About Restaurante Blanco y Negro Bilbao
Blanco y Negro is a neighbourhood restaurant in Miribilla that trades on generous portions, reasonable prices, and staff who actually want to talk you through the menu. It's the kind of place where a group of 11 can eat well for €22 per person without wine, where croquetas come as a tasting flight of 3 types, and where the kitchen knows how to handle bacalao and langostinos when they're paying attention. The room is pleasant, the wine list is solid, and on a quiet night you'll get the space to breathe. But it's inconsistent — recent reviews suggest the kitchen and management have shifted, and what used to be a reliable choice now delivers mixed results. Dishes arrive heavy with oil, proteins are sometimes dry or oversalted, and service slows to a crawl during groups. The croquetas are either excellent or taste of raw flour depending on the night. It's the kind of place that used to earn repeat visits and now gets one-off apologies.
What Stands Out
Generous portions at fair prices
Multiple reviewers praised 'raciones generosas y a un precio muy razonable' and noted €22 per person for a group of 11 with shared plates and water. One visitor called it 'a great stop for tapas and drinks' with 'reasonable' pricing.
Staff who engage with the menu
A reviewer noted 'El servicio muy atento y con muchas ganas de explicarnos todo' (attentive service keen to explain everything). Another found the staff 'friendly' despite the venue's unassuming exterior.
Croqueta tasting flight
A reviewer specifically highlighted 'Tienen una degustación de 3 tipos [de croquetas] que está bien' — a 3-type croqueta tasting that works as a shareable starter.

The venue currently shows as closed every day of the week. Check their website or call ahead before visiting.
Yes, the restaurant takes reservations. This is especially useful for groups — recent reviews mention dining parties of 8 to 11.
Expect €22 per person for a group meal with shared plates and water. Individual dishes and wine will push that higher, but reviewers consistently note the value is fair when the kitchen's on form.
The 3-type croqueta tasting is worth ordering. Bacalao and langostinos appear on the menu, though recent reviews suggest quality varies — ask the staff what's fresh that day.
Recent group diners reported slow pacing between courses. Solo or small-group visits seem faster, but expect gaps if you're part of a larger party.
