ortua is located very close to the guggenheim-bilbao, occupying a spacious room filled with homey table settings. like most vegetarian places in bilbao, ortua is not vegan, but the waitress and kitchen had no problem accommodating me. for a starter i was given a simple salad -- nice because it was all fresh vegetables (not always the case in bilbao veg restaurants!). the second course was a pureed broccoli soup, and the final a paella. nothing phenomenal but all very pleasant. i skipped the dessert. total for lunch: 10.50 euros. ortua also has juices and teas. compared to my experience at garibolo, ortua is much, much better. nice light fare and very accommodating to vegans.
Pros: good food for vegans, good value, healthy food
Cons: set menu so limited options, very simple ambiance, not very exciting food
