle que un restaurante como éste no se puede permitir: 1-Primeramente bajamos a la bodega, donde pedimos el tinto y un plato de lomo, se supone que cuando subes a la mesa, ellos te llevan el vino, pero nos tuvieron que preguntar en dos ocasiones cuál era el nuestro. 2- Había un camarero que al cantarte los platos de fuera de carta, parecía más bien que te estuviera cantando el menú del día; a este mismo le pedimos una media ración de garbanzos con bogavante para los 2 para probar y nos sacaron media para cada uno, no es porque suba mucho el precio final ya que pagamos 176€ y lo que cuestan los garbanzos es una ínfima parte, pero nos pareció una cucada. Estuvimos en la terraza exterior y nos llamó la atención que las carpa era bastante cutre para el sitio que es.Eso sí, nos atendió otra camarera que fue encantadora y el que después nos puso los escoceses en la terraza de arriba un hacha también , ellos sí que son acordes a este restaurante. De todas formas, en el cómputo general, decir que la comida estuvo excelente y que fijo que repetiremos, a ver si le puedo dar otra vez las cinco estrellas.

    (Translated by Google) A total success. When you arrive they offer you to go down to the cellar in case you want to choose the wine or to have a tapas of ham, I recommend going down since few restaurants have a cellar like that. The food was all delicious, what surprised us the most was the chickpea stew with lobster, we ordered half a reason for two people, it is good if you are going to try more things and it was spectacular without a doubt the best of all, the fish base with the Lobster made you want to dip it on your plate. The very rich crawfish croquettes and the baked cheesecake the best I have eaten to date. What we liked the least were the clams, which were very large since they are very different from the ones we eat in Alicante. For coffee we go upstairs that have sofas and tables to have a drink and you have views of all of Bilbao from the restaurant, it is as if you were in a viewpoint. The waiter who served us was very friendly and the covid security measures very strict, they have a machine that takes your temperature before entering and they put the menu on the table but you cannot touch it, in addition to having hydro-alcoholic gel. (Original) Un acierto totalmente. Cuando llegas te ofrecen bajar a la bodega por si quieres elegir el vino o para tomarte una tapa de jamón, recomiendo bajar ya que pocos restaurantes tienen una bodega como esa. La comida estaba toda riquísima, lo que más nos sorprendió fue el guiso de garbanzos con bogavante, nosotros pedimos media razón para dos personas está bien si vas a probar más cosas y estaba espectacular sin duda lo mejor de todo, la base de pescado con el bogavante te daban ganas de mojar en el plato. Las croquetas de cigala muy ricas y la tarta de queso al horno la mejor que he comido hasta el día de hoy. Lo que menos nos gustó fueron las almejas que eran muy grandes ya que son muy distintas a las que nos comemos por Alicante. Para el café subimos a la parte de arriba que tienen sofás y mesitas para tomar una copa y tienes vistas a todo Bilbao desde el restaurante, es como si estuvieses en un mirador. El camarero que nos atendió fue muy simpático y las medidas de seguridad covid muy estrictas, tienen una máquina que te toma la temperatura antes de entrar y te ponen la carta encima de la mesa pero no puedes tocarla, además de disponer de gel hidro alcoholico.

  • 5/5 Scottee M. 1 year ago on Google
    Set high on a hillside, this restaurant offers a magnificent view of Bilbao as well as delicious classic cuisine and lovely local wines. We started in the wine cellar, enjoying a glass of wine with a "snack" of anchovies. Then we were shown to our table on the main floor, our wine bottle transported on a dumbwaiter. We shared clams and snails, then I had a lovely steak and crispy potatoes while my husband enjoyed crispy fried squid. Even the gluteen free bread was fresh baked and perfect.

    Excellent food. Gorgeous views of Bilbao. Started the experience selecting wine and eating some starters in the winery. Had lunch in an outdoor terrace looking to the city from above. The chickpeas with crab were delicious. As main, we got a grilled fish which was very tasty and served in big portions. Ended with homemade desserts. The servants were very professional and paid attention to detail.

    (Translated by Google) The place is very cool, the food is not bad but for what it is ... the ration and the nanai flavor.

Each green pepper 11 € that if the only thing k was great, the sirloin 26 € and you see the amount, scallops 36 € and they did not taste anything ... a scam let's go (Original) El sitio esta chulisimo, la comida no esta mal pero para lo que es...la racion y el sabor nanai.

    (Translated by Google) We expected a lot more. Slow but attentive service. Hard chickpeas, not very tasty meatballs, regular turbot, good ribeye and acceptable toad. Disappointing and tasteless desserts. Nothing to do with what we had been told, and certainly not We believe that it is the best of Bilbao, yes, the very beautiful place and the excellent views. (Original) Esperábamos bastante más.Servicio lento pero atentos.Los garbanzos duros,las albóndigas poco sabrosas,el rodaballo regular,el chuletón bien y el sapito aceptable.Los postres decepcionantes e insípidos.Nada que ver con lo que nos habían contado,y desde luego no creemos que sea lo mejor de Bilbao.Eso sí,el sitio muy bonito y las vistas excelentes.

👍👍 We stumbled upon this place, which is odd, because my husband is such a foodie and usually knows about every hot place. After getting off the funicular, we wandered into we saw this beautiful spot. Inside, we started researching it on our phone and saw the rave reviews--including one from Anthony...
