Very nice pintxos. Server is very busy, but helpful if you talk to her nicely, even in English! She recommended cheese balls, which were tasty.
Lovely place with great variety of delicious tapas and nice people running the bar. Every time we are in Bilbao, we return to this bar.
We were just looking for a brunch and this was the only place open at the street. Lucky for us, because the pintxos were amazing. Of course we went back. We shared about 10 pintxos each day, and 6 beers, which ended up at around 30 euros. It's just a small bar, but it's hard to leave when different tasty types of pintxos keeps coming from the kitchen.
We happened upon Visenta whilst looking for pintxos. So glad we went in as the range of pintxos was like nothing we'd seen before and everything we tried was delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and the price was distinctly non touristy!! We'd thoroughly recommend Viscenta.
The place is long and narrow. The bar and the pinxos do look very very good. I had 3 pinxos here: Tuna and caramelized onion: i really liked this one Cheese croquette: they didn't mention that the cheese included blue cheese and I don't like blue cheese at all so I didn't like this one Sea urchin soup: there was definitely something wrong with this one. It had a burnt after taste. Really disliked it. All in all it was an average experience. Prices were higher than in other bars in the area and the quality of the ingredients was not the best.
