Interesting vegan dishes - Edit
This small vegan restaurant had some dishes such as bulgogi and sushi that were interesting, and not always found in other places. The food itself was tasty, but on the expensive side for what it is. The service staff also seemed rather bored. Overall a nice experience, worth a try if you are nearby.

La Camelia Delivers - Edit
A genuinely enjoyable bar that is 100% plantbased, giving a decent choice of delicious food and drink. We had the first choice burger and the curcumin, handmade pitta tofu plate, washed down with a 500ml bottle of house vino tinto. We greedily added on the patatas option for both meals and heartily agreed what a wise decision we had made! Lovely food and surprisingly good wine, only outshined by the amazing service shown. (Thank you Uma Thurman, you know who you are!)

Welcome vegan delight - Edit
La Camelia is a delightful vegan restaurant with a real Basque/Iberian character. The menu has several excellent options and the staff can guide you. I had the Burger la de Siempre with roasted potatoes and their ginger ale, followed by a truly delicious chocolate mousse. A must for vegans and anyone else visiting Bilbao.

Was expecting a bit more - Edit
I had a decent vegan burger with vegan cheese and a side of pan fried potatoes. It was okay but not spectacular and I had been expecting more given the rave reviews.
Read moreTo drink, I had the homemade ginger beer. It was a nice drink with apple included, but not very gingery.

Volví y quedamos decepcionadas - Edit
Update 22.07.2025: Volví ayer y compartí entrantes con una amiga. Todo muy seco; pedí salsa de soja para poder comer los entrantes lo cual hizo la comida bastante salada. Calidad-precio desproporcionado para dos entradas por 13€. Me arrepentí de no haber cogido la Hamburguesa Nueva que me cogí la última vez. Además que por 2€ más y como plato principal, más habría venido a cuenta.
Read moreObvio: le comenté a la camarera/dueña que no habíamos quedado satisfechas y el porqué.
Después de estar vez no creo que vuelva sobretodo cuando las opciones veganas en Bilbao son tantas y mucho más baratas y generosas en comparación.
————-
Estuve hace muchos años por primera vez y la hamburguesa se me quedó grabada en la memoria por estar seca y algo insípida. Como ha pasado tanto tiempo desde aquella vez, he vuelto hoy por curiosidad. Pues me he quedado gratamente sorprendida de lo buena que estaba la hamburguesa „La Nueva“. Así que volveré pronto.

Amazing food!! - Edit
Really nice owner and amazing food!! My non vegan Mom and Step-dad were really happy too!! I had the seitan pita (I think it was called that) And the gyoza, and it was so good, my mom talked about it for literally 3 days, and told the owner 3 times how good it was!

Expensive and small portions - Edit
It’s the first time I’m disappointed in a vegan restaurant😒the food was good (nothing exceptional but good!) but the portions were the size of appetiser with the price of a dish in another country (13€, more expensive than a standard dish in Spain). It would have been ok to pay this price if the portions were bigger (my seitan tropical literally had 4 small bits of seitan in it) The wait was also long and service not friendly. It’s good cause it’s hard to find vegan food in Bilbao but if you’re not there for a long time, I would recommend the other vegan restaurant in this city. We didn’t try anything else but I hope that other things are more filling/more special.

Totally worth the wait - Edit
I went there after a skinpy breakfast and had a spread and the seitan pita. Totally recommended! The kitchen is small, so be prepared to wait and don’t come in a hurry! The food may be too salty to some, but it was just the way I love it for me!

Okay - Edit
We went here after reading several positive reviews. Unfortunately, we were disappointed as the food was quite flavorless. It could use some seasoning and maybe more «interesting» ingredients. The soup was great though.

Lovely little vegan restaurant - Edit
We went on a very busy Saturday night and luckily managed to get a table for 2. We had the gyozas and bulgogi, both delicious.

Disappointed - Edit
Ate here a few days ago. Had the burger / sandwich with seitan and SO had the one with tofu. It has the merit to exist, but if you can go somewhere else, you should. Or at least order something else. It wasn't very tasty and it was terribly overpriced for what it was. No one should use tofu without marinating it in a sandwich in which it's the main ingredient 🥲
