Very good pinchos

A lot of vegan options for pinchos and all the food I very good. Many typical pinchos are transformed vegan such as croquetas con queso y Jamon, vegan chorizo, vegan morcilla, vegan tortillas and other modern pinchos.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Vegan tortilla!! , 2.30euros cada pinchos

Place for a quick grab

Items that are labelled vegan most of the time seem to have eggs or tuna in it. Ambience and lighting can be better.

Pros: Good vegan sandwiches

Cons: Says vegan on the label but might have tuna or egg

La mejor variedad de pintxos.

Es uno de mis sitios favoritos a los que ir cuando quiero unos pintxos veganos, tienen la barra más generosa de todo Bilbao, casi más cosas veganas que no veganas. Además, casi siempre la tienen llena, incluso a horas más tardías de lo normal, por lo que rara vez te quedas sin.

En la carta las cosas se diferencian así, vegano y no vegano, cosa que me gusta bastante. Las opciones no veganas además suelen ser más caras, eso también me gusta.

He comido de carta sólo una vez allí y no fue una buena experiencia, se equivocaron y me pusieron burger de carne animal en lugar de la vegana. Al principio el camarero no me creyó mucho e insistía en que la carne vegana se parecía tanto a la animal que podía generar confusiones, pero finalmente me acabó dando la razón muy apurado.

Some great Vegan Options in Central Bilbao

A great central place to partake in the Basque Pintxo culinary scene. We had at least six options, ordering them all. The sandwich on the Foccacia was the best.

Pros: Central

Cons: Not Fully Vegan

Estos sí son pintxos

¡Aquí hemos triunfado! Dos días de bar en bar buscando pintxos veganos y estos son los mejores con diferencia. Menuda variedad. Casi hay más pintxos veganos que normales. ¡Y qué ricos! Si buscas pintxos veganos por Bilbao tienes que pasar. Cierto que no está en el casco antiguo, pero está cerca del Guggenheim por lo que seguro que en algún momento te pilla cerca.

Pros: Mucha variedad de pintxos veganos, Bien de precio

Vegan pinchos!

This was the first places we stopped in Bilbao. It was afternoon so they were only serving small bites (pinchos) but they didn’t disappoint! Not the healthiest but delicious!

3.5 stars really

Really great to have vegan Pintxos but the flavours were not amazing or unique
The chorizo was great and so was the mushroom and croquettes.

Great vegan pintxo!

Wanted to try their vegan pintxo and was not disappointed. Everything was tasty and not overly expensive as far as we’re concerned especially as we had wine too. We really enjoyed it. Staff speak some English if you don’t speak Spanish.

Pros: Vegan options clearly labelled, Very tasty, Good value for money.

Cons: Also serves meat dishes.

Careful! Doesn't do dinner.

Kitchen closes after lunch so for dinner you are stuck with left over pintos from lunch.
The sandwich was good, just don't expect to be having dinner. Good places for snacks.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: No dinner

Typically basque place, lots of vegan choices

I read the comments that staff is unfriendly but actually don‘t agree. This is a typical spanish place where you come in, order at the bar, get your stuff, eat, pay and leave. No pampering. No seating. You take care of yourself. I find it weird that everyone expects bar personal to speak English, if you want that maybe go to a tourist trap. This place has a ton of clearly labelled vegan choices, no explanation needed if you can read… I came here several times during my stay in Bilbao and loved that I had a choice of vegan pintxos that are super hard to find in Northern Spain. #Veganuary

Pros: Lots of vegan choices, clearly labelled, choice of „milks“, reasonable prices

Amazing vegan pintxos, unfriendly staff

So nice to be able to try traditional pintxos as a vegan. They have many choices. Some with vegan cheese and facon. We tried five pintxos. The mini burger with vegan bacon and onion ring was really good. My partners favorite was the schnitzel sandwich.
Staff doesn't speak English and was a bit grumpy and not helpful. They use signs to mark the vegan pintxos.

So happy and full tummy!

I loved coming here on a bust Friday evening. The place wasn’t packed. There were at least 10 different vegan options and 4 huge vegan tortillas de patata.
I had wine and 4 pintxos and the price was alright!

Pros: A lot of pintxos, Friendly to me, Friday not too crowded and enough food left

OMG so unfriendly!!! Was he having a bad day? Were we too gay? Too foreign? Many others on here say the same thing…
It’s amusing when you are so excited to try a place and bask in a vegan friendly atmosphere, and you have such a lousy experience!!! Especially with this vegan-ish name of Green Bistrot….

Pros: Maybe the location , Maybe outdoor seating, Beer on tap

Cons: Unfriendly, Unfriendly, Vegan pinxtos nothing special

Update: this place has a new name and is a great way to enjoy pinxos while being vegan. Many many options. I dont remember my previous (bad) experience.
