Description

A restaurant with a refined decor in which you can enjoy a culinary dining experience to the full thanks to chef Daniel Lomana’s frequent visits to Japan to train and to develop his technique further, skills that can you enjoy at close quarters by taking a seat at the bar or at one of its adjoining tables. His focus is on Japanese fusion cuisine that includes interesting à la carte dishes (hamachi sashimi, amberjack with KUMA ceviche, sea bass nigiri, fried aubergines with a white sesame vinaigrette etc), plus a recommended tasting menu. Don’t leave without trying their deconstructed cheesecak

Review summary

Located in central Bilbao, KUMA offers high-quality Japanese cuisine, primarily via tasting menus. Food reviews are mixed; while many praise the freshness and flavor of items like wagyu, sea urchin, and carabinero shrimp, others report bland dishes and disorganized service. Staff are generally professional and friendly, though some guests felt pressured to choose the tasting menu over à la carte options. The ambiance is elegant and quiet, featuring an open kitchen. Value perceptions vary; while some find the reasonable prices justified by quality, others criticize the child pricing policy based on height rather than age, and note inconsistencies in recent visits.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking refined Japanese cuisine who accept fixed menus; verify child pricing policy beforehand.
