6 brunch rooms in Bilbao we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Bilbao | Brunch across every city.
Brunch in Bilbao tends to mean a specialty coffee bar that also does a proper plate, rather than a fixed weekend ritual. Arvo Specialty Coffee on Calle Barraincua, with a second site in Deusto, and Bihotz on Calle Aretxaga are the modern choices. For something more classic, the grand cafe rooms of Cafe Iruna and Cafe Bar Bilbao serve all morning, and La Camelia Vegan Bar covers the plant-based side.
