"We’ve ordered and dined in. In both cases the experience was INCREDIBLE. When we dined in, I had to ask to make sure the pinsa was definitely gluten free. As a coeliac, there’s no higher compliment you can pay a restaurant. The variety of toppings is not typical at all, instead they offer a variety of regional specialties from different parts of Italy. The meat board and gluten free bread was heaven, too! Tonight we’re going for the pasta. I’m sure they won’t disappoint either. If you’re in Bilbao, don’t miss out. It’s fantastic. They have the Spanish Coeliac society accreditation, so it’s super safe."

"Excelente relación calidad precio, platos elaborados, de gran calidad tradicionales y modernos degustamos unas zamburiñas, unos buñuelos de bacalao, bacalao club ranero, chipirones encebollados, callos a la bizkaia, unos deliciosos postres y un bue café, cocina a la vista, servicio esmerado y atento. Idiomas y turistas, lastima de no tener un local más espacioso. Para repetir si duda y sin dejar pasar mucho tiempo."

"I would fly back to Bilbao just to experience this culinary art and visual sensations again. This is where gastronomy meets art. From the projected menu, table-side preparation, to 3D goggles, every dish was well orchestrated and carefully presented. The 14-course Chef Plus menu is the best choice and it was a mind-blowing 3-hour journey. I have been to several 3 and 2 stars Michelin Star restaurants around the world, and this one-star establishment gave me more excitement and surprises than some more famous ones. This is the only Michelin star restaurant that I have been to where you get to see the chef several times throughout the dinner. Their seafood dishes were the best ones I have ever had that I can truly taste the intense flavor of the ingredients, not the sauce. I have had numerous cousins with truffle before, but none of them are memorable. The aroma of the white truffle in the soup I had here today was truly legendary. The number one course for me was the dessert named Caprice of Eucalyptus Raspberry and Tomato. I was curious about the use of tomato in a desert at first, but then it became my most favorite moment of the night. The transformation of a simple ingredient such as tomato into a whole new texture and flavor was just like magic. I have never ordered an a la carte item from a prix fixe menu before, but I did tonight just to experience it twice. Again, the tomato won my heart. The raspberry biscuit was equally amazing by itself, but the shock from the tiny tomato dices hidden inside this dessert was just beyond words. This was easily the best Michelin one-star restaurant for me, and it surpassed some of my past 2-star and 3-star culinary experiences. Maybe Yelp is not commonly used in Spain, so there was only one review about this place. I would not notice this place if I just walk by, since you can 't see inside from the street. You have to ring the bell in order to get in. I went to the adjacent restaurant by mistake, since it was the only one open around there. Then I was escorted to the right place. Don 't be shy to ring the bell, even though it looks like they are closed from outside. You will not be disappointed."

"We went here the night we arrived as it was close to the hotel. This was the first time we had ordered pintxos so with our very very limited Spanish and the girls very limited English we managed to have some very good food. She was very friendly and understood what we were wanting. The food was very inexpensive and very tasty especially the pie shaped potato pie, it was so creamy and delicious. Would highly recommend this place if you're in the neighbourhood."
