Location

Location :

Located in Mount Artxanda, one of the most traditional and beautiful areas of Bilbao, our restaurant enjoys a privileged location and excellent views of the city. This, together with its solid construction in the taste of our traditional country houses, makes it a relaxing, pleasant environment for after-dinner conversation, for both business events as well as family celebrations.

History :

Although its opening date as a restaurant is not accurately known, it was in 1897 that a small refuge for shepherds and mountaineers was built in Mount Artxanda. Over time, this refuge was transformed into one of the most renowned and prestigious restaurants in Bilbao.

The definite moment for its consolidation as a restaurant was brought about by the construction of the former Bilbao Casino, in the 20's, when it became the meeting place for the society of Bilbao, which considered El Txakolí the privileged place to meet.

Towards the end of the Civil War, a bombing destroyed part of the structure and the former Casino. The subsequent reconstruction and extension work gave rise to the present-day structure. El Txakolí has managed to overcome adverse circumstances and to improve through the days, by keeping up with the times.


Our Philosophy :

In our view, quality comes first. For that reason, El Txakolí is a must for the most demanding palates, as it selects the freshest fish and the juiciest meats of the region. Today more than ever, concern about the quality of the products we enjoy is obvious in the level of knowledge and request from our clients. For this reason, our obsession is to find the finest products in the market, so they can be brought to your table in just the way you deserve.


Our Premises :

We have three rooms varying in seating capacity which allows us to adjust to your needs. Thus, we can hold from the best-attended banquet to the most intimate dinner, from the celebration of weddings, christenings and communions, to conventions, congresses, and business luncheons.
