Famous for

Meat Dish, Andalusia

Pinchitos

Recommended by Fodor's Travel and 8 other food critics.
"The bar has two distinct sections: the elegant side near the dining room, and the older, more bare-bones Spanish side on the Calle Berástegui, with its plain marble counters and pinchos morunos de carne de cordero (lamb brochettes) as the house specialty."

Recommendations

"It's also a great spot for a drink or a few pintxos - the €2.30 pinchos morunos, or mini kebabs, are especially worth trying."
"Don't miss the delicious pinchos morunos (spicy kebabs)."
"The bar has two distinct sections: the elegant side near the dining room, and the older, more bare-bones Spanish side on the Calle Berástegui, with its plain marble counters and pinchos morunos de carne de cordero (lamb brochettes) as the house specialty."
"They’re fall-apart-in-your-mouth tender, and juicy with flavors of cumin and coriander. The bread on the side? They give you that to soak up all the spices and savory lamb drippings."
"If you want to try some delicious pinchos morunos you can choose Iruña, a typical Bilbao coffee place."
"If there’s a must of Bilbao, that’s Café Iruña, one of the best places to eat there! Incredible pinchos morunos."
"Because of its central location, pintxos morunos here are a bit more pricey, but still are served deliciously hot and spicy."
"The lamb was doused in an Arabic mixture of spices and the smell wafted out of the window, tempting passersby in the pedestrian-only street outside. These skewers, pinchos morunos, were a perfect pre-dinner snack, served with a hunk of crusty bread."
"As exaggerated as the Basques may be, they’re not kidding around when they’re talking about this pintxo. Called the Pincho Moruno, it’s a perfectly seasoned, perfectly tender lamb kebab, grilled to, well, perfection!"
