Located in the heart of Bilbao’s historic Plaza Nueva, Víctor Montes is a long-standing culinary landmark that has been serving guests since 1849. Housed in a former market space, the restaurant is celebrated for its elegant, traditional atmosphere and its intricately painted facade, offering a quintessential Basque dining experience. It is widely recognized as a benchmark for local gastronomy, blending deep-rooted culinary traditions with contemporary techniques.

The menu at Víctor Montes focuses on high-quality local ingredients, featuring a wide variety of gourmet pintxos at the bar and a selection of iconic Basque dishes in the dining room. Highlights include traditional meats, fresh fish, and classic recipes that pay tribute to the region's rich culinary heritage. While the restaurant offers a range of options for various dietary preferences, including vegetarian-friendly choices, those with celiac disease or strict gluten requirements should exercise caution and communicate clearly with the staff, as the establishment is not exclusively gluten-free and cross-contamination risks are present in their shared kitchen environment.
