Ametza - Bilbao

We stopped here during a recent visit to Bilbao and were pleasantly surprised by the meal of the day. All courses were fresh, nice size and well prepared. Service was friendly, with an invite to come back at night when there would be music.

Only a short walk from the Guggenheim we were weary and had time on our hands before heading off to the airport. We only found this authentic place to eat because a local kindly recommended it to us, even drawing us a map. We ate in the early evening and chose the excellently priced menu del dia €15 pp for 3 courses, wine and coffee. For starters we shared two dishes a mixed salad which came with tuna, and green beans served with new potatoes, olive oil and garlic. For mains we both chose the hake which came fried with real chips and a few fried green peppers. For desert we again shared, slices of apple custard tart and cheesecake. The starters and mains were cooked to order and served quickly and politely. Excellent value, good tasty food in simple surroundings, we ate in a mezzanine dining area above the bar and didn't need to eat anything else for the rest of the day!

Después de su excelente tratamiento y exquisita cocina tradicional. no se pierda la merluza al romano con salsa de chipirones en su tinta o bacalao con piperrada. mucho nivel de una pequeña cocina. buen menú de vinos de la tierra.

Trato muy personal, pequeño pero cómodo lugar. muy bueno en general. recomendado.

Muy buen trato. todo lo que pedimos por muy rico y mi bien presentado y cuidadoso. mención especial a los chipirones en su tinta, riquísimos.
