Gu2 - Bilbao

As part of our tour we went to this restaurant for dinner. We had ponchos to start, four different ones, and they were fantastic. I especially loved the tuna and potato salad ones. Next we had leek soup which I was hesitant to try but it turned out delicious. The next course was fish and roasted red pepper, again excellent. This was topped off with a dessert plate containing finger size bites of apple pie, cheesecake, and brownies. Not only I but everyone in the tour thought this was fantastic and the best meal yet on our tour.

Was a really lovely atmosphere in the bar, reasonable priced great wine. We tried some snacks that the locals were ordering, some cheese and ham croquettes. They were delicious! Went back later in the evening to get dinner. We sat in the back room, which was really quiet when we arrived but started to fill up later on. Steak we ordered, but disappointingly they only had one portion left. So I ordered the cod, which I didn’t expect to be so big. I also forgot to check if it came with vegetables or salad. Neither unfortunately but it was such a big piece I wouldn’t have managed them anyway. Fish was nice, but the steak was delicious! Must go back again to try that!

We made a great trip through Spain, with great food everywhere, but this was a true disaster. Although, it was not busy at the moment we were there, it took ages before we could order for drinks (half an hour) and again for dinner (half an hour). I ordered 1/2 racion of fish as a starter and my husband the albondigas. After waiting again very long I got the fish which was two bites on a plate for 18 euros. As my husband did not get his albondigas we asked/waved the waitress, but she totally ignored us and pretended she did not hear. After a long while I got inside to pay, as we did not want to stay here any longer (still no albondigas) and on top of this I got charged 36 euros for the fish!!!!! which was for 1 racion and 1/2 racion, which was already totally overrated. Never again.

Algo ruidoso si hay grupo grande (por ser un local bastante pequeño) pero tanto la comida como el servicio son excelentes. Encantado de haberlo descubierto.

Mónica y Alberto se superan día a día, hemos pasado un momento muy ameno, el servicio, ambiente y comida cada vez mejor. Para todo aquel que aprecie la cocina con productos de primera y le gusta que lo mimen, este es su sitio.
