Es gibt doch vegetarische Speisen in Bilbao - Edit
Sehr gemütliches familiäres Restaurant. Das viergängige Menü ist genau richtig. Die Menge und die Qualität passt sehr gut.

Fresh 4-ever! - Edit
When I first went vegetarian, way back in the 90s, pretty much all Bilbao could offer in the way of veggie food was the unassuming Restaurante Vegetariano, located in Alameda de Urquijo, and of course, the remaining giant, Garibolo. Sadly the former shut down over a decade ago, which perhaps compelled the latter to expand its location and has now two canteens at its disposal. Now under new management after its previous owner retired, Garibolo continues to offer largely the same type of food: salads or juices as a starter, a stew, pasta or a similar dish as a main course, and a soup or cream in between. For quite some time the vegan desserts weren't many, but currently they have a choice of 3-4, which I find more than passable.
Read moreI have never thought this type of fare was going to turn meat-eaters into vegans, but I suspect that's not their intention either. They simply provide homemade, filling food that most locals are familiar with, and only recently, because of the new owner, have they started taking certain risks: zaalouk (sort of Moroccan ratatouille), a lasagne that can be veganised, or the occasional curry dish.
Most things change but Garibolo has no desire to embrace the latest trends. Instead they have chosen to follow their own traditions and policies, as per their website: 90% of their produce is fresh, local and/or organic, 5% might be frozen, and 5% might be canned. By all accounts, fresh food indeed.

Un restaurante con años de trayectoria, vegetariano con muchas opciones veganas. Comida casera y de puchero de toda la vida, buenísima. Sales con la tripa llena y con muchas ganas de volver. Siempre te ponen una botella de agua y panes variados incluidos en el precio. Servio siempre muy rápido.

Not bad - Edit
This restaurant is a good option for a cheap lunch in a picturesque place but don’t expect amazing food, specially if you’re vegan. I specially dislike the fact that they almost never have a vegan dessert other than fruit 🥲

Pocas opciones veganas - Edit
Menú limitado para veganas. De las opciones que había que podían ser veganas, una ensalada me la trajeron sin salsas (ni siquiera un poco de aliño) y no tienen ningún tipo de proteína vegetal, solo verduras. No volvería ni lo recomendaría para gente vegana. Pero entiendo que quizá para vegetarianas es una buena opción.

En ese caso has tenido muy mala suerte o estás en un error. Ayer mismo visité este lugar, y tenían, aparte del aliño de mi ensalada, un buen número de bolsitas individuales con aceite y demás en la mesa. En cuanto a la proteína vegetal, tenían un estofado de alubias, y si miras el menú de hoy verás que ofrecen un potaje de lentejas. Eso sí, no creo que trabajen mucho el tofu, el tempeh o el seitán, pero proteína hay.

Good food, good value - Edit
I went here twice for lunch while I was in Bilbao. I ordered the meal of the day both times and it was very good. It's also a good value. This restaurant has been here for a long time and it really can fill up at lunch time. You might even want to make a reservation if you are going at peak times or with several people.

Just Amazing - Edit
15€ menú with starter and 2 main dishes dessert. Very tasty and huge quantities. I would recommend order the lightest option as a starter because in some point you will not be able to finish everything.
Read moreThe owner was very friendly and polite. He was smiling the whole time I was there and we were joking and chatting. Definitely best Vegetarian option in Bilbao.
Pros: Cheap , Tasty, Vegan options

Surprisingly not very vegan-friendly - Edit
Garibolo was Bilbao's first vegetarian restaurant, so it is longstanding and perhaps groundbreaking and has therefore become a local staple for traditional vegetarian food. It's large and accommodating for bigger groups and the menu left us very full for a pretty decent price.
Read moreAll that said, I found that they were not well prepared to offer vegan versions of their dishes. They would simply remove the creamy salad dressing or the cheese from a vegetarian dish resulting in a flavourless and soggy vegan option. Our Albanian server was a gem of a human, but the owner was openly annoyed with me every time he had to clarify whether something they brought to the table was vegan. From vegetarian places I typically expect more preparation and creativity for vegans, but they still rely very heavily on dairy and eggs and were surprisingly unwelcoming about my strict veganism.
Overall, much better vegan food can be found elsewhere in Bilbao.
