About Restaurante Amaren
Restaurante Amaren is Abando's celebrated grill, commanding attention through its signature beef—aged Galician cow, berrendo beef matured 150 days, and carefully sourced cuts presented with theatrical precision via tabletop grills. Regulars praise the "exquisite selection of meats and wines," while the wine list rivals the best in the neighbourhood, spanning Spanish classics to international selections. The atmosphere balances exclusivity with genuine warmth: soft lighting, elegant décor, and a relaxed tone that welcomes both intimate dinners and family celebrations. Service is consistently described as "professional," "impeccable," and "anticipatory"—staff like Juan, Natalia, and Mirela are named across reviews for their knowledge and attentiveness. Desserts (chocolate bomb, torrijas) and house aperitivos (beef gyoza) round out a meal that reviewers call "worth travelling to Bilbao for alone." Reservations are strongly recommended for all dayparts.
