My wife ordered tuna tartare 19), our daughters had albondigas (6 meatballs 19!! and 6 poor gambas a la plancha 12). I took...bacalau with sauce pil-pil which was a bordelaise ready made from Eroski 19). All dishes were very, very average except for the bread which was excellent 4 x 2). Draft beer was 4. Service wasn't friendly at all so we couldn't leave quick enough this OVERPRICED place. Avoid this place, way better options in Bilbao!
