About Miribilla
Miribilla is a neighbourhood in Bilbao, Spain, home to 6 ranked independent restaurants and bars. All trending hot this week. 53% Spanish reviews. Rankings updated monthly from 6,613 live Google reviews.
Miribilla is the neighbourhood Bilbao built on top of its old mines. Construction started in 1998 on the slopes of Pagasarri. Today it has the highest birth rate per square metre in the Basque Country. Young families, new builds, a fronton. Five minutes downhill you're in the pintxo bars. Up here it's quieter. And there are 34 restaurants and bars worth paying attention to.
Dando la Brasa (4.4★, 1,559 reviews) is the standout. Spanish reviews describe it as "espectacular" with "the best ceviche I've ever eaten." Tolón-Tolón (4.7★, 935 reviews) specialises in aged meats on the grill. Bihotz (4.7★, 1,180 reviews) does craft beer and small plates in a space locals call "pequeño y con encanto" (small and full of character). ALMODOBAR (4.7★, 533 reviews) got one reviewer with "todo un descubrimiento" — the anchovies and the callos.
Bar Oh Berria (4.3★, 279 reviews) does pintxos, but the octopus is the one everyone talks about. Restaurante Manhu (4.7★, 225 reviews) has a piano and a cheesecake that keeps getting mentioned in reviews. TXUKRUT Surf Bar (4.5★, 615 reviews) is exactly as odd as the name sounds. Marhaba (4.5★, 649 reviews) does halal. Kartar (4.7★, 216 reviews) does Indian.
