Zintzoa

Tasty pinxtos and a lovely evening. My brief trip to Bilbao had been mostly work focused, so I didn’t do as much investigation of pinxtos options as I’d hoped. We had finally made it to El Globo though and were looking for just a small additional bite and drink.
Ended up heading to Zintzoa, grabbing some food and eating on a nearby bench as all the other room was totally filled. The pulpo de Gallegos was tasty — far better than the other versions of it I had tried elsewhere. The little bocadilla with dark olive bread was fine on the filling and amazing on the bread. Got some other random pinxtos I didn’t recognize that were solid enough.
Drinks were wine and a gin and tonic. Both tasty and reasonably large.
Overall price was nice and cheap, about 15 € for four pinxtos and drinks. The whole place was active and enjoyably busy the whole time… definitely would return.
