Zortziko is situated in a late 19th-century mansion. Zortziko has had great prestige since its founding but its proximity to the Guggenheim museum enhances it even further. The Zortziko restaurant is an institution in Bilbao. Imaginative and creative cooking is practiced here. It has three dining rooms, each with its own individual décor and vibe. One of them has a Versailles-like atmosphere, another is in the English style and the third is more contemporary. The specialties of this establishment will appeal to foodies who would like to experiment with the local flavors. Though the specialties vary seasonally, the culinary team is known for coming up with really innovative Basque cuisine. Their varied wine list is also worth a look.
Housed in an old warehouse, the Asador Kerren has been a local favorite for the tasty fare it has on offer. Grilled meats and fish are the specialties and they're best accompanied by fine wines like Viña Vallabona. The interior perfectly evokes the style and atmosphere of an authentic old tavern, with bare stone walls lit by old-fashioned wrought-iron lamps. The lunchtime clientele tends to be office workers, but this place is also popular among tourists who want a taste of the local flavors.
