About Restaurante HUBA
HUBA is a casual counter and table service spot in Abando that does what it does without fuss: solid food at prices that don't punish you. The bar's where the action is — sandwiches and pintxos that reviewers call "the best in Bilbao", made fresh and served by bartenders who actually pay attention. The menu del día runs €17.50–€18, three courses with a drink included, and it's packed with things slightly off the usual path (original salads, inventive dishes alongside classics like pasta) rather than playing it safe. Weekday breakfasts are quiet, which tells you something about the crowd. Weekend menus hit €40 and reviewers describe them as "outstanding" with generous portions and "superb desserts". Groups book it. Solo diners come back. The portions are real, the service stays attentive even when it's busy, and nobody's pretending this is anything other than what it is: a neighbourhood place that executes well.
What Stands Out
Menu del día that doesn't cut corners
Reviewers praise the set menu specifically: "3 courses and beverage is under €20", "great value for money", with one noting "tasty pasta" and "original" dishes alongside classics. Another: "menu of the day with 3 courses and beverage is under €18 euros" with "generous portions of appetizers, and delicious desserts."
Bar sandwiches and pintxos that stand out
A regular stated directly: "The sandwiches at the bar are the best in Bilbao." Multiple reviewers mention "Everything they have at the bar is delicious and well-prepared" and praise "classic pintxos" alongside "different and original options."
Service that doesn't disappear
Consistent across reviews: "bartenders are very attentive and professional", "great service", "always attentive to our needs", "excellent service received". One reviewer noted the staff "always have dishes that are a little out of the ordinary" — suggesting they engage with what they're serving.
