Basque gastronomy and Vizcaya's typical food are well known all around the world. The quality of the products used and the skills of Vizcaya's cooks contribute to this international fame.
Bilbao is home to the best Basque restaurants and chefs. Its restaurants range between the Michelin star awarded restaurants and the less sophisticated steakhouses, cider houses, taverns, outdoor bars or "txakolis".
You will surely find a quality restaurant that fits your taste and budget. There are also "poteo" bars offering "pintxos", "tapas" and "banderillas" in the Old Quarter, "Pozas" or Deusto.
