Amazing little caffe - Edit
Small but cozy vegan caffe. The food on offer is really fairly priced and varied. I had the sushi and my partner the burger. Both home made and super tasty. The guacamole was the best I have had to date.
Definitely worth more than one visit ;)

Great burgers - Hamburguesas estupendas - Edit
I love this little and tiny cafe near Bilbao's river. Friendly owners and staff. Their burgers are among the best worldwide and the carrot cake is simply supreme!
Me encanta este pequeño y acogedor local. Los dueños muy majos. Sus hamburguesas están entre las mejores del mundo y su tarta de zanahoria es simplemente suprema.
Pros: Burgers, Toast with tomato, Friendly Owners
Cons: Opens a bit late, rarely suitable for breakfast

Sushi! - Edit
De viaje a Bilbao no desperdicié la oportunidad de ir a La Camelia y probar uno de los pocos sitios veganos de la ciudad.
Tardaron bastante en atendernos, supongo que porque ese día tendrían más trabajo de lo normal, pero su trato fue cordial.
Tomamos el sushi, que venían 6 piezas distintas, cada una de un sabor distinto, muy buenas todas. Los gyozas estaban riquísimos! Fue lo que más me gustó. El guacamole y el sandwich de seitán que pedimos no fueron nada del otro mundo. Y por último la hamburguesa que también estaba bastante bien. Recomiendo el sushi y los gyozas, sin duda alguna!!
El precio no es excesivo
Pros: Ambiente agradable, Buen precio, Buena comida
Cons: Mucha espera

Supreme food - Edit
I have visited "La Camelia" twice, and when I wanted to eat there at third time, it was full! This bar is getting better every time I am there.
It serves a lot of maki types (with sprouts, lentils, even with rose jam), vegeburgers, soups, gyozas, smoothies, etc. It is not the cheapest, but still affordable. And always have a great carrot cake.
Pros: delicious food
Cons: small (difficult to get a site), moderate prices

amazing food ! - Edit
We went twice there in a day! Delicious burger with guacamole an vegan cheese (that you can buy at the bar)
Lemonade and mojito (alcohol free option) are as good as the burger and the other dishes we tried !
Only con: the Avocados were not ripe enough !

bueno - Edit
Pedimos el menú y la burger. Estaban buenos y de ricos sabores lo unico es las cantidades y el pan de la burger. El menu dice 6 rolls más otras cosas que incluye, hasta donde sé 1 roll es la hoja completa de alga rellena de arroz, vegetales y cortada en 7-8 rueditas. Si me dicen 6 rolls yo me imagino 6 hojas rellenas y cortadas no 6 rueditas... las gyosas divinas pero poquitas. El pan de la burger estaba seco pero de sabor estaba bastante buena en general, la "carne" podría ser más gruesa asi el tamaño de la burger seria suficiente...
Pros: ricos sabores y buenas opciones
Cons: porciones

Nice food - Edit
My husband and I had dinner there and we enjoyed it. The portions are not huge but the food is tasty.
Although the dishes seem to be homemade, it's not the case for the sweet options.
The indoor seating space is very small (but nice with all the wood!) and there are a few tables outside.
Pros: Tasty food, Lovely atmosphere, Nice staff
Cons: Small indoor seating space

nice food - Edit
Nice, small place with friendly stuff. Tasty food, but really slow service. We waited for our sushi 1,5 hours so I recommend the place only if you has enough time to sit and wait.

Wonderful! - Edit
Tiny little cafe with really tasty food! I went as a group of four and we ordered two lots of the set sushi meals (€12) which included six pieces of maki with various flavours (lentil and mango, guacamole, miso, spinach, humus, and pickled ginger) as well as two sides, we went for the miso soup, a creamy vegetable soup, gyozas and guacamole (served with toasted bread) between the four of us. The waiter brought the sides out gradually, starting with the soups together then bringing out the gyozas, then the guacamole so we couls enjoy each dish properly, and it made a really good few starters for the main platter of sushi. All really good dishes and a really friendly waiter who did his best with speaking English. Definitely recommend visiting here for trying the set menu, plenty of food to share and very enjoyable! :-)

Nice New Vegan Restaurant - Edit
It really was nice to find this new restaurant in the North of Spain where all the food seems to be meat and fish all the time. This very artistic little restaurant has a very broad menu and a very nice person running the entire place. It was a crowded little place with great simple food and good prices too. Would highly recommend the vegan burger.
Pros: Great Location, Big Vegan Menu, Excellent Customer Service

Best Vegan Hamburger in Bilbao - Edit
La Camelia is a very special place with a 100%vegan menu. You can choose between different kind of vegan sushi, seaweed salads, hummus, guacamole... Or their last and best choice: THE Hamburger.Thei make their own hamburger, with really good bread, salad, vegan cheese... it's perfect.
Also, they have lots of teas and different sweet options to choose as dessert.
One of the best options in Bilbao, even if you're not vegan!
Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, good prices

great place - Edit
In a city that seems to specialise in meat and fish pinxos, it was a delight to find this quirky little place. We ate hummus, guacamole and quinoa salad all served with warm crusty bread and a bottle of wine. Simple food but great taste and a very reasonable price.

I would go back - Edit
I had the Base II menu with a Hijiki salad, 6 Makis and a drink for 11€. The food is freshly prepared and tasty. As I was in a hurry, the friendly personal made it possible to start eating shortly before the official lunchtime.
Cons: Not everything is organic.

Superb food - Edit
Just ate in here not one hour ago with my vegetarian girlfriend. The food was amazing, definitive proof that vegan sushi can be just as tasty and satisfying as any other kind.
