Where to eat Spanish food in Province of Vizcaya: The Best Restaurants and Bars

August 27, 2020 Jana Sager

Reviews on Spanish food in Province of Vizcaya, Basque Country, Spain. Biscay (Basque: Bizkaia; Spanish: Vizcaya) is a province of Spain located just south of the Bay of Biscay. The name also refers to a historical territory of the Basque Country, heir of the ancient Lordship of Biscay. Its capital city is Bilbao. It is one of the most prosperous and important provinces of Spain as a result of the massive industrialization in the last years of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century. Since the deep deindustrialization of the 1970s, the economy has come to rely more on the services sector.

We were looking for a nice place for lunch in walking distance of the Guggenheim Bilbao when we saw this restaurant. It has a very serene and comfortable atmosphere, very nice staff. We ordered an iberico platter, roasted pork and pork secreto with asparagus. Perfect to our taste. Didn’t want to return for a second time only because there is so much more to try. But will revisit when in Bilbao next time. Thnx to the staff!

Reviewed By AlexMDE

We were totally blown away by the excellence of this little restaurant. Its simplicity in decor adds to the charm and gives no clue as to the magic which we were subsequently served. We'd heard about "the broccoli" and tried it.... fantastic. Every dish was innovative and beautifully presented. No way was this a meal of style over substance - it was total style and unbeatable substance.Thank you again for an unforgettable meal.

We stopped in because of the great TA reviews and they were right on the money. We had fish stew, chicken teriyaki, and the roasted vegetable salad. They were great values, large portions, and fresh well presented ingredients. If you've never tried the patron peppers, then this is a great opportunity to give them a try. The owner and her family go out of the way to make your dining experience wonderful.

First of all, service is excellent. They really take time to make guests feel welcome and to explain the menu. We had the steak tartare, gyoza style dumplings, octopus, and the forest for dessert. Everything was tasty and well prepared. The dessert was absolutely beautiful! Also kudos for being flexible with portion sizing.

Reviewed By Patti A

Not to be hyperbolic but this was one of the greatest experiences we’ve had anywhere. From the personable owners, Natalya and David (who have spent time in the US and speak perfect English-a big plus in Bilbao), to the fine moderately priced wine list, to their fresh locally-sourced food, to Pedro the amicable waiter, to the lively crowd of locals, this restaurant is superb in every way possible. We’re global travelers and this meal will live in our memories forever.

Went for a quick lunch with my hubby, who is in a conference in this area . The owners do not speak much English, however, the hospitality does not have language barrier . They went to use internet and translate the menu, kind of. We did not mind what we have, the orders turned out to be as nice as we would like it. Very reasonably priced, very friendly . Thank you Thank you for your comment, and valuation our small Basque restaurant will be your home whenever you wish. we always try to make you feel at home despite the different languagesA greeting.

Bar Roma is a meeting place, in the center of the city. They make exquisite “tapas” and "pintxos". Select wines from the country and very friendly people.

Reviewed By SuzeyQ101

Being ranked No 1 in TripAdvisor can't be easy but after a few minutes, I totally understood why!!Don't be put off by the normal looking outside or unsmiling bar man (which I think was the owner). After a few minutes, he'll be explaining what the many tasty pintxos are & what wines he has, all in a patient & friendly manner.We had 7 amazing savoury pintxos (& we wanted to try so many more!) plus a cheesecake (which was amazing & light but just sweet enough), along with 3 red wines & an alcohol free beer. Imagine our utter amazement when the bill came to 14.80 EUR, I thought he must have calculated something wrong!! But no, that's how good value it is here.We're only in Bilbao for 5 days but I'll definitely be hoping we have time for another visit as the food was so tasty, the wines were so good & the service was spot on.Good morning SuzeyQ. Thank you very much for that wonderful description you make of your experience with us. From the heart, we are pleased to see that our effort bears fruit, and that you enjoy and make such a positive assessment of our products. Thank you for everything and we hope to see you here soon. Good trip and see you soon.

Our family was traveling from San Sebastián to Bilbao and stopped in Ondarroa hoping to find lunch. Although Surtagi is not that impressive from the street, the upstairs dining room is lovely. The waiter was friendly and very knowledgeable, and the meal of fresh seafood was Superb.

Sencillamente espectacular!! Trabajo en la zona y a pesar de pasar prácticamente todos los días por delante no había tenido el privilegio de ir a probar su menú. Este viernes teníamos cosas que celebrar y decidí celebrarlo con un menú del día del batzoki. Solo palabras buenas, atención soberbia!!! Camarero rubio simpático a mas no poder. El jefe también chapó!! Nos sirvió lo cafes y paso por la mesa para preguntar qué tal habíamos comido. La carne..... Buenísima, la ENSALADA GENIAL!! Me encanta conocer restaurantes nuevos y os diré que a este vuelvo seguro!! Bilbao me apasiona... Pero sus restaurantes más!!
