Dando la Brasa

Restaurant

👍👍 Absolutely outstanding. Please do not pass this by without trying. We enjoyed the most flavorful and perfectly tender vegetables, both types of steak and the margaritas were spot on. Incredible dinner at a superb price. By far my favorite meal while in Basque…. Sorry Pintxos…. You’ve got nothing on... People often mention menu, good, dishes, meal, atmosphere, staff, friendly,

    It was our first time in Bilbao and friend recommended us this place. The food was interesting and overall good. The service was really cold and unwelcoming. We ordered 5 course tasting menu each.The starter ceviche was the absolute highlight! Though each of the 3 mains came with almost exactly the same sides. We got no explanation if the cuisine, food itself or their degustation menu system. The first main was a peace of meat that we thought was tasteless and greasy. Only later after we asked what we had they said it was a neck part. The food came really quickly. We felt that they needed to free the table almost. The cocktail margarita at the end was really bad. 3 spoons of white refined sugar that was not dissolved, and cheap refined salt all over

    Visited the place twice, as the food and wines are fantastic. You can’t go wrong with either choice: meat or fish, however I would suggest the ribeye steak or the black cod. The staff is very friendly and helpful when choosing the food and drinks and are flexible when trying out the different wines. We were not being rushed and there is a lovely atmosphere inside. Can’t recommend it enough. For a pre-dinner drinks, opposite the road is a craft beer place, which has some good choices of local (and further a flied) brewed beers.

    Enjoyed the food, with an original South American twist, the butter fish and octopus (pulpo) were great, as was the cheescake, and a good atmosphere, relaxing, very quick service with a smile.

    Expensive and mediocre! I would recommend going somewhere else for dinner. :/ Beautiful location! Have a beer, not a meal!

    A real treat for a real meal. A fusion of Spanish and argentinian traditions, this restaurant offers real treats.

  • 3/5 Ruth F. 4 months ago on Google
    I was excited to see a restaurant that served both vegetarian and meat dishes! Lots of places in Bilbao do one or the other. I ordered the vegan tasting menu and my partner ordered the normal one. Great to see restaurants do interesting things with food. The ceviche was great. Some of the dishes were cold however (the empanada). The atmosphere was also a bit strange. We made a reservation for 8pm and it seemed like the staff were reluctant to serve us, and it took us quite a long time to get seated. It is a bar and a restaurant, so it felt a bit awkward eating a fancy meal in the middle of a bar. Overall was okay but not sure I’d return!

    Excellente!! Walking pass by and we saw it full, we look the menu and found very good plate ! Recommend, service good too.

  • 5/5 Mitch And L. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely place in very different part of town. I'm on a foodie extravaganza and this is the best meal I've eaten in weeks and I've been going large. Lovely wine, friendly staff and a menu to die for. Only took photos of menu until food arrived. Lots of tasting options too. I had the mollejitas (mollejas).

  • 5/5 Rey T. 6 months ago on Google
    A casual and upmarket fusion tapas restaurant featuring tapas set menus with Japanese inspiration. We took the 5 course vegan set menu which we were glad to find, though the course could have done with some more protein. Lovely drinks and ambiance. Reservation recommended but we got lucky and managed without one.

    Lots of decoration. Relaxing music. Tidy. Kicker table on the wall. Craft beer available. Limited vegan selection, but there was a tasting menu. Five relatively small dishes. I got reasonably full. Worth 30 euros. The service was also perfect. Some waiting time for all dishes. Perfect timing.

  • 5/5 Kim G. 5 months ago on Google
    Greatest dinner experience in a while. Friendly and helpful staff that even changed the tasting menu a bit for us. We had the 5 course vegan option and added two fish dishes to it. Each course was a flavour explosion and I highly recommend it, great price too!

    18eu lunch menu (starter, main course, dessert + drink) is amazing. Original & fine fresh food. Friendly staff aswell!

  • 5/5 Yeow Lih W. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing restaurant with an interesting and delicious menu. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Ensalada Cesarito was a textural treat with cold creamy miso ice cream and crispy duck patties. Towards the end the miso ice cream melted to become a rich dressing for the salad. Chilli crab was a unique and optimized version of Singapore chilli crab. Fried soft shell crab absorbed the sauce perfectly without having to deal with all the shell-cracking with regular chilli crab. The sauce could be improved to be spicier, tangy-er and sweeter, however.

  • 5/5 Melissa S. 4 years ago on Google
    The food and drinks are spectacular. I turned into THAT girl, taking pics of all the food...I mean, you HAVE to when your steak comes out still sizzling and bubbling sauce! The people who work here really care about doing a good job and are super nice - some even speak a little English. Go! You'll love it.

    This place is incredible! Since I’m vegan, the chef was able to recreate two dishes for me to eat and WOW! He did a fantastic job. Our server was attentive, sweet and made sure we were enjoying our experience. If you’re in Bilbao, stop by this little gem and enjoy!

  • 5/5 Philipp N. 2 years ago on Google
    We really enjoyed it. Very good value for money. I had the ceviche and the steak tartar. While the former was simply delicious, the latter was truly stellar. It is served inside a bone which was sliced in half, and I don't even know what exactly they added besides the meat, but it tasted like heaven. Duck tacos were also awesome ...

  • 5/5 Ineke van O. 2 years ago on Google
    We sat down randomly drawn in by the colors and chill attire. Great music, loved the style and laid-backness, though we were attended quick and friendly. Super tasty food, original and surprisingly served. Presentation did a lot, though the taste made it all. Vegan and vegetarian options. The chocolate vulcano ✨ sparkles, when served, and in your mouth as well - made me happy like a little girl. 🤣🤣 Not the cheapest, but couldn’t care less after such a tasty meal. Happily and positively surprised!
