The story
Ola Martín Berasategui is a destination for lovers of haute cuisine, located in the heart of Bilbao's Casco Viejo. Under the gastronomic direction of Martín Berasategui – the Spanish chef with the most Michelin stars in the world – and executive chef Raúl Cabrera, the restaurant holds one Michelin star and one Repsol sun. The space is elegant and welcoming, designed to create an intimate atmosphere that complements the dining experience.
Berasategui’s vision is built on excellence, creativity, and a deep respect for the product. Here, Basque tradition engages with avant-garde techniques, resulting in a modern cuisine that is both refined and emotional. The kitchen works with the freshest market ingredients, letting nature dictate the composition of each dish.
Ola offers a selection of degustation menus that showcase some of the most iconic dishes from the Berasategui universe. The "Lo mejor de la cocina de Martin Berasategui" menu (170€) features signatures like the liquid tortilla with ham and truffle, thin slices of cod with kokotxas and spider crab in Biscayan style, and a caramelized mille-feuille of smoked eel and foie gras. The "Menú degustación Ola" (140€) is another curated journey through the chef’s repertoire. For a lighter option, the "Menú Ejecutivo" (85€) is available Wednesday to Friday lunch.
Each meal is served at a leisurely pace, allowing guests to fully appreciate the textures and flavors. The service is attentive, and the atmosphere is one of relaxed sophistication.
The restaurant is located on Calle Ribera, in the historic quarter of Bilbao, a stone's throw from the city's most vibrant streets. The interior is designed to be both elegant and cozy, with careful attention to detail ensuring that every aspect of the evening contributes to the experience. Ola Martín Berasategui is a testament to the art of modern cuisine, where tradition and innovation meet in perfect harmony.
