“ We came to Bilbao for two days, and when we checked into the hotel, we decided to grab some food ‘cause we were super hungry. Most restaurants weren’t serving yet, since the kitchen usually starts working around 5-5:30 PM. But this place probably felt sorry for us after seeing our hungry faces The chef took our order and even helped us choose the dishes – and wow, they were absolutely delicious! The staff was super friendly and kind, and the whole vibe was chill, like having dinner with family. 100% recommend this place! Huge thanks to the restaurant team for an amazing dinner! ”
“ We are craving for a good steak before flying home and D. O Bilbao didn’t disappoint us. We arrived at 4ish - 5pm and the restaurant was still seating people and kitchen was open. We ordered the steak for 2 people which was priced at €47 / kg. Our steak was about 1.6 kg which was enough for 2 people. It came out perfectly medium-rare as requested. Highly recommend! ”
“ This was a great find! The restaurant I had in mind was closed so I kept on walking and found this. Great ambiance, food was well presented, and friendly staff. The prices are high- my grilled squid were €23 but the wine they gave me - I’m assuming was the house red was delicious and well priced at €2.50. They have the food menu posted outside so I knew what I was in for. ”
