 Ideal for any celebration |
Avenida de Zumalacárregui, 125 Bilbao, Vizcaya 48004 Spain +34 94 446 4858 |
In Alto de Begoña, one of the best locations of the Vizcayan capital, this restaurant has sprung up to prepare delicacies for visitors and locals alike. The restuarant was previously called Lasa, and had one of the best reputations in Bilbao. It was a classic. Today the Artagan restaurant has the same ambition and is doing much to earn it. To get to the restaurant you can get the elevator at the Mellona exit in Casco Viejo. You can also get a bus that goes up to the Alto de Begoña from outside the Bilbao town hall (Ayunatamiento). It is an ideal place for family get-togethers and also business meetings. In this restaurant, tradition becomes an art. The specialities are all types of grilled fish and meat.

Stuffed mussels a speciality |
María Muñoz, 6 Bilbao, Vizcaya 48005 Spain +34 94 415 0855 |
The Baste bar is right in the heart of the old part of the city. It is ideal for a snack at midday, when the bar has speciality fried dishes, lovely little stuffed mussels, and little pieces of cod, washed down with good wine. This is also a good place for trying good Scottish, Irish or Valencian coffee. It is great for eating out, with a dining room offering beautifully-prepared, affordable daily menus.

Walking distance from Basílica de Begoña |
Virgen de Begoña, s/n Bilbao 48006 Spain +34 94 412 7257 |
This restaurant next to the "Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Begoña" started out back in 1970. All those who come here to visit the religious temple can't leave without visiting another temple, the gastronomic one. To get to both the restaurant and the basilica you take the Mallona elevator, which is at the Unamuno exit of Casco Viejo station. Those who are fit enough might want to work up an appetite by climbing the Begoña steps. Here you can enjoy "authentic traditional Basque cooking" and nothing less than the protection of the Begoña virgin, mother of Vizcayans. The star dishes at the Begoña are: spring onions stuffed with lambs' trotters, skewer of crayfish and monkfish, wild mushrooms baked with natural paté and steak fillet with Bordeaux sauce. The restaurant closes for holidays in August and Easter week. Review © 2007, Wcities |
