Markina delivered one of our best meals in Bilbao. The restaurant has a simple, traditional Basque feel where the focus is clearly on the food rather than trendy décor. We shared the Cantabrian anchovies, grilled scallop, heirloom tomato salad, grilled gambas, baby squid in its own ink, whole grilled fish with potatoes, and the Basque chuleton. Every savory dish was excellent. The tomato salad showcased the quality of the produce, the scallop was tender and flavorful, the squid was rich and satisfying, and both the grilled fish and chuleton were cooked perfectly. We finished with the Basque cheesecake and torrija, which were both excellent. The only disappointment was the service. It lacked attentiveness throughout the meal, and one of the drinks we ordered never arrived. We had to follow it up ourselves, and no one seemed to notice the mistake. It wasn’t unfriendly, but it certainly wasn’t as polished as the kitchen. The food is easily the reason to come here. If the service were brought up to the same standard, Markina would be one of Bilbao’s standout dining experiences.

We ordered multiple dishes for lunch, the food is really tasty. Overall I would say the service was good. The only thing that I was unpleasant surprised is that we were charged 11.40 euro for 3 small pieces of bread with olive oil, completely overcharging.

We really enjoyed our food at Markina. The service was excellent as well. We got our food in a timely fashion. We got the daily special that was only €17.5 which was very reasonable. We liked it so much while we were in Bilbao that we ate there twice in just five days.

The food here is absolutely delicious and well-prepared; every dish we tried was full of flavour and of high quality. For the culinary experience alone, this restaurant deserves high praise. However, my rating is tempered by consistent service issues that impacted the overall dining experience. Our server took our order incorrectly, resulting in an incorrect dish being served. After the necessary adjustments, our correct order arrived with significant delay. Additionally, the overall service pace was slow throughout the meal. The fish I ordered arrived only lukewarm, which affected its texture and intended enjoyment. It is a shame that such enjoyable food is let down by inefficient order handling and slow, inconsistent service. I hope the team can improve their order accuracy and timing to match the standard of their cooking.

The food was genuinely very good, especially the Zallo tuna salad, which was excellent We visited this restaurant for dinner without a reservation. While we were waiting for a table, we spent some time at the counter where they keep the pinchos during the day. The area was untidy and not particularly attractive, and we actually considered leaving. However, based on the recommendations we had received, we decided to stay—and we were glad we did.
