Fantastic tapas bar! Everything was delicious, accurate and fresh!... The service is also excellent and the alcohol is also excellent....Recommended!

La Olla de Plaza Nueva is a rare blend of Pintxos and restaurant. The food is fantastic regardless. The service and management are friendly, efficient and fun. We went 4 times in a 5 day visit to Bilbao. The place is usually packed with occasional moments of quiet. Don't let a super busy place like this deter you. Everyone there is willing to help and speaks English should you need it. Kevin from Colombia is remarkable as a Pintxo bar server and also as a waiter. The place is very clean and served very fresh food. DONT MISS OUT ON A MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE! EARRA! La Olla!

Amazing experience. The food is really good and I was well treated

We ordered tuna and cod. The dishes were of poor quality and undeniably. My stomach ached because of cod. Waiter dosn't speak EN. We received piece of bread, which we didn't order,to wait for our main dish. And those one have show up on our receive. There is room for improve.

Great place. The service is really good. The portions are generous and tasty. The place has an eccentric vibe that suits it well.

(Translated by Google) Good food, quality / price, on the expensive side but worth it. (Original) Buena comida, calidad / precio , tirando a caro pero merece la pena.

Could spend the whole day walking round the square trying each bar. This one seems a bit more refined with extra effort to present the pintxos. Tried crab, black pudding, a "god only knows" mousse in a ceramic egg and carrot/pumpkin veggie. Silly Paulicarus ordered a Cruzcampo Gran Reserva..8.4%! Bright and airey bar.

The pintxos are incredibly successful and delicious, so much variety of seafood pintxos. We visited everyday for a late second breakfast, people are very lovely, the food very very good.

(Translated by Google) Very good skewers and good service ... (Original) Muy buenos pinchos y buena atención...

We had lunch and dinner here during the very, very noisy and crazy Fiesta in Bilbao 💃💃💃💃. The food was very good especially the Iberico Pork Steak for 2 people. Other pintxos and dishes were good too. Ruben helped us choose the food and took very good care of us despite the very crowded time. We will return here when we are in Bilbao again

True local dining experience. Our server, Marta was fabulous. We enjoyed all of her food and wine recommendations. Great atmosphere too. Highly recommend!

Superb selection of pintxos and super friendly staff (who had a good laugh helping us practice our Spanish). They had a few different type of tortilla (until now I’ve only ever had plain onion tortilla) - the iberico ham and manchego one was amazing. Ice cold beer and tasty food - what more can you ask for?

Beautiful food, wonderfull plaza. Delicious.

Thank you for a nixe first evening in bilbao. The pintxos are original and resemble kitchens from around the world. I was pleased to find some Asian inspired dishes: a pork belly hoisin pintxo and a duck tempura. Good for variance. The star was the steak which was freshly cooked and had a nice sear. Lovely red wine.

Delicious food, massive variety. Laid back, pleasant vibe

I loved this pintxo place! Among the multitude of options, had two vegan pintxos that were very delicious and satisfying! Great service and chill vibes.

Cheap and tasty. Very popular and with an excellent assort of wines from Rioja and Verdejo. Excellent pinchitos. I also recommend the cod omelette.

What a buzz at the Sunday market. And what a buzz inside La Olla. Locals and us gathering for their well known and price winning pintxos. Lots of vegetarian choices!! And did I mention the local drink Kalimotxo; half red wine, half Coca Cola (not Pepsi!!).

Robsie says “there is nothing to criticise”. That’s the wife’s seal of approval then! Great pinchos, vivid bar and food vibe - She’s right of course, as always 😊

One of the best pintxo spots in Plaza Nueva and therefore one of the best in the city. Their presentation is second to none and the service here is outstanding.

Amazing pintxos, very friendly staff and great wine. I suppose it is the best place on Plaza Nueva.

Great place for Pintxos, we really enjoyed the Warm Pintxos (Tuna and Scallops among other) Chocolate desert was the highlight of a great dinner

The pintxos were delicious (rabo de toro and bacalao are a must). I would have given it 5 starts if prices were a bit lower and the meat had been softer

(Translated by Google) We have come for the criticism and it has not disappointed. Great food, especially the scallops and chop taco. The scallops make you want to eat them from 10 to 10 and the taco to order the ribeye directly. Also highly recommended the zamburiña and the mini burger. We have been recommended especially with the wines and we have left with a very good feeling of the place. Recommended Amare and Baigorri wine. Very friendly staff. Without a doubt, if we have the opportunity we will return. Very good price quality, for € 40 we have had 8 tapas and 5 glasses of wine 👍 (Original) Hemos venido por las críticas y no ha defraudado. La comida buenisima, especialmente las vieiras y taco de chuleta. Las vieiras dan ganas de comerlas de 10 en 10 y el taco de pedir directamente el chuletón. También muy recomendado la zamburiña y la mini burguer. Nos hemos dejado recomendar sobretodo con los vinos y hemos salido con una sensación muy buena del local. Recomendado el vino Amare y Baigorri. Personal muy amable. Sin duda, si tenemos la ocasión volveremos. Calidad precio muy buena, por 40€ hemos tomado 8 tapas y 5 copas de vino 👍

(Translated by Google) I really liked it (Original) Me gusto muchísimo

My girlfriend and I were traveling through France and Spain this spring and wandered around the plaza while in Bilbao looking for lunch without the aid of google reviews (quite risky-eh). We had a wonderful meal and dining experience here, at their outside dining area. The lamb was tender and flavorful, balanced with the asparagus. For dessert, we had chocolate noir cream with orange praline, almond crumble and passion fruit sorbet and it was excellent. Be prepared with some appetite left, this dessert was a full dessert portion and not just 2 spoonful tastes we experienced in most European restaurants. Our server was kind and patient with our broken (poor) Spanish and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience.

Literally loved it just because of Fernando! He was so lively! We will absolutely be going back to Spain just to go to this restaurant and to have Fernando as our waiter. Very attentive service, the pinchos were delicious (especially the hot ones), and the sangria was perfection 😍

Really delicious pintxos, and great and quick service! We were able to get a seat at the bar on a busy Monday lunchtime and the red wine x cola drink was so refreshing for 31 degrees. It was a bustling vibe with locals inside the restaurant~

The best food we tried in Bilbao. Very nice pork pintxos, mini-burger and grilled octopus. Friendly staff!

(Translated by Google) Good attention Good product and a delicious smoked cod (Original) Buena atención Buen producto y un bacalao ahumado delicioso

Amazing pintxos, a bit more expensive than others you would find in the area, but worth it. The place is lovely on the inside as well

Great bar/restaurant with lovely staff. The pintxos here is amazing, look out for the black board to get the best stuff. Presa Iberica and the Torrija were the stand out dishes.

Very good/nice service and delicious food for fair prices. In the old Town at Plaza nueva you can find this lovely restaurant. You can go there for Pinchos and having a drink, and also for a very good dinner. We can recommend one of the two available menus. You get starter, main and dessert for good prices of 39€ or 42€. We've been there a second time an ordered from the normal menu and got very good meals again. A little bit more expensive than the both menu's, but still ok. The service was very accommodating and very friendly (and funny) . The restaurant was good visited, but we had not to wait at any time. The wine recommendatation also was very good. In our opinion is one of the, or THE best restaurant in old Town Bilbao. PLEASE go there an have a nice time!!

Absolutely decent food in a very nice location. Anyway one of the best parts of town. I had the menu and it was super awesome. Staff was very kind aswell.

We had the menu of the day which was good and plenty. Fish and tuna salad was not too great but meat adm jamon platter was good. Deserts were both really great. All in all good value for the price

We taste Creamy paella with baby squid, shrimp and lime alioli and grilles baby squid both were delicious.

Lovely friendly staff and some of the best pintxos we had in Bilbao. The smoked cod pintxo in particular was my best pintxo overall across Bilbao and San Sebastian.

Great pintxos, especially the polpo and el pimento ripieno with fish. They look tasty and are extremely good to try. The lower ground hosts a restaurant, which is also nice to try as well as the bar on top for drinks and pinxtos

Waited too long for our food. As if the waiter wanted us to stay too long. Tasty as any other basque restaurant.

Iso plussa että on auki siestan aikana. Ruoka hyvää ja palvelu Moitteetonta. ulkona/ sisällä paikkoja.

(Translated by Google) The pintxos are very rich and the offer is very wide. Although the price is completely excessive, still being the Plaza Nueva. It is not worth to go regularly (Original) Muy ricos los pintxos y la oferta muy amplia. Aunque el precio es completamente excesivo, aún siendo la Plaza Nueva. No merece la pena para acudir regularmente

(Translated by Google) I loved the site! Very good attention from the staff, atmosphere, and the pinchos, exquisite. Super recommended. We came on the recommendation of friends, and we were not disappointed. We asked one of the waiters for recommendations and we got it right. Red tuna skewer with confit onion and chili sauce, and the mini Iberian burger. (Original) Me encanto el sitio! Muy buena atención del personal, ambiente, y los pinchos, exquisitos. Súper recomendable. Vinimos por recomendación de unos amigos, y no nos decepcionó. Pedimos las recomendaciones de uno de los camareros y, acertamos. Pincho de atún rojo con cebolla confitada y salsa se chile, y la mini hamburguesa de ibéricos.

(Translated by Google) It seemed a bit expensive to me. (Original) Un poco caro me ha parecido.

(Translated by Google) It was good, not too many people, perfect for the Security distance due to the covid, good attention. If you have to make a problem, it is that to go to the toilet you have to go down stairs and a few ... And also in the same except for the disabled they do not have sinks, to be able to wash your hands well. (Original) Estaba bt bién, no demasiada gente, perfecto para la distancia de Seguridad por el covid, buena atención.

(Translated by Google) Good place, nice and super cozy. I went right on Halloween night and the waiters were super friendly, recommending us super rich pinchos and not too expensive for the Plaza Nueva. Although I have to say that such kindness can be annoying, because you feel that they are on top of you and you are also looking for tranquility when it comes to having something out there and going out for a drink. But I prefer that to bad faces and borders. I tried a lot of pintxos with my boyfriend, if not all, and I liked them all, all delicious and I have seen that they have a menu to eat. So one day I will come to eat and enjoy this good place and its nice team. Super recommended! (Original) Buen sitio, agradable y super acogedor. Fui justo la noche de Halloween y super amables los camareros, recomendándonos pinchos super ricos y no tan excesivamente caros para ser la Plaza Nueva. Aunque he de decir que tanta amabilidad puede ser molesto, pues sientes que están encima de ti y buscas tranquilidad también a la hora de tomar algo por ahí e ir de poteo. Pero prefiero eso a malas caras y borderías. Probé junto a mi novio un montón de pintxos por no decir todos, y todos me gustaron, todos riquísimos y he visto que tienen carta para comer. Así que algún día si que me pasaré a comer y a disfrutar de este buen sitio y su equipo tan majo. Super recomendado!

(Translated by Google) Excellent everything .. the service is wonderful and the food is great .. the place is beautiful by cozy .. (Original) Excelente todo.. el servicio una maravilla y la comida estupenda.. el lugar precioso by acogedor..

It was very good. Staff was helpful as well.

Absolutely the best place for pinchos. Every item was bursting with flavor and I loved how they had everything from traditional to fusion selections. What a fantastic place and our waiter was charming and clearly loved his job. For our cool camarero :Too bad I didn't get your name but I hope you visit Tennessee for a music festival on day! After visiting La Olla all other pinchos will pale in comparison. So go at the end of your trip or just go here for pinchos!

(Translated by Google) Spectacular nice. Treatment of the waiters of 10 ... and very very good skewers (Original) Simpática espectacular. Trato de los camareros de 10...y pinchos muy muy buenos

(Translated by Google) Another pintxos place that you must visit. Lots of variety and each one more good. They made you want to try them all but unfortunately the ability to eat from one gives you what you give :(. Very good presentation, any questions you have you can ask the waiter who will attend you very kindly. The product is first class and the ham ... without words Come in, eat and enjoy! They have cider and craft beer from the land! (Original) Otro local de pintxos que hay que visitar obligaroriamente. Mucha variedad y a cada cual más buenos. Daban ganas de probarlos todos pero por desgracia la capacidad de comer de uno da para lo que da :(.

Tienen sidra y cerveza artesana de la tierra!
