Description

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?

Review summary

Mina in Bilbao focuses on regional fine dining. Reviews highlight high-quality, creative dishes and excellent local wine pairings, with professional service and a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. However, negative feedback points to inconsistent service, including ignored reservations, uneven meal pacing, and limited wine choices. Some guests noted noise levels affecting explanations and minor hygiene issues. While the new location offers improved decor, value for money is mixed. Food quality remains the strongest asset, but service reliability and pacing significantly impact the overall experience.
