Mina is a small, intense tasting-menu restaurant that has quietly become one of Bilbao's most respected kitchens, holding a Michelin star. Long moored on the Muelle Marzana quay, it has since moved to Calle Ercilla in the Ensanche, but the essence is unchanged: a counter looking straight into the kitchen and cooking that is ambitious, seafood-driven, and deeply personal. Intimate enough that every course feels delivered rather than served.

The full tasting menu — there's no à la carte that makes sense here. The seafood courses are the heart of it, built on the day's Cantabrian catch.
Reservations essential, ideally a couple of weeks ahead. Ask for a counter seat to watch the kitchen work. Closed early in the week.
Now on Calle Ercilla in the Ensanche (it relocated from its original Muelle Marzana quay). Small room, set menu only — come hungry and unhurried. Confirm the address when booking, as older listings still show the riverside location.
