Basquery

Top choice in Bilbao


Equal parts cafe, bakery, microbrewery and dining destination, this postindustrial, multiroom space has a stunning line-up of daily dishes, from vegan burgers to sausages with beer-and-mustard sauce, plus charcuterie and appetisers (eg sweet potato–stuffed mushrooms) that pair perfectly with the in-house IPA, golden ale and session stout. Its deli, stocking tinned fish, preserved veggies and more, is next door.
