El mejor café de Basurto y posiblemente de Bilbao Bar de barrio sin grandes pretensiones pero que cumple con nota, trato agradable y precios acordes

A ver, que no te engañe lo de “gastro”. De alta cocina no hablamos, pero sí de un buen local para comer sin florituras. Tienes hambre, quieres comer sin adornos, sin pretensiones. Aquí hay varias opciones a base de buenas raciones. Muy recomendables los txopitos. También hay platos combinados ricos. No hay postre. El personal me pareció de 10. Muy amable y diligente. No hay cambiador para bebés, pero si tronas.
