Small amount but tasty

I ordered the vegan fajita and had to order some fries to be full up. Even though, everything tasted very well.

Amazing as always

I love going to La Muga for a drink and some puntazos, very centrally located right in the casco viejo. I love that their vegan pintxos change frequently, but I wish that they’d keep all of them Ian as regulars because they are all delicious!! This weekend they had serían spring rolls and quinoa burgers, both absolutely amazing.

Pros: Nice place with terrace, Very well priced

Cons: Only some vegan options

Muchas y buenas opciones

Uno de mis sitios favoritos para tomar bocadillos o hamburguesas. Hay tantas opciones vegetarianas y veganas como carnívoras. Ideal para ir con amigos con gustos distintos. Barato y con personal amable. Me gusta mucho comer en su terraza

Pros: Bocatas y hamburguesas geniales

Amazing seitan

Prettier than average place with a good array of vegan options, some vegan pintxos and basque inspired vegan sandwiches.
Most remarkable things include how similar vegan options are to non vegan counterparts, often being similar options with a few changes and, most of all, the excellent quality of the seitán used in this recipes : juicy, flavorful, meaty... Yeah, maybe avoid if you're GF, but for me, it's dreamy.

Only one vegan pintxo but other options

They only had one type of vegan pintxo (a delicious sandwich with seitan, I must say), other times they have up to two types. However they had many other vegan dishes like sandwiches, burgers and bokatas. Very beautiful place. Would recommend if you're coming with omnivorous friends😄

Pros: Many vegan options

Cons: Only one/two vegan pintxos (but very good)

Comida buenísima!

A este bar/restaurante sólo le queda ser 100% vegano para ser perfecto. Sirven bocatas, hamburguesas, pintxos y kebabs, y más o menos la mitad de la carta es vegana o vegetariana. Además el ambiente es muy top.

Great vegan pintxos

Went there for drinks and pintxos - I’d say that they had least four of five vegan options. I had three of them and they were all super yummie!

Pros: Choice

Friendly bar with excellent food choices for vegans and vegetarians.

We had delicious nachos to start, which included aubergines and courgettes! Then a triple decker tofu and avocado sandwich with peppers. Also, a seitan baguette with peppers. All delicious! We would return!

Pros: Lots of vegan and vegetarian options , Friendly, relaxed atmosphere , Outside seating

Cons: It also serves meat, so not wholly vegan , None, None

Great atmosphere great food

Great bar selling pintxos, 4 out of 10 were vegan. Staff very helpful with our poor Spanish. Kitchen opened at 9pm with great selection of veggie and vegan burgers and kebabs. Had the feel of a local bar with positive vibe (young and old couples, small groups of young men and women). Only 4 stars as happy cow only allows max of 4 for non-vegan.

Vegetarian pintxos and dishes

There are many vegan and vegetarian dishes on the menu. They are very good. There are usually some pintxos as well. It is a rock place, so the music is nice and it is full of concert posters. There are several Basque craft beers.

Pros: Many and good dishes, Rock bar, Many beers

Cons: It is usually crowded

I couldnt believe there is something like this in Bilbao

This restaurant is not fully vegetarian or vegan, but almost all its menu is vegan!! Basque cuisine is known for being one of the best in Spain and in the world, but it is basically based on meat and fish. I had a tough moment trying to eat in Bilbao, but finally i discovered this place. I feel so good when I think about this place. The food was super tasty! The staff was great and helpful. All in all a perfect experience. Cheap tapas (pintxos here) and bocadillos (sandwiches). No doubt if you are going to Bilbao and you are a vegan this is your place

Pros: Super tasty, cheap prices, Nice staff

Cons: happycow doesnt allow to rate 5 stars,, coz its not fully veggie but its worth them

Never coming back

Today was the day when I decided not to go to Muga anymore. I've been there a few times but today I had enough. I saw a piece of what seemed bacon and I freaked out. I went to the barman to ask for an explanation and he said that he couldn't say anything (he didn't even apologized, he only tried to turn that on me). Never got an apology or anything. I ran away with sadness and anger knowing that I ate a piece of flesh because in the kitchen someone was too careless to give a damn about my vegan sandwich.

Good vegan options for some pintxos non-veggie friends

I was looking for a veggie friendly place to have some pintxos and a drink with non-vegetarian friends.
There were 4 tasty vegan options, many vegetarian ones and a few including meat/fish. All my friends were very happy about the veggie and non-veggie pintxos! :) The prices are very low for a veggie friendly place.
The white wine was also delicious.
The staff was friendly.

Pros: Vegan options, Price

Cons: none

Vegan pintxos

Stumbled upon this place walking downtown. Asked for vegan pintxos, they had two options, I can't say which one was best. The kitchen was closed, so I didn't get to try other menu options. Really recommend it!

Pros: Delicious vegan pintxos

Looking for vegan "pichos"

We went there because we saw they had vegan "pinchos". Only one. That was a little frustrating, but we stayed anyway. The staff was very friendly. I ordered the only vegan "pincho" and... It tasted delicious!! My non-vegan friends told me other "pinchos" were really good too.
The place wasn't expensive.
I really liked the decoration too.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good food, Good place

Cons: Only one vegan "pincho"

Don't be affraid and you will be WELL served

It was a nice surprise when I was a first time to this bar (it is a must visit when I am to Bilbao) . It is like a typical old and dirty rock bar, but when you go in and see the menu your eyes open with so many vegan options! Sandwiches, vegeburgers, salads, etc. It is all delicious (although a bit oily). It is cheap, so you will be even more surprised with it.

The only complain that you can have are the bartenders, they are quite specific and not always nice. But don't be affraid of them.

It DOES NOT ACCEPT credit cards aswell.

However, if you have a non vegan friends bring they here, you all will be happy. In contrary case, come here too!

Pros: many many many many vegan options, cheap, nice ambient

Cons: unfriendly staff, does not accept cards
