Estuvimos en NidoBilbao con mis hermanos y parejas y fué un auténtico espectáculo gastronómico. Buscábamos una experiéncia, nos dejámos aconsejar por ellos y probamos varios (muchos) platos a compartir. QUÉ MARAVILLA!!! A cada plato le superaba el siguiente, en sabores, presentación y servicio, que fué rápido pero sin empujar. Olvidaté de estrellas michelín y de platos que necesitan instrucciones. Un plato de arroz es un plato de arroz!! Por Diós! el "meloso de carabinero" !!! El atún en sus dos texturas! La cocochas de bacalao!!! En fin... Y por el precio que te puedas encontrar en otros lugares pagamos con una gran sonrisa. Gracias NidoBilbao

Fuimos el fin de semana pasado y nos encantó. Un sitio acogedor, con buena decoración, con un trato por parte de los camareros buenísimo, y por supuesto la comida riquísima, todo con un sabor espectacular. Volveremos!

La dueñan siempre muy atenta te explica la carta con mucho cariño. Todo con una calidad de 10 y una muy buena materia prima. El sitio es acogedor. Se nota el buen producto y la buena mano en la cocina. Muy recomendable.

Estuvimos ayer mi mujer y yo cenando y la verdad que salimos encantados. La comida estaba riquísima, se nota que está hecha con cariño y producto de calidad , rebañamos todos los platos con eso digo todo...Te explican muy bien todo y te aconsejan fenomenal. Sin duda cuando vuelvas a Bilbao volveremos .

Una experiencia excelente de principio a fin. La comida fue simplemente espectacular, con sabores muy cuidados y productos de gran calidad. El servicio, además, fue impecable: atento, profesional y muy amable en todo momento. Sin duda, un restaurante totalmente recomendable al que volveremos.

NidoBilbao es un restaurante que sorprende gratamente con su propuesta vasca refinada y moderna. La cocina es exquisita con platos que combinan tradición e innovación de manera equilibrada. El bacalao al pil pil es espectacular, con una salsa sedosa y perfecta. Los postres caseros son deliciosos, especialmente el milhojas. El ambiente es acogedor y el diseño interior es muy cuidado. El personal es muy profesional y amable. Precios acordes a la alta calidad. Perfecto para una comida especial o una cena romántica. Imprescindible reservar con antelación.

Cannot fault it! They seated us on a busy Epiphany lunch service without fuss. The food was delicious, fresh and thoughtful. The service is excellent - warm and friendly. A find!

Stumbled into Bascook on a sizzling hot day… and I swear it felt like an oasis (with much better food 😏). From the very first bite to the last sip, everything was simply spectacular. The flavors were bold, the service was warm, and the atmosphere had just the right touch of laid-back charm. Honestly, it wasn’t just a meal — it was an experience. The kind that makes you smile long after you’ve left the table. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something delicious, memorable, and perfectly refreshing on a scorching day. Just be warned: you may not want to leave. 😉

Absolutely lovely, great food

We had originally booked to go to Eneko Basque, however, after arriving and being ignored for 20 minutes (not even acknowledged or seated) we decided to try Bascook instead. Even though we didn't have a reservation they couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. We chose the Menu Gatz, and were really impressed. All of the dishes were perfect and we enjoyed trying each of them. The wine was also great. The service was exceptional - it wasn't pretentious or over the top and the whole experience felt relaxed. I recommend!

Former salt mine turned into a beautiful restaurant and matched by high-quality, fresh and authentic ingredients resulting in traditional basque dishes with international fusion elements. You can't go wrong with any dish, while the bacalao and cod-maki stand out. I would come back anytime again.

We had lunch there as per the recommendation of a local friend and we got the “menú degustación”. The place is pricey but the food didn’t disappoint at all. It started with a vermut, then a lovely croquette, a pair of foie and bacalao sushi-style. Then the mains were mussels, bacalao and a solomillo with foie. For dessert a torrija and a big rum cocktail, all with a bottle of wine included. The food is elaborate and the flavours really well combined and balanced. The staff was lovely, laid back and very helpful. We will return when we go back visiting Bilbao, highly recommend!

Amazing lunch, exceptional value for such high quality food and service. Highly recommended. We came as a result of a recommendation from a Spanish friend. We didn’t have a reservation but luckily they had a table for us. Ordered from the set menu which was delicious and very filling. Wine was also top notch.

Bascook is an outstanding restaurant, and their lunch offer (currently two courses plus desert and bread for 32€) makes this fine dining accessible. Each course provided a number of unexpected but complementary tastes ... an absolute delight! If it’s on offer I’d strongly recommend the Gin & Tonic Ice Cream desert ... The selection of breads provided was also very good, and although wine and water are extra their pricing is not unreasonable. Service was excellent and friendly (plus, when we told them we were celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary they brought us a little congratulatory extra!), and the decor is attractive, with the room curtained nicely into smaller spaces. [Note that it’s best to reserve ahead if you can ... we have visited at a time when the website suggested they were open to find they weren’t!]

Marcus West

Exemplary food. Despite a meat and fish biased menu, there are some truly outstanding vegetarian options. It’s worth calling a few days before if you want a vegetarian tasting menu. The service was good and the food very well presented, with a very imaginative dessert menu! One dish to share as a starter (the dishes are very generous!), a main and a dessert each, a bottle of wine, two glasses of champagne and brandy to finish and it was still only €120. Extraordinary value compared to what you’d have paid for fine dining in Madrid or BCN. You can certainly pay less at Bascook by having the set menu. Highly recommended.

Teasty food, gourmet, small dishes, intense flavors. They make their own beer (try it, really good beer). Please reserve it, really crowded place.

Great dîner and fantastic location. Very good food. We will come back again for sure. To recommending...for all gourmet poeple who will eat very good speciallyties fron north of Spain.

Un bonito local y un personal sumamente amable son las primeras cartas de presentación de este local, donde te sientes cómodo desde el primer momento. Respecto a la comida, nos gustó, pero salimos un poco decepcionados ya que teníamos unas expectativas muy altas. Compartimos un arroz como entrante (correcto) y probamos de segundo unas albóndigas de txuleta (sabor profundísimo a carne, muy buenas), unas kokotxas (el pilpil nos pareció demasiado ligero) y un rabo de buey cuya ración, al servirse con hueso, resultaba muy escasa. Los postres, buenos. Respecto al precio, acorde al local, pero a nosotros nos pareció algo caro teniendo en cuenta la calidad/cantidad de comida.

Fui a cenar sola porque vi que estaba cerquita de mi hotel y fue la mejor elección que he podido hacer. Comida increíble se nota que los productos son de primera calidad. La atención muy cercana, Iratxe te asesora según tus gustos y la experiencia fue muy top. Cuando vuelva a Bilbao repetiré 100%.

Tasty Basque food with modern spin through Asian and Mexican influences. Cocktails also very nice!

Stefano P

Interesting fusion between basque ingredients and Asian techniques. Pretty unique, but you have to like it. The start was with a small cabbage hummus, served while waiting for your order. We then got a Cappuccino of Cod to share, 8 makies with a chili pepper and rice base and cod-fish cream on top. Pretty complex taste, but good. We then had a local grilled beef, very well cooked and tasty, a grilled pigeon with its stuffed gyozas/ravioli, very tasty even if it requires to combine in a proper way the meat, the gyoza and the sauce. Last main dish was a ramen seafood based, with noodles. Very intense taste. To end we order two desserts, the mojito ice cream, served with caramelized orange skin and the French toast with dulce de leche. Both very sophisticated and tasty, the first to prefer if you like a bitter taste, the second if you like a sweet option. The venue is very elegant and cozy, with a very nice playlist accompaining the dinner. Staff was very attentive and nice. Recommended to try, but not expecting a pure basque restaurant.

Tasty modern style dishes, reasonable priced lunchtime 3 course menu, contemporary sleek cellar style interior with pleasant atmosphere, good service

Ian Ainsworth

Great lunch time deal with a choice of 2 plates (no difference between starter or main course), plus dessert and a glass of wine or beer for 32 Euros.. Nice friendly staff, great venue. Mussels in a fantastic sauce, steak tartare was very tasty but too smooth texture, special of burger was nice but could have been better seasoned, salt cod nice. All followed by their fantastic chocolate dessert.

Abit to laid back service, not all of the dishes are perfectly flavoured and thought through. The location is grande, the wines are perfectly chosen, when they execute well, it becomes great, and the place can only go recommended for these prices! So recommend the lunch.

Interesting decor, great waiter, the food was fine, but we didn’t leave feeling wowed. Perhaps a different menu selection might have been more impressive.

Nos atendió una chica muy agradable, nos indicó que la comida era casera y con productos de alta calidad, carne de productores locales y bacalao de Islandia, nos indicó que por fechas no tenían muchos de esos productos, digo yo, si en estas fechas no dispones de esos productos me parece un poco mal, se nos dice que disponen de pan celíaco recién echo en horno, puesto que disponen de la masa, al de un rato nos traen pan de celíaco en una bolsa calentado en microondas, le pregunto el porqué de este pan cuando se nos dijo otra cosa, dice que no disponen de ese pan asta enero. 🤔 no hubiera sido mejor decir la verdad de primeras, no le pongo menos puntuación porque la comida y el sitio fueron sublimes, pero si tienes un restaurante de este nivel lo suyo seria disponer de otros proveedores,para no estar en estas fechas a medias.

Es la primera vez que hemos ido a Bilbao y buscamos un restaurante con buena comida para probar. Todo lo que pedimos ( arroz de carabineros, carrilleras de atún rojo, txuleta y tarta de queso) buenísimo, el precio es elevado pero es cierto que lo que comes lo vale. Con lo único que tenemos “queja” es que a nuestro parecer hay alguna camarera que tiene una actitud bastante fría; estamos acostumbrados a un trato “familiar” y sí que nos hemos sentido algo incómodos sobretodo yendo con niños, sin quitar profesionalidad a ninguno de ellos, que de eso no falta.

We had the tasting menu Gatz. My wife and I are foodies, we do appreciate the experience but offering three dishes with fish accompanied by mushrooms, in one tasting menu is a bit much. The mushroom were not good in any of the three dishes, it was the same kind just cooked in a different way, some of them were really really bitter and none of the three pairings unfortunately worked out in regard to flavours. The tartare was really good but the rib eye was extra rare, a bit hard to eat if someone is not used to rare meat, a bit chewy as well. I think a little bit more cooking and it would have been much better. We did not get asked how we wanted it cooked. The amount of the dishes in the tasting menu was good, you definitely leave with a full stomach and we do appreciate that. There is the need to explore a bit more the combination of flavours, the gatz menu unfortunately did not have good flavours overall, the individual pieces were tasty, but the combinations not good. Service was good, fast and simple, they give you the time for tasting and chatting and enjoying dinner. Drinks good.

Graham Keeble

Overall OK but expected a little better based on the overall rating and some previous reviews. We went for the Harri menu, each course arrived swiftly and we'd have appreciated the pace to be a little slower, the starting sharing courses were all good; maki, omelette foam and grilled prawns (seafood of the day). Next course of tuna tataki, the tuna itself was good but accompaniments not to our liking - crisps and a tartare sauce that was too much mayo. Next course of iberican pork was the biggest disappointment - probably one of the driest pieces of pork I've experienced and would have shared that feedback had we been asked at the time. Desserts - passion fruit cheesecake was good and a nice size after the previous courses, French toast is substantial so ensure you've left enough room. Atmosphere is modern and spacious, quiet early on in the evening but busier later which it needed.

Had high expectations for this place, but it fell short on every aspect. The staff makes you feel rushed and every dish had an issue... (cold, not fully cooked, etc). Does not compare to its sister place, The Basquery, which is a 10/10

Came for lunch and ordered a la carte. The starters — steak tartare and artichokes — were excellent. However, the 3 mains were atrocious. The “ramen” noodles were overcooked to the point of being mushy and paste-like and inedible; we had maybe two bites; the waiter asked us if it was okay, and we said they were overcooked… and no further word from him on that (other than overcharging us 4 euro for splitting it into two bowls — something the waiter offered, and we did not ask for). The fish of the day was nicely cooked but a strange pairing with pumpkin; it was far too sweet and under salted. Our final dish was the secreto iberico — completely overcooked and dry, truly an offense to such a typically nice cut of meat. Seriously, there are so many good places in this city (that are FAR cheaper) save yourself the trouble from such an overpriced, under finessed meal.
