Txirene
Basque
The name is Bilbao slang for a joker, which tells you something about the locals who fill the pintxos bar out front. Push past that and there's a calm, contemporary dining room behind it, serving traditional Basque cooking that follows the season with some seriousness. The kitchen sources everything from within the city, so the menu shifts as the year does, built around fish, rice, and meat done without much fuss.
