We’re celebrating

The team at La Olla de la Plaza Nueva is celebrating. Our restaurant has been awarded three Eguzkilores, the highest honor bestowed by the prestigious Best Pintxos & Gastro Euskadi Gastronomic Guide—an honor that only five pintxo-specialty establishments in all of Bizkaia have achieved.
This recognition not only fills us with pride, but also reaffirms our passion for signature pintxos, made with top-quality local ingredients and capturing the essence of the most authentic Basque cuisine.

Tradition, innovation, and a bar with a Bilbao soul

At La Olla de la Plaza Nueva, we believe that a good pintxo should tell a story—one that speaks of tradition, region, and craftsmanship. That’s why every recipe is rooted in respect for classic flavors, yet infused with a contemporary twist that delights the palate.
Those who visit our bar know that here they’ll find much more than just pintxos: they’ll have an experience. From the iconic cod pil-pil pintxo to our most modern creations, like the foie gras toast with apple and Pedro Ximénez, they all share the same philosophy: apparent simplicity, impeccable execution, and a flavor that leaves a lasting impression.

A top choice among Bilbao’s best pintxos bars

Being one of the few establishments in Bizkaia to hold three Eguzkilores means joining the select group of the best pintxo bars in the Basque Country. This recognition honors the daily efforts of our kitchen and front-of-house teams, as well as all the customers who choose us every day to enjoy Basque cuisine in a unique setting, right in the heart of Bilbao’s Old Town, across from the iconic Plaza Nueva.

Come celebrate with us

We want to share this joy with you. We invite you to join us and raise a toast to this achievement, which inspires us to keep growing and offering the best of our cuisine. If you’re looking for the best pintxos in Bilbao, let yourself be swept away by the essence of La Olla: flavor, tradition, and a passion that now boasts three Eguzkilores.
