About Restaurante Lurrina

Restaurante Lurrina sits in the heart of Bilbao's casco viejo as a relaxed, welcoming spot where Basque tradition meets contemporary comfort. The two-level layout—ground-floor pintxo bar and upstairs dining room—caters to everyone from solo diners to families. Reviewers praise the quality of local cuisine, from delicate gourmet plates to generous portions on the weekend tasting menu. The wine list earns consistent mention, as do the cócteles and café. Staff are notably attentive and personable; the owner Franco is remembered for his warmth and guidance through the menu. The space is accessible for wheelchair users, includes high chairs and a children's menu, and even accommodates dogs with a dedicated corner. Reservations are recommended for lunch, dinner, and brunch. The atmosphere balances informality with polish—clean, well-lit, and unhurried—making it equally suited to a quick pintxo-pote or a leisurely tasting experience.
