€€€€

If you find the idea of eating inside a museum tempting, there’s no better place than the Guggenheim Bilbao, where the unique design of the building reverberates throughout your experience here. Nerua, which takes its name from the Latin for the River Nervión, situated at the point where the river’s freshwater meets the saltwater of the Atlantic, recreates a similar fusion in its own philosophy thanks to chef Josean Alija’s quest to revive traditional Basque flavours from an innovative perspective. As a result, he enhances the menu with dishes that will dazzle guests with their depth and nuanc

€€€€

Located alongside the river, inside of the Tayko hotel. The aesthetics here are almost as impressive as the cuisine, which sees it proudly vaunting its open brickwork and concrete beams to highlight the fact that it was the first building to be constructed using these materials in the city’s historic quarter. The restaurant exudes personality and is keen to immerse guests in a sensory journey via the story of chef Martín Berasategui, enabling them to discover his vision and his particular sense of culinary excellence through the hands of his disciple Raúl Cabrera (known to everyone as Pintxo).

This minimalist restaurant with a natural feel to its decor is located opposite the city’s Guggenheim Museum where it exudes plenty of culinary passion in its quest to showcase the traditional cuisine of Northern Spain. Here, under the baton of chef Julen Bergantiños, choose between two unusual menus that change completely with every season (for example, wild mushrooms take centre stage in the autumn, followed by game in the winter), based around seasonal ingredients sourced from small-scale producers with, wherever possible, a constant and skilful use of native condiments and native species.

Life, both professionally and personally, often demands constant growth in order to stay ahead of the curve, that famous ‘renew yourself or die’ mantra that countless chefs have espoused in their culinary philosophies. Chef Álvaro Garrido, always well supported in the dining room by Lara Martín, is no stranger to this dynamic and, right now, he is immersed in this process of reinvention, as he leaves the successful establishment in Marzana (said to be Bilbao's ‘indie’ district) for a larger venue in the heart of the Indautxu neighbourhood.His gastronomic proposal?

Zarate

fish, regional, spanish · ★ Michelin

€€€

The history of Zarate is that of a man passionate about fishing and the sea, to the point where his cooking is described as “tidal-inspired cuisine”. Chef Sergio Ortiz de Zarate started his career in Lekeitio (Vizcaya), where he began to make a name for himself thanks to his superb baked wild fish. His traditional cooking gained further recognition following his move to Bilbao and a widening of his repertoire that involved more modern dishes and a focus on locally sourced ingredients. The strong guiding principles of the restaurant are based around his exceptional knowledge of fish – Cantabria

This typical Bilbao “botxero”, a classic feature of Bilbao’s restaurant scene, opened its doors in 1878 under the name Bar Colón. Today, following its impressive renovation which has seen it retain much of its authentic character, it is one of the most interesting restaurants in the city’s old quarter. Its beautiful bistro-style interior provides the backdrop for an impressive à la carte (including “media ración” options) that features Bilbao’s most representative and typical dishes, all presented with a contemporary flair, alongside two enticing tasting menus: “Gourmand” and “De Bilbao de tod

A somewhat surprising Asian “taberna” in Bilbao with an informal atmosphere to make you feel at home and open your mind and tastebuds to new, interesting flavours from around the world. Owner-chef Iván Abril rethinks oriental cooking through techniques acquired in London and Hong Kong, but always using superb Basque products and varying the dishes he offers in line with seasonal ingredients. The backdrop of impeccable, contemporary taberna-style decor is partly inspired by Asian culture.

Above anything else, the concept at Al Margen champions "taste through simplicity". This relaxed and informal restaurant alongside the estuary next to San Antón bridge, features a decor of highly original stone columns and hydraulic floor tiles that give it plenty of character, alongside bare tables and a semi-open kitchen at the entrance. The young chefs at the helm here, Adrián Leonelli and Pablo Valdearcos, have created a concise à la carte that showcases updated traditional cuisine that is technically accomplished yet fun and always built around the freshest seasonal produce.
