“ WOWWW! Best restaurant in Bilbao everything was cooked to perfection, fresh and so so delicious. You must try the Chuletón, the bacalao and the burrata I mean everything was next level tasty! The service was incredible too and I’m definitely coming back! ”
“ 2024 visit: Every time we visit Bilbao we make it our top priority to eat at EL Nido. If you are looking for HIGH QUALITY Spanish food accompanied with a fine wine and an exceptional service then EL Nido is the place. The owner was so attentive to us and met the dietary requirements of one of our party. We had the asparagus, chuleton croquets and meatballs, along with the a heavenly cheesecake for dessert. There are fish options also. The personal touch and thank you makes the visit more special every time. Hopefully we will get to Bilbao again soon. THANK YOU EL NIDO. 2021 visit: 110% recommended!! High quality food, sourced locally and the owner very knowledgeable and very attentive. Definitely will repeat!!…. We did this summer! Buenísima calidad del producto y un trato excepcional. Buena carta de vinos. Repetiremos segurísimo. Totalmente recomendable. ”
“ At first, the interior seems quite eclectic and kitsch, but with the amazing food and wine it grows on you quickly. Waiter seemed like his shift ended way better than it started, but the owner who greeted us and served us during our almost 4hr lunch was the most wonderfully accomodating, and very kind. She recommended a wine that was an incredible surprise. The food is absolutely exceptional, one of the best carpaccios and burratas I've ever had, and ive had plenty of those. The chuleton for 4 of course, was perfect. Left very happily inebriated and satisfied! ”
“ Had a fantastic dinner at El Nido! The chuletón was absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection, and the dessert was delightful too. The service was incredibly attentive, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. The atmosphere added a great touch, creating a warm and inviting environment. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience! ”
“ Loved the place for the impeccable service and relaxing atmosphere. This restaurant is both cozy and elegant inside, perfect for a dinner date or a calm family gathering. Menu has a variety of categories(like fish, meat, etc), but not so many options in each of the categories, what, in my opinion, is a good thing. I think it would be great to add a vegetarian category too as I believe this restaurant has all of the potential to create awesome plant based main courses. I had a salad with fish and it came out to be very filling, because of the amount of fish and vegetables in it. The only thing that could be improved is a boiled egg on top, It made the dish look too simple, so swapping it for a poached egg for example would elevate the whole look of it as well as the taste, because the fish itself is quite dry. Other than that loved their dessert options, it has quite a few, and it tasted absolutely delicious. Also, the presentations were unique for each dish and pleasurable to look at. Overall, I think the restaurant can be quite pricey, especially for the tourists who are on a budget, and the quality/price ratio could be improved. Still, it was a great experience and the place is worth a visit. ”
“ I recently had the pleasure of great lunch time that exceeded all expectations, providing us a truly memorable experience. When we had to change our party size almost double last minute, the staff was incredibly accommodating, making us feel right at home with their welcoming attitude. They went the extra mile to help us pull off a surprise birthday celebration, bringing out a cake with dazzling sparklers and creating a truly festive atmosphere. Every dish we tried, from the tender octopus, the tuna cheek to the mouthwatering steak, was absolutely amazing and impressed everyone at the table. This unforgettable dining experience became the highlight of our trip to Bilbao, and we all left with wonderful memories. I can't recommend this restaurant enough for its outstanding service and delicious cuisine. ”
“ The food, the staff and the place are great! I've tasted the best Steak tartar ever! My girlfriend loved the mushrooms and cheese cake, and still remember their taste after a week :) We were lucky to get a last minute free table, and we don't regret coming to that charming place. We'll come back for sure. Agur! ”
