Rank 3. Casa Julián
Parrilla Spanish
Casa Julián is a legendary steakhouse in the Basque town of Tolosa, and it's on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list for good reason. The txuletón, a thick bone-in ribeye grilled over oak coals, is the whole point, and the kitchen's philosophy is essentially: great meat, salt, fire, done. The room is plain, the wine list is short, and the regulars look like they've never once considered ordering anything else.

Bilbao's serious answer to the question of what Basque grilling looks like when it grows up. Amaren is an upscale steakhouse built around dry-aged Iberian oxen and an open fire that the kitchen clearly respects rather than performs with. The room is warm and polished, and the crowd dresses to match. It landed on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, so yes, you're here for the beef.
