Casa Rufo

I have tried many steak and especially cote de bæuf around the world and this is by far unassuming the best tasting. The charred and the grassiness of that piece of meat served to me is very memorable. Would definitely love to go back and try again!

We had an amazing lunch at Casa Rufo . The intimate comfortable atmosphere and amazing food was highlighted by a chat with the owner José Luis. It was a memorable dining experience and we are so happy we ordered the most delicious foods and wine. I highly recommended this dining experience. Muchas gracias José Luis.

Best steak we had in Spain! Better than the famous Casa Julian! The staff is super friendly as well! Had too much fun and Txakoli, so I forgot to get a photo of the steak! Amazing! You definitely wanna eat here!

After six days walking the Camino del Norte, we had a great diner @casarufo Bilbao last friday 31-05-2024 with people we’ve met during this Camino. She heard from a college about this restaurant and it was thruley a wonderful experience! The entourage is great, like you’re having dinner in a shop or wine cellar. When you enter the restaurant you think you’re at the butchers place, but in the back it looks like a real restaurant with several tables. And of course the food was great. Not high cuisine but just like food needs to be,: pure, simple and tasteful. We’ve had a great meal and wine; we took the option to share for 65 euro’s each, including a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine and two bottles of water and coffee. Not cheap for Spanish food, but worth it! We ate at 15.30, so it was a late lunch, but so much food that it was our dinner at the same time… I’ll highly recommend it, if only to see the ambiance: you’re going back into the last century.

We visited the restaurant specifically for the meat dish. Although we didn't ask for any starters, we were constantly asked by the staff if we wanted to order. This was a bit annoying because we already paid 78 euros for a steak for two people, which should be enough income for the restaurant. By the way, the wine menu was very successful and we liked the wine recommended. The taste of the meat was excellent for an average restaurant, but for a place of this price and quality, it could have been better.

We had a delicious meal here and we're accommodated despite not having reservations. For starters we ordered the asparagus which just melted in your mouth and the mushrooms. The mushrooms were incredible! The sauce was so yummy and it came with foie served on top. Some thing to watch out for of you're vegetarian. We shared the T-bone steak between the two of us and it was delicious. Served with french fries on the side. We were too stuffed for dessert.

Outstanding food and service! Took the family here. Great setting understated, but cosy. Had the smoked duck, foie and croquetas for starters - real homely food. The oxtail stew was superb and it’s not often you get a solomillo steak as good as this outside of Ireland! Fantastic selection of Riojas and traditional Basque desserts Highly recommended

First of all, I don't usually write a review, but I strongly felt that this experience should be shared with others. On May 22nd, my boyfriend and I dined at a restaurant where we ordered asparagus, mushrooms, and a t-bone steak. Unfortunately, the first two dishes were poorly done, but the t-bone steak was the worst. The meat was chewy, smelly, and old, and we strongly believe that it was not a real t-bone steak. We have eaten t-bone steaks before, and we can tell the difference. The restaurant was very pricey, but the quality of the food was lower than that of an average midnight doner shop at a train station. Even though we left the steak unfinished, the server did not ask how we found the food. It was evident that we were not satisfied with the meal, but no questions were asked. Moreover, the waiter did not act transparently or professionally. When we paid the bill, he only listed the items we had ordered without sharing the printed bill with us. We had ordered two glasses of red and white wine. When the server poured the red wine, he did not explain the wine and hid the label with his hands. Even in a pizza restaurant with a casual setup, we were presented with a label and explanation for a glass of wine. We found his manner unprofessional. Our bad experience with the food combined with the waiter's unprofessionalism left us with doubts and questions. We are still in shock. 제발 가지 마세요. 기분 좋게 저녁 먹으러 왔다가 여행까지 망치고 돌아갑니다.
