Nerua
Nerua Guggenheim Bilbao
A one-Michelin-starred restaurant inside the Guggenheim Museum, reimagining Basque flavors with a focus on vegetables.
Located inside the Guggenheim Museum with a separate riverside entrance, Chef Josean Alija uses modern techniques to reshape traditional Basque flavors, centering his creations around vegetables. The signature starter is a peeled tomato infused with herbs and caper juice, where guests are invited to guess the herbs. Other dishes include sea bass in saffron broth and pickled vegetables with Iberian pork belly. Diners can choose between à la carte options or the Muina tasting menu, the latter priced at around €110, with wine pairings for about €50. Recent reviews have been polarized, so align your expectations accordingly. Booking directly with the restaurant in advance is recommended, and can be easily paired with a museum visit.
