Located on the first floor of the Tayko Hotel, the restaurant has a chic-industrial decor, with brick walls and large black windows overlooking the ría.

Caramelised millefeuille with foie gras and smoked eel, warm oyster with apple and cucumber-txakoli granita . Divine!
BAR CHARLY
Read moreA classic in the Plaza Nueva! Since 1973, Bar Charly has been serving classic pintxos to a clientele of loyal customers and passing visitors. Its large terrace is a popular meeting place to drink a zurrito (small beer) with friends and share some raciones, especially the typical rabas that Bilbao's inhabitants love, and which Bar Charly won the competition for the best rabas in Casco Viejo in 2021. These small fried squids are eaten as an appetizer on Sundays around noon: a tradition worth trying!
PULPERÍA VERMUTERÍA FLORINES
Read moreIn the heart of Bilbao La Viejo, an authentic address that showcases Galician cuisine. For despite the hipster revolution that has taken hold of the neighbourhood, this vermutería has continued to offer the same classics for more than 40 years. Galician-style octopus, served as a pintxo or ración, is the star of the place! But the cecina or lacón croquettes are also worth the detour. They are accompanied by a small glass of vermouth, a speciality of the place!
