Reviews Summary
Nido Bilbao is consistently praised for its impeccable service, cozy yet elegant atmosphere, and high-quality Basque cuisine. Diners rave about dishes like the chuletón and beef carpaccio, and the attentive staff often goes the extra mile. While generally excellent, some reviewers find the prices on the higher side, and one noted a discrepancy with steak portion size. Despite this, the overall experience is highly recommended for a memorable meal in Bilbao.
"Had a fantastic dinner at El Nido! The chuletón was absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection, and the dessert was delightful too. The service was incredibly attentive, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. The atmosphere added a great touch, creating a warm and inviting environment. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!"

"The food, the staff and the place are great!
I've tasted the best Steak tartar ever!
My girlfriend loved the mushrooms and cheese cake, and still remember their taste after a week :)
We were lucky to get a last minute free table, and we don't regret coming to that charming place.
We'll come back for sure.
Agur!"

"Loved the place for the impeccable service and relaxing atmosphere. This restaurant is both cozy and elegant inside, perfect for a dinner date or a calm family gathering. Menu has a variety of categories(like fish, meat, etc), but not so many options in each of the categories, what, in my opinion, is a good thing. I think it would be great to add a vegetarian category too as I believe this restaurant has all of the potential to create awesome plant based main courses. I had a salad with fish and it came out to be very filling, because of the amount of fish and vegetables in it. The only thing that could be improved is a boiled egg on top, It made the dish look too simple, so swapping it for a poached egg for example would elevate the whole look of it as well as the taste, because the fish itself is quite dry. Other than that loved their dessert options, it has quite a few, and it tasted absolutely delicious. Also, the presentations were unique for each dish and pleasurable to look at.
Overall, I think the restaurant can be quite pricey, especially for the tourists who are on a budget, and the quality/price ratio could be improved. Still, it was a great experience and the place is worth a visit."

10 Amazing Places To Eat In Bilbao, Basque Country
Nido Bilbao may not look like your classic Basque eatery, with its cast iron columns, hand-painted murals and low-slung industrial bulbs looped across the ceiling. But the dishes here are all plucked from the area’s culinary heritage, arranged on the menu by the main ingredient – whether that’s Ibérico pork; free-range farm eggs; or indeed tripe. Don’t miss the beef carpaccio – it’s showered with flavoursome parmesan flakes, and is completely excellent.
