Reviews
Fantastic curb appeal from the exterior really makes the restaurant stand out and encourages you to enter. The decor is a high-end finish and the Pintxos looked fantastic, displayed under shining glass domes. We ordered four along with a couple of glasses of Crianza. The wine was excellent but unfortunately, the Pintxos were completely underwhelming. Both the Cod Pil Pil and the Crab Croquettes were bland and lacked any flavor. Unfortunately, we paid before realizing we had been overcharged. The staff were apologetic and refunded the overcharge without question.
Just a nice cover!😔 We were disappointed with our choice for dinner in Bilbao. The place is beautiful and atmospheric. They are well located. However the service was really bad. For our waiter we weren’t “important guests” and whole evening felt just pathos and disregard. Food was quite nice, but not so impressive. I wouldn’t recommend this place if only for pinchos near bar!
In the middle of a very touristic area, Victor Montes sticks out of the pack. High quality food with a beautifull dinning area. You can ear at the bar or terasse if you want to chill out. Service is really nice and food is great!
