De Zwarte Vosch Pinchobar & Tapasrestaurant

Amazing food with top class service. Chaim and his team took good care of us while we were celebrating our birthdays there. Be prepared to indulge the hot pinchos as the staff bring the fresh selections over your way at the table. Highly recommend this place and will be coming back soon.

The atmosphere was amazing! We had dinner in the border of the canal where ducks swam along. The staff was so kind and friendly. The food was delicious and everything looked clean and tidy :)

We have been here two times before the pandemic. Both times we enjoyed the cold and warm pinchos very much. This time we also ordered some tapas from the menu and a "jarra" of sangria. We liked the sangria very much (not too strong and nice balance of sweetness). The tapas (ribs, ceviche and croquetas) were really tasty. The variety of cold pinchos was nice and we loved the combinations of ingredients on each of them. The warm pinchos were very good too! It definitely remains on our list of favorite restaurants! During the weekend it should be packed but we came here during a weekday at 5pm (when they just Open) and it was nice and quiet and we sat downstairs for the first time.

This is my first time visiting a Pincho bar and i really enjoyed it! For a context, Pincho is the little food that you can see in the pictures (they are different from Tapas because they are served in a cocktail stick). The restaurant serve both warm and cold pinchos. There's there ways you can get your food: 1.For cold pinchos, you can go to the counter and pick the ones that you like; 2. For warm pinchos, the waiters will walk around every 10 minutes or so with a different ones and ask if you want them; 3. You can also order straight from the menu for a mix of cold pinchos where they just choose them for you. The restaurant also serve some really delicious tapas and you can order them from the menu. Almost all the pinchos we ordered have some funky combination that we have never thought of. Every Pincho is a surprise! On a little side note, we have to order quite a lot of them to be full. For food only (including dessert), we prob spend around 30e per person. For dessert we get a pistachio coulant and a homemade Santiago cake. I prefer the pistachio coulant better but they are both great. For those who like to try unique flavors, this is the place to visit! A little tip: Wait for the waiters to serve you warm pinchos (instead of ordering cold pinchos) because they are tastier (imo). Would definitely come back again.

We found a spot at the bar and ordered a few tapas and picked a few cold and warm pinchos. Some were tasty, some sounded interesting but where a bit plain, such as the beetroot tartar and some were overdone, such as the garlic chicken, which was dry. Several staff didn't speak Dutch, a strange experience we found in many establishments and stores around town. All in all too expensive for the experience we had.

Meh. Wasn't really authentic, very small portions for the price and we were served croquettes that were still frozen inside (sent them back and got new ones that were lukewarm). Tapas were served with the smallest bits of bread for dipping. Friendly but slow service.

Everything I tasted was soo delicious! Staff was also very polite and helpful. Looking forward to come back in spring and sit next to the canal.

Having dined at the birthplace of pinchos in Bilbao I can honestly say De Zwarte Vosch knows what they are doing. A great ambiance with friendly staff, a wide selection of cold pinchos and great tapas dishes (get the ribs!) and they make rounds with hot pinchos. Great vibes, great food.
