About Kasko jatetxea
Kasko jatetxea anchors the Casco Viejo dining scene as a neighbourhood fixture that balances local regulars with visiting travellers. The kitchen excels across rice dishes—paella and arroz con alioli draw consistent praise—alongside Basque classics like txuletón, rodaballo, and carrilleras that showcase careful sourcing and technique. A standout wine list pairs with excellent beer and cocktail selections; live piano music creates an informal yet polished atmosphere that feels both welcoming and occasion-worthy. The €20–30 price point delivers remarkable value, especially the weekday menú del día and weekend set menus, which offer multiple courses, wine, and dessert without pretension. Wheelchair accessibility spans entrance, dining space, and facilities. Reservations are strongly advised for lunch, dinner, and brunch, as the restaurant fills quickly with both locals seeking reliable comfort food and tourists discovering authentic Bilbao dining.
Kasko jatetxea is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.

What Customers Say
Primera vez en Bilbao, en el Casco Viejo, entramos por casualidad a Kasko y fue tremenda experiencia. Raquel muy amable y atenta, nos presentó pintxos increíbles. Pedimos el txuleton vasco y fue la mejor opción. Menú ensalada, txuletón, acompañamientos, postre y café. Volvería mil veces
Très bonne découverte, personnel accueillant, un coin pour les tapas (non testés) et un coin plutôt restaurant. Côté restaurant une très bonne paella et un cheesecake délicieux !! Un repas sous les notes de piano d'un monsieur bon musicien ☺️
Hoy día, 22 de marzo de 2026, a pesar de la hora tardía para dar menú, hemos comido de maravilla. Una paella buena, pochas en su punto, rodaballo muy fino y unas carrilleras de infarto, finas,jugosas. Un gustazo el haber comido en el Rte. kasko
