SOIZ BI | Nepalese restaurant in Bilbao

The heart of Nepal beats in the Old Town: Flavors of the Himalayas, soul of Bilbao.

This bar in the heart of **Bilbao's Old Town** (Casco Viejo), located exactly at Calle Esperanza 20, is a true gem where **Basque tradition and Himalayan exoticism** go hand in hand. Leading the kitchen is **Tula, a Nepalese chef** whose career and professionalism are evident in every dish. His mastery of culinary techniques allows him to fuse **local ingredients** with the essence of his homeland, achieving a perfect balance that only someone with years of experience and a deep respect for the craft can reach.

The **gastronomic proposal** stands out for its undeniable freshness; every product is meticulously selected to ensure that the mussels, scallops, and teriyaki chicken maintain their texture and **original flavor**. However, the true hallmark of identity is the **master touch with spices**. The handmade momos and the rest of the menu are elevated to another level thanks to a house-made Nepalese curry and a **spicy sauce** made from akabare, a unique chili that provides a deep, aromatic heat, transporting the diner directly to the mountains of Nepal.

Stepping into this place is not just about eating, but enjoying genuine hospitality. The friendly and warm approach of the team makes every customer feel at home from the very first moment. The service is relaxed yet efficient, reflecting a **service philosophy** where the diner's well-being is the absolute priority.

From the Cantabrian Sea to Everest: Scallops, Momos, and the authentic touch of Akabare.
