Etxanobe Atelier: A Gastronomic Destination in Bilbao

Etxanobe Atelier is the fine dining arm of the Etxanobe group, located on Juan de Ajuriaguerra in the heart of Bilbao. The restaurant describes itself as "el restaurante gastronómico" – a place where chef Fernando Canales leads a kitchen focused on refined Spanish cuisine. The team's philosophy is captured in a video that reflects their values and approach to cooking.

A Chef with a Story

News from the restaurant's website shows chef Fernando Canales participating in charitable events such as La Rioja Chefs & Golf, underscoring his connection to the local culinary community. The Atelier represents the most ambitious expression of his cooking, earning a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026.

The Etxanobe Universe

The same group also runs La Despensa, a more casual venue offering "alta cocina desenfadada" (relaxed high cuisine), and Etxanobe en Casa, a private chef service. But for those seeking the full gastronomic experience, the Atelier is the place.
