About Etxanobe
Etxanobe restaurant is amazingly sited above Bilbao’s second iconic building, the gleaming Palacio Euskalduna. Etxanobe is one of the hottest dining spots in the world right now, drawing breathless reviews from food-writers and food-lovers for the grand cuisine of chef/owner Fernando Canales. The post-modern décor of the two dining rooms – one of them available for private hire – features a fabulous ruched fabric ceiling, wittily skirted lighting, white linens and seating, and unforgettable views over the estuary and the Guggenheim from the terrace. Light pours in everywhere. Innovation is on display in every mouthful that emerges from Canales’ kitchen. There’s no menu of the day; you choose a la carte or a series of tasters. Dishes change monthly and may include deceptively simple descriptions like starter of lasagne of anchovies, main course of sole with pil-pil sauce and trout eggs, and home made dessert of cinnamon and rice puff-pastry with milk, though you’d be mad to miss the little chocolate bombs. The wines are excellent and the service is a mission unto itself – in a word, sublime.
Upon arrival, please inform the restaurant that your booking was made via toptable.

The regional cooking in this restaurant is first class and the service was excellent. They make the most of a brutal concrete room by good styling and the view is great. I can highly recomend this for any visitor to Bilboa who wants good regional cooking.Review
On our recent visit to Bilbao we had dinner at Etxanobe. Located in their cultural musical hall the restaurant has a very dramatic decor. The staff were very warm and some of the food was wonderful like the Seafood Soup. We were thrilled to have our bowls refilled after the 1st serving. My partner enjoyed his 2nd course of sliced beef but I found my typically prepared cod inedible. They were happy to replace it - but I'd lost my appetite.Review
Etxanoble is a really exquisite restaurant the settling is wonderful matched by the food. Prices are not for the fainthearted but well worth it in my opinionVisitors
