Nido Bilbao

I had lunch here. the restaurant has an amazing quiet atmosphere where the brother of the owner painted the walls in an ala Japanese garden style and that is very charming. the food, service and the wine were all amazing, I wouldn't miss it on your...Trip here. it is not her place for tapas, they can eat a normal (and tasty!) here. I was alone, but nido has good rooms for couples and larger groups.

Eating was quite good overall. but the service was cruel. we were welcomed very rudely and we were told that we were not able to order appetizers without the entire order being completed. that was extremely basar. the wee and the water were brought out and tipped on the table without serving us. No one ever came back to the table without asking for service. the server ignored us and focused on local Spanish people, while two of our friends were fluent in Spanish. the server would spend their time at the adjacent table, which is very friendly with the natives and completely ignored us. they fought us beyond the difference between white asparagus and laughing, and beyond that they were very high. Seriously terrible service. tourist should not go to this restaurant.

Very nice. the salate was good. the mains were nice enough, but over price and were not even hot. expected more of the reviews. the personal could have been nicer too, we didn't get any alcoholic drinks or desserts and they didn't seem too happy about it... that wouldn't go again.

It was a perfect evening with an excellent service and delicious food. Site and service created a slowed down world of its own and allowed to focus on food and conversation and own thoughts.

If you want to try an excellent meal from traditional basque cooking this is the place in Bilbao. The chipirones en su tinta out of this world. Great selection of wines. Nice modern decor and excellent service
