My wife and I chose the menú degustación and the wine flight and were treated to a wonderful dining experience which fully lived up to our expectation of a Michelin star restaurant. Each course was inventive, delicious and highlighted local ingredients. The waiter and sommelier were very informative and helpful. A very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I recently dined at Restaurante Mina in Bilbao, and while the experience was overall enjoyable, there were a few aspects that left me feeling a bit underwhelmed, especially considering its Michelin Star status. I opted for the degustation menu, and while the creativity and presentation were impressive, the portion sizes were quite small, and many of the courses leaned heavily toward liquid meals or purees. At times, it felt like the restaurant forgot that diners might appreciate something to actually bite into.

That said, there were some standout dishes that deserve a mention. The smoked red mullet with cauliflower and cider was a flavorful combination, and the scallop cured in kombu paired with pork skin stew was unique, albeit a bit too soft in texture for my taste. The thirtieth bonito del norte was another interesting dish. From the dessert selection, "the sea" was particularly memorable—an intriguing blend of flavors that truly captured the essence of the ocean. Wine pairing for all the courses were carefully selected though.

Overall, while I appreciated the innovation behind the dishes, I left feeling slightly unsatisfied due to the small portions and the predominance of liquid textures. I believe there’s potential for a more balanced experience that offers both creativity and a satisfying meal.

The food was really good and the atmosphere was really nice, especially at the bar, having a prime view of how the team prepared every meal. The bold flavours used in some of the courses were remarkable.

The chef, Alvaro Garrido should be proud of this and keep pushing these tastes through his services.

There is also a good variety of wines available.
