Course two peppers stuffed with pork in (what tasted like tinned) tomato sauce €34. Thankfully we left before we were sold the full five course ‘experience’. Rip off. Avoid… Had to go for pinchos immediately after (the bar opposite was great value) as we were still hungry!

However it was exceptional, a wonderful experience. The owner explained the 5 courses to us (all selected seasonally and locally) and wanted to check that it suited our requirements. We thoroughly enjoyed it all but the monkfish was my favourite. The owner also took time to explain the local wine and paired it well. It was our first night in Bilbao. Not only was it a fabulous introduction to its gastronomy, it also set a very high culinary standard.
