Historic Pintxos and Basque Flavours in Plaza Nueva
Víctor Montes is a classic Basque restaurant in Bilbao that captures the energy of the old town while serving some of the city’s most appealing pintxos. Located on Plaza Berria, this historic spot is loved for its lively atmosphere, beautifully arranged bar, and broad selection of small plates that invite you to taste your way through local flavours. It’s the sort of place where the experience is just as important as the food, and both deliver.
Visitors often highlight the creative pintxos, from smoked ham and oozy cheese to anchovy with olive, along with crisp Txakoli wine that pairs perfectly with the bar snacks. There’s also plenty to enjoy beyond the pintxos, including foie gras, artichokes, and rich meat dishes that show off the kitchen’s range. The service is efficient, the setting feels authentic, and the whole place has the buzz of a true Bilbao institution. For anyone searching for a memorable pintxos bar or a lively restaurant in Bilbao, Víctor Montes is a must-visit.

in the last weekSorprendente. Carta dei vini di prima scelta, piatti squisiti e creativi, rapporto qualità -prezzo pazzesco ( soprattutto per me che vengo da Milano) Personale super cortese e competente. Il migliore nella Plaza Nueva e forse di tutta Bilbao

in the last weekThe ox stew was impossible to eat, extremely chewy all nerve very few meat. I have asked them to change it, and they did, but the second plate was no different. Pintxos were average taste. Beef carpaccio was ok. Dessert was no good. There are better places in town taste wise.

in the last weekBuenos pinchos, puedes comprarlos en la barra y luego sacarlos a la terraza. Situado en plaza nueva en pleno casco viejo de Bilbao
