Larruzz Bilbao

During my stay in the wondrous city of Bilbao, I planned on having a meal at Larruzz. I identified this restaurant by researching on Google Maps. The reviews were good, so I thought I'm going there! I didn't make a reservation before my visit, but luckily I was able to get a table. The staff who served me were very friendly and helpful. The service I received was excellent. I ordered 3 dishes. A really tasty starter. The main course of crayfish and prawn paella 🥘 was so tasty. I had a lemon 🍋 sorbet to cleanse my palate after I finished my main course plus a double espresso to keep me awake ⏰️. I was expecting a bill over €60 as I didn't look at the prices, but I was shocked when it was only €43 including a beer too! That's such good value for such a nice restaurant right by the river. The restaurant is well appointed too, and the decor top notch. I'd say, if you enjoy good food at reasonable pricing, then pay Larruzz a visit if you are in Bilbao, you won't be disappointed. 🙂

1/5 — Very Disappointing Experience We were required to have a reservation, but when we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty — and remained that way throughout our visit. The menu was confusing, and although our server attempted to explain it, they did so in a way that lacked professionalism and completely disregarded personal space. After placing our order, we waited an hour for our food. Unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the wait. The paella was bitter, the mussels had sand in them, and the small pasta dish tasted anything but fresh. This place presents itself as a high-quality restaurant, but the reality was far from it. Definitely not worth the hype or the price

Amazing place for paella and great value , but other main dishes are ok in my opinion. Many locals were in the restaurant when we visit. The service is ok, the food came faster than I thought.

Make sure that you have a booking before you go. Food variety was OK and portions were good. I had seafood paella and it was nice. The only annoying thing is instead of writing the full price of paella for two people writing per person price and adding "Min. 2 persons"😐

A truly beautiful restaurant. We had the most delicious paella we've ever eaten. We chose the one with chicken and shrimp. We would have liked to try more, but you always need two people for one type of paella, and the pans are quite large. We can recommend the restaurant.

Good autentic spanish food.

Asked for a table was told fully booked. Restaurant had three tables with customers So my party of six had a great meal at the Indian next door. Shocking attitude from the service agent clearly just wanted to go home.

Very decent food. Even with just a few service staff, I felt the service was not impaired and they did a good job. 🙂 Croquettes were particularly nice...very fluffy
