"Bilbao is not an easy place in which to make a name for yourself when it comes to food, however it is here that chef Álvaro Garrido decided to set up shop in a discreet building along the estuary, opposite the Ribera market. The pleasantly surprising interior decor of this restaurant, which owes its name to a former mine entrance that once existed beneath the building, features an open kitchen and a fusion of stone and wood (the bar is a single piece of oak) that combine with cutting-edge designer detail.Ably supported by his wife in the dining room, the chef conjures up innovative cuisine with a hint of fusion on a single tasting menu (a shorter option is also available) that features one or two signature Bilbao dishes. If you enjoy watching the kitchen team at work, make sure you take a seat at the counter." - Michelin Inspector
