Why we point you here

Traditional Basque cooking charted by Michelin's Bib Gourmand in a city that knows the genre cold.

Bilbao takes its traditional cooking seriously, so when Michelin points you to Al Margen with a Bib Gourmand, that vote of confidence carries weight. It's the kind of place worth building a night around when you roam beyond the usual pintxo circuit and want something rooted and real.
