    (Translated by Google) We have been holding company dinners there (whenever circumstances have allowed) for years and the truth is that it never disappoints. The preparation of the food is delicious, at all times they take into account the tastes of the diner. The attention of the staff is absolutely unbeatable from the moment you walk through the door and the space is fully adaptable depending on the number of diners. Without a doubt, a place to return to for any type of celebration. (Original) Hemos estado celebrando cenas de empresa allí (siempre que las circunstancias lo han permitido) desde hace años y la verdad es que nunca decepciona. La elaboración de la comida es deliciosa, en todo momento tienen en cuenta los gustos del comensal. La atención del personal es absolutamente inmejorable desde el mismo momento en que entras por la puerta y el espacio totalmente adaptable en función del número de comensales. Sin duda un lugar al que volver para cualquier tipo de celebración.

    (Translated by Google) A traditional restaurant with a very attractive daily menu. The gazpacho, salad or peas, as starters, were excellent. The main ones are not far behind in flavor. Desserts are a bit simpler. However, the service is simply excellent and the quality/price ratio, for Bilbao, is very good. (Original) Un restaurante tradicional con un menú del día bastante atractivo. El gazpacho, la ensaladilla o los guisantes, como primeros, fueron excelentes. Los principales no se quedan atrás en sabor. Los postres son un poco más sencillos. Ahora bien, la atención es sencillamente excelente y la relación calidad/precio, para ser Bilbao, es muy buena.

    Stopped by for a quick bite after 13:15 and not too terribly busy yet but customers kept on coming in, the older gentleman was behind the bar was super busy but he was very tentatively to everyone and he was so nice and kind.. price was good as well. Hopefully we can come back again...

    This place has inacurate information on google. It’s not open for dinner and they do not offer any warm plates after lunch.

  • 5/5 Marc C. 11 months ago on Google
    Great discovery! Menu was excellent and service outstanding....atmosphere also great ! Really satisfied by this casual discovery!

  • 5/5 Neil M. 7 months ago on Google
    Coming from Ireland I decided to try local highly rated places. I'm glad I did. This place offered a two course meal and a beer for 16.50 euro. Unbelievable. Even more unbelievable was the food quality.. Absolutely delicious. Simple food well prepared. Really nice service from the waiter. All around the ratings were accurate. Worth a visit for quality no frills food in a traditional setting where most tables were for two seats only and clearly people came here to catch up and eat.

    6 Tuna was pretty solid but not special, egg with mayo was good but heavy mayo. Was a bit distracted, so prob worth trying again if nearby

  • 5/5 Daniel P. 10 months ago on Google
    Small place (only 10 tables) but good Basque cuisine for a reasonable price. Attentive service, even though only one waitress. I showed up early for lunch, and the other patrons who streamed in were all local business people on their lunch break. A strong option for menú del día. Even though they only offer an option of three first courses and three second courses, each one included a vegetarian option and a different choice of protein. Of course I went with the fish. Yum!

  • 5/5 Don M. 6 months ago on Google
    The garbanzo soup and fish were super, rich, and balanced. The leek salad was wonderfully dressed, tenderly cooked leeks with lettuce and tomato. The fish had a delicious sauteed vegetable side dish with flat green beans, zucchini, and some variety of onions

  • 5/5 D S S. 6 months ago on Google
    Very lively, hopping atmosphere. Everything tastes made from scratch. Delectable chick peas in a rich broth, heavy with puréed veg. It comes with bits of meat, slice of blood sausage, chorizo and veal bone with a bit of meat. Yum! Everything delicious and service friendly snd fast!

    (Translated by Google) Great value for money. Menu 10 euros and moderate drink. Good quality food. The menu is read out. At lunchtime quite full due to neighboring bank employees. Table reservation possible. No problem for two. (Original) Super Preis-Leistung. Menü 10 Euros und Getränk moderat. Essen qualitativ gut. Menü wird vorgelesen.

  • 5/5 noelia a. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We ate from the menu of the day, only 2nd course and dessert. Everything was very tasty, perhaps the only downside is the syrup on top of the cheese cake. The attention was very nice. (Original) Comimos de menú del día, solamente 2°plato y postre. Todo estaba muy rico, quizás la única pega es el sirope de encima de la tarta de queso. La atención fue muy buena.

👍👍 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...
