Description

Lasai takes its name from the Basque word for “calm” or “tranquillity”. This discreet restaurant in a narrow street in the centre of the city, just a few metres from the river, invites guests to discover its modern take on traditional cuisine via a simple daily set menu entitled 'Hiria' (lunchtime only, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays) and two more extensive tasting menus ('Lasai' and 'Crystal') that showcase dishes with their roots in the region as well as time-honoured flavours. Make your reservation well in advance, as it is a very popular restaurant and tends to be quite busy!

Review summary

Located in downtown Bilbao, Lasai offers modern Basque and regional cuisine. Reviews highlight high food quality, creative presentations, and a comfortable, contemporary atmosphere. Service is generally professional and attentive, with staff capable of resolving issues like wine pairings effectively. However, some guests experienced slow pacing due to understaffing or encountered rude behavior. While many find the experience worthwhile, opinions on value vary; some consider it excellent, while others feel the dishes lack surprise or justify the cost. Negative feedback also mentions poor seating near the kitchen and noise issues.
