“ Lovely restaurant with a different approach to the menu. You simply have a choice of 4, 6 or 8 plates according to what the chef has prepared that day. We chose 4 plates each of which was delicious. Wine was good and service excellent. Restaurant is well appointed and situated near to Bilbao Town Hall. Would gladly go back again. ”
“ Fantastic gastronomic experience for very good price! We tried the several courses menu and each part was absolutely delicious. Personnel in the restaurant very kind and helpful. 100% recommended ”
“ Very nice restaurant. We we’re a group of 9 and had many wishes for diets and allergies (no nuts, gluten, lactose free, soy free, vegetarian). They had different plates for everybody and really nice creative choices. ”
“ Happened upon this place while visiting with my mum and boy was it a pleasant surprise! The food was fantastic and the service was spot on! The aesthetic is very different from what I would generally associate with such quality food, but it lends itself to a truly unique experience. I really felt like a place where they are just looking to have fun and cook great food. Definitely recommend! ”
“ You wouldn’t expect to have such nice and interesting food in this place but it was unexpectedly good! I took a menu of 5 meals for only 22€ and it was very good. Raw tuna was amazing! ”
“ This place was incredibly delicious! The presentation of the dishes was stunning, and the staff was super friendly. ”
“ It's a very simple place in appearance but really creative and big on flavor. The smallest menu is a 5 course surprise sampler and you're allowed to keep expanding it as you please. Over all a super cool concept and you can tell it's enjoyed by all types of people from around the community. I think it's really special that they adjust the menu to your dietary restrictions. I had the vegetarian version. I don't even like dessert but I think that wasy favorite. I'm only deducting a star because the opening "tofu" zucchini dish was too salty and I expanded my menu to 7 plates but had to repeat one because they didn't have another veggie option Definitely recommend trying this place for yourself! ”
“ During our stay in Blibao, we dined here on a Thursday evening. We called quite last minute, but there was still room. Despite the fact that I was pregnant, the staff responded enthusiastically and said we were very welcome. We were first in line, so we could choose our own table. They also took the customized menu very well into account. It was nice not to have to think about or figure out what I was having for dinner. They always start with a 4-course menu, including one dessert. After the third course, they asked if we wanted the 7-course menu or dessert. We both chose the 7-course menu for €30.50. For the quality of the food, it was definitely excellent. A few drawbacks were the interior, which we didn't particularly like, the rapid pace of the plates, and the way the staff rushed around—it was truly unsettling. They were practically running around all evening. We finished 7 courses in 1.5 hours, despite having requested and received two 10-minute breaks, and by then we were already back outside... But culinarily, this was definitely a very good choice ”
