FOOD

The Basque Country is noted for its internationally renowned culinary heritage. Basque cuisine is wide-ranging and varied; it is based on ingredients sourced from the Cantabrian sea (fish and seafood) and from the local gardens and farms (vegetables, cereals, meat, etc.). But if any one feature stands out in our gastronomy, it has to be the use of seasonal, top quality produce.
In Bilbao, you will find a wide range of traditional cuisine and also nouvelle cuisine, based on innovation and creativity, to choose from.
