Lovely dinner

I had my first vegan meal in Bilbao here - the staff were great and helped me with my Spanish!

I had a delicious hummus bowl and the special was mac&cheese! Thank you, very delicious 😋

Not bad

Actually, I am not sure what to say. We've waited a little too long.
The food was 5/10, nothing special. I appreciate their focus on environment but the flavour was lack. But I would it even recommend as there are only 3 full vegan options in Bilbo.

Pros: Prices, Location

Cons: Waiting tima

Me ha gustado mucho

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.

Great food and plastic-free drinks

We hadden de salade en de tofuburger. De salade was heerlijk maar wat te veel (zoute) dressing, ik adviseer de dressing apart te vragen. Water is gefilterd bronwater zonder chloor, in glazen fles geserveerd. De hele kaart is plastic-vrij.

Pros: Verse salade, Goede tofu burger, Lekker water

Cons: Te veel te zoute dressing

Lush

We ate at a bit of an inbetween time so the kitchen didn't have the full menu.

However what we ate was all delicious.

Hummus with toasted bread and Carrots, smoked tofu in pitta (but was a burger bun cos pitta had run out) with potatoes which were hot and salty 😋, maki rolls and a chickpea salad. All great.

Dessert was the chocolate mousse (good) and the cheesecake (fab)

Staff were delightful

Wine was so light and so cheap I'd go back just for that

Pros: Good selection of dishes , All very tasty, Great staff

Cons: Didn't have everything available on the menu

Powered by plants

La Camelia's sushi menu including two starters and 6 big makis is great value for money. I went at peak hour in midst of Bilbaos annual festivities, thus waiting time was quite long (one starter arrived after 45 minutes), drinks got mixed up, which I didn’t mind as I had empathy for the staff. Apart from that, I thoroughly enjoyed both of the starters I chose: the beetroot gazpacho was rich and creamy and their version of a Russian salad with shiitake and pickles was my highlight. However, the fillings and brown rice of the makis weren't so much to my liking, so I wouldn’t repeat the sushi.

Classic good old veggie spot

Went with a family and shared a lot of stuff. Sushi is a bit unnecessary in my opinion, the brown rice and the combinations of flavors are not my thing. But I really enjoyed the rest of our order - burgers had a lovely veggie patty and nice toppings, gyozas were amazing, seitan pita was also very good. Chickpea salad had a lovely vinaigrette and the lemonade was amazing. I would definitely go again.

Pros: The atmosphere , Non processed foods, classic veg old school vibes

Cons: Sushi might be a reach for that place

Excellent

Arrived at La Camelia on yhe 15th august 24.
I had the delicious burger siempre. First bite was amazing. I finished it in two bites! I was there with my omni partner, vegetarian son and very picky omni daughter. They had the hummus and potatoes with the seitan. They loved it too. Would definitely recommend.

Bad experience

We arrived at 5:30pm and they were open until 8pm.
Waited until 5:50pm on the terrace as there was not really room inside.
The server came by our table several times, now not even looking at us, we assumed he was very busy.
When everyone was served, he didn't even come out.
So I went inside, 2 men were in the kitchen, noticed me, now didn't even look at me.
When I said, can I order, the man replied no not possible.
When I asked why, he said we are cleaning the kitchen for the next 2 hours.
So you will close now and not open again.
He said sorry and smiled me away.
Not even a drink or things the kitchen was not needed for possible.
Very disappointing.

Pros: Clear menu all vegan

Cons: Unfriendly arrogant staff

Good food

We loved the gyoza's. But overall the food okay and not really special. But it's a good place to stop as a vegan if you're just looking for some nice food.

Cozy and tasty

The hostess was very nice, the food was tasty. Wish the sushi would have had a bit more of an outspoken taste, if you know what I mean. Overall a good experience.

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff, Nice vibe

Cons: Sushi a bit bland in taste

Ok food

The salad was nice but the pita with seitan was very disappointing, as it had a super thin slice of seitan. I wish vegan restaurants in general catered for normal appetites, instead of just serving little food bites.
The sushi wasn’t really enjoyable.

Pros: Salads, Ginger ale homemade

Cons: Small portions, Price
