Nerua
The Guggenheim’s modernist, chic restaurant, Nerua, is under the direction of super chef Josean Martínez Alija. Needless to say, the nueva cocina vasca (Basque nouvelle cuisine) is breathtaking – even the olives are vintage classics: all come from 1000-year-old olive trees! Reservations are essential. If the gourmet restaurant is too extravagant for you try El Goog’s bistro which has set menus from €18.
