Basque Cuisine: In recent years the Basque Country has become one of the leading regions worldwide in terms of Gastronomy, being home to some of the most prestigious restaurants and chefs in the world. But gastronomy is so much more than this in the Basque Country!, it is at the core of the Basque culture; best food and wines are always part of every celebration, gathering or social event. For the Basques ‘Food’ is almost a religion.
In BilbaoTourGuide we choose the best locations to make an approach to this culture. Here are some examples of what we can offer, always trying to fit your preferences and budget.
Pintxo’s tour: Discover with BilbaoTourGuide the best daily Pintxo’s of the moment, authentic cuisine in miniature. Whilst looking for the best Pintxo’s we will visit the city in a different way and we will make the ‘Txikiteo’ (bar hoping) as the locals do.
‘Txakoli’ winery: Come with us to know the secrets of this typical Basque wine of growing prestige. We will take you to an exclusive ‘Txakoli’ winery placed on a magic location and the owner of the winery himself will show you everything about the origin and elaboration of this wine. We will end the visit with a wine tasting session surrounded by an astonishing panorama.
Cider House: In Basque we call a Cider House ‘Sagardotegia’. These are an institution of the local culture. Family or friend gatherings take place around the barrels where the cider is directly poured out of. We will take you to one of the most famous Cider Houses of the Basque Country and you will taste the typical Cider House menu consisting of: cod omelet, other cod delicacies and the best local T-bone steak (we can also offer an alternative menu).
Michelin stars restaurants: The tradition for good food has always been at the core of the Basque culture, and based on this tradition the last decades there’s been an enourmous development in the Haute Cuisine over the last few decades, creating the so called ‘New Basque Cuisine’. As a result the Basque Country has the highest rate of Michelin star restaurants per person in the world, with up to 16 Michelin star restaurants.
In BilbaoTourGuide we can give you advice or manage the booking on some of the best Michelin star restaurants in the Basque Country.
Idiazabal cheese: the local cheese with the ‘Idiazabal’ certificate of origin is said to be one of the bests in the world. This traditional cheese is made from the local ‘Latxa’ sheep’s milk variety. We suggest you to come with us to a farm where this cheese is made. We will also visit the Shepherd’s school where the shepherd dogs are trained.
