Hoy 30/10/25 hemos comido en el Bistró y todo fue realmente excelente de comienzo a fin - la atención de todo el equipo (Daniel, Tanya, Iker y Simón), el ambiente y, como no, la comida. Hicimos menú degustación que incluía ensalada de endivias, txangurro mezclado con puré de patata, merluza con salsa de cítricos, solomillo de cerdo, y tarta de queso Idiazabal. Hemos estado muchas veces, y siempre da gusto repetir. Hoy especialmente!

Nos ha sorprendido gratamente. Comimos el menú de fin de semana. Platos super elaborados, muy buena presentación y muy ricos. El servicio muy pendiente y eficiente. Volveremos para probar el menú degustación. Seguro que también estará espectacular.

If you are visiting the Guggenheim (and if not, why not??) then there is absolutely no reason not to have the delicious bistro set lunch… unless the more fancy place is more you thing.. you do you.. but I loved my lunch. And I got a free cake with my coffee.. but even without that its still five stars.

A good place to eat for visiting the art museum. The 3 course menu gives a great selection of dishes, eggplant, squid rice, and the lemon cream are my favorites. All dishes are over the average. Super quick service, friendly and nice to kids. We get the river view, which is super nice. Have to say the bistro has the same issue as the museum- it is aging. Still stylish for sure, but a renovation would be soon needed.

Surprisingly enjoyed one of my delicious Spanish food with value for money. We had ordered two express sets of Ajorriero Cod with Pil Pil Foam and Pork Tenderloin with Carrot Cream as main course. A cup of homemade orange wine is a good additive. The Coco Soup with milk and anise Icecream is so smooth but not too sweet. Staff is professional to introduce the choice of food and suggestions.

Had a in pixnto with egg and shrimp and a gazpacho. Both pretty good, but better was Cava (cold and superb taste). Quick service and attentive staff. Recommended.

Great experience with the full tasting menu. Loved the kind waiters’ service. Lovely basque wines made it a unique dinner. Highly recommend. Fair Price.

El lugar extraordinario como es de esperarse, no es caro y vale la pena. La atención del camarero Santiago fue excelente con todo esmero así como el resto de los camareros. La atención de la Host Naia dejaba muchísimo camino para la mejora. Minima o inexistente empatía y trato duro casi hostil con los clientes. Todos tenemos un mal día, pero eso no debería mostrarse en el trabajo de Host. Opaco un poco la experiencia pero el lugar y los camareros terminaron equalizando.

Un buen sitio con un buen precio. El lugar es inmejorable, dentro del museo Guggenheim tuvimos la suerte que nos pusieron cerca de una ventana y pudimos disfrutar de las vistas. El menú degustación está bien, platos variados y buenos. La atención es de lo mejor personal super amable y atentos en todo momento. Un buen sitio para cenar en Bilbao.

Buen menú por 29€. Elaboraciones y presentaciones bastante logradas. Vistas las opiniones, sabes al lugar que vas. A destacar las mesas semi cerradas en las que tienes bastantes intimidad y comodidad. Quizás las cantidades podían ser un poco más generosas. Un detalle que se incluya buen pan y que lo repongan sin coste alguno.

Comimos en el restaurante después de haber visitado el impresionante museo. Nos dieron una mesa "interior" pero al ratito pudimos cvisrnps a una mesa junto a la ventana, una maravilla. Comimos el menú degustación por casi 40e. Cierto es que las raciones quizás fueron un pelín justas, pero el menú estuvo muy completo y rico. El servicio muy correcto y atento. Quizás esperaba un local más espectacular por eso de estar en el Guggenheim, es un local de techos muy altos y moderno. Comimos unos cogollos a la plancha que no me dijeron gran cosa, un huevo escalfado sobre un puré de papá y un par de hongos, una merluza rebozada sobre salsa americana que si estaba rica, canelón de pato que estaba correcto y de postre un helado de chocolate sobre una sopa de plátano que estaba para morirse. Nos regalaron unos pastelitos de pistacho que estaban ricos.

Wonderful arty, sophisticated cafe adjacent to the museum. Tried the tasting menu with the endive and spider crab being the highlights. Well worth the price.

Incredible flavours in a lovely setting. We went for lunch and had 3 courses for €30. The highlights were: the aubergine and goats cheese starter - very intense flavour The cod with pil pil sauce - the creamy sauce was cut through with a puttanesca type sauce with the cod in. The asparagus starter was nice but the flavours were a bit simple for my liking. Brilliant service, lovely bread and coffee service.

We came here Saturday afternoon with a group for lunch according to a set menu. The service was correct and the food was delicious. Only the main course contained a bit much salt and garlic for us. We also did not taste the sherry vinegar in the dessert. The best dishes? The hake with bearnaise and mash, and the hummus with the bread! We found the atmosphere rather basic and the toilets could have been a bit cleaner. Recommended for a nice, smooth lunch before or after a museum visit, however I also think there may be other places nearby that surpass this one based on price-quality, just something to consider.

Guggenheim Bistro is on the 2nd floor of the museum; you’ll be able to enjoy fine basque dishes for lunch. Guests select each one from starters, main and dessert. Baguette and water are included. I ordered fish soup for starters, cod balls for main, and baked apple for dessert, adding a glass of homemade orange sweet liqueur (3€). The soup contained a lot of local seafood and was packed with flavour. Cod balls are served with fried cod skin and basque traditional sauce. Baked apple was a recommendation of a restaurant staff and rather nice with thyme ice cream. I highly suggest that you try a glass of orange liqueur with the dessert. I suppose 29.50€ is reasonable and satisfying to taste this lunch in the museum.

Great place to have lunch. The service is good and fast. Took the 3 course menu, although the main course might look small, the whole menu is enough to get you full. I had steak for main course, my wife had the lamb, both very good. Total damage for 2 persons (including 5@4 glasses of wine): 76Eur

I can't rate it 5 stars because I was unlucky to choose the Cod Balls, and the sauce was way too bitter. All other dishes chosen were fantastic and the deserts were amazing! Service was quite good, all at good price.

Great quality menu for a very decent price. Due tha fact that they work with a menu the food was delivered very quickly. So if you want to plan this before or after a museum visit. We finished a 3 course meal in 1 hour.

Fui a comer un día entre semana con unos compañeros de trabajo y la verdad es que la experiencia fue bastante irregular. El espacio es bonito, muy amplio y con mucha luz, además de estar justo dentro del museo, lo cual es cómodo si estás visitando. Sin embargo, el servicio estuvo algo lento, esperamos bastante hasta que nos tomaron nota. La comida estaba bien, nada excepcional pero tampoco mal. Pedimos varios platos del menú degustación y algunos tenían mejor sabor que otros. Los postres sí que me gustaron más. El precio es elevado para lo que es, pero supongo que se paga también la ubicación. No fue una mala experiencia, pero tampoco me dejó con ganas de volver pronto.

Snobby slow waiter's getting all distant if you just having a café, which was all right for too much money. Don't recommend.

this place was okay. i had the burger and my grandma had a couple pintxos. food was cold and Sangria was way way to strong. the burger was okay but weird secret sauce that nobody told you about and mustard. the mustard was okay but i don’t like mustard so it threw me off. the sparkling lemonade was refreshing and the service was great. it did take a while for the waiter to come back for our check but that’s okay. we sat outdoors and the weather was exceptional! beautiful view of the river and sculptures.

We had reserved a table here well in advance so that we could have lunch here right after the museum visit. In hindsight, we should not have done that and rather looked for a restaurant in the city area. The posh service was good. Also the modern ambience was very appealing and cozy. We chose the lunch menu for 29.50. The dishes were consistently tasteless, very small portions, no side dishes at all for the main courses. The fish tasted rancid and the bread dried out. In relation to the price a real disappointment.

Cuando vas a un restaurante lo fundamental es salir del local diciendo, que bien he comido .... me he saciado. Pues eso en el bistro no pasa, que la comida esta buena, pues si, esta rica, pero es que ponen unas raciones tan pequeñas .... que pasan por raquíticas, el menú es de 32 € y solo entra en las bebidas el agua (filtrada de grifo) no entra ninguna otra bebida. Yo creo que da para que un comensal medio quede saciado y sin hambre ..... pues ya digo que ni de lejos. Los camareros .... como todos, les pides más pan en el cambio del primer plato al segundo y se lo tienes que reclamar cuando estas acabando el segundo plato ya y casi ni te hace falta ..... En fin decepción total.

Food was cold. The service was unclear about the degree of doneness. Wine was very slow to arrive and was way too cold when served. Service seemed stressed and was a bit flawed. Overall this bistro cannot be recommended. Better to spend same amount of money at some restaurant out on the town

The hostess at the bistro was the rudest person we encountered in Spain. She first told us there were no tables for 15 minutes. We decided to wait and when a table left, we asked for their table. She then changed her mind and said there were no tables for the rest of the day even though we were there at 2:15pm and the restaurant was open till 3:30pm. We are extremely disappointed at the poor communication and lack of respect we received at this restaurant. Maybe they are racist or don’t like families.
