Zarate

"The history of Zarate is that of a man passionate about fishing and the sea, to the point where he has been able to reinvent himself – a process that included adding a gourmet fish shop to his existing restaurant.Chef Sergio Ortiz de Zarate started his career in Lekeitio (Vizcaya), where he began to make a name for himself thanks to his superb baked wild fish. His traditional cooking gained further recognition following his move to Bilbao and a widening of his repertoire that involved more modern dishes and a focus on locally sourced ingredients. The strong guiding principles of Zazate are undoubtedly based around his exceptional knowledge of fish – Cantabria’s finest raw ingredient that he sources daily from the ports of Lekeitio and Ondarroa." - Michelin Inspector

My favourite gourmet restaurant in Bilbao, which I try to visit once a year. Very fresh produce, allowed to take the center stage, with gentle cooking styles, sauces and condiments. This is true basque cuisine with a very slight innovative touch (helps maintain the Michelin star 😉). When in season try the large quisquillas and the angulas. The service is very genuine, professional and attentive.

Don't hesitate one second just book your table, go & enjoy serious basque cuisine cooked to perfection. Indulge into the unique experience of the Chef's table. Loved the idea of sharing several starters that were served individually for each guest.Thank you Chef

We came to the restaurant with my husband on his birthday. I have never seen such a terrible discussion anywhere. The expectations of a Michelin-starred restaurant were much higher. When we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty. We waited for the menu for 15 minutes, they didn't tell us anything about the cuisine, dishes. The staff did not smile once. The food was interesting and delicious.

We really enjoyed the dishes we ordered and the atmosphere was relaxing. The staff was very attentive. This is a great way to try Michelin-quality seafood in Bilbao. My favorites of the night were the green rice with seafood and the sea bass with lemongrass cream. My girlfriend's favorite was the "cigalas." I originally wanted to try the "reí" but it is prepared for 2 people only, so try to bring someone with you to share it! Tip: if you're interested in the tasting menu, make sure you ask for it in advance! (We didn't know this but still really enjoyed ordering à la carte)

Im not a fish or seafood person so I didnt enjoy as much. My family loved it. There are about 12 to 14 small dishes, mostly fish and seafood! My favourite was the mustard based dessert. It was also the more budget friendly michelin stars.

Yessss! Please, at least once a month! But only as once a week might be a bit much… We went for the 11-course-menu. Sounds great and is great. The sommelier suggested wines to go with the dishes. We’ll definitely buy some of these great whites and reds. Fresh fish, one after another. Friendly service, surely worth a visit.

Good restaurant which specialises in seafood. Some of the dishes from the tasting menu were incredible, others not so. Service was good.

Good experience. Food was good as well as service. Something we missed was the didn't offer pairing service. The service also was ok but not enough to be Michelin Star restaurant. We also missed a bit of explanation of the dishes.
