Located in the upper part of Bilbao, Begoña’s batzoki offers us a simple and pleasant place to enjoy good dishes.
The batzokis, a meeting place for supporters of the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV), are politicized establishments, like the town houses of the PSOE, the Herriko Tabernas of Bildu and a long list of which TurismoVasco.com normally stays away. But, leaving politics aside and focusing on gastronomy, this place deserved an exception.
Information of interest of the Batzoki de Begoña:
- Monday to Thursday: 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
- Friday and Saturday Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.

Far from the current trends, glamorous establishments, luxury locations and renowned chefs, the Begoña batzoki awaits us in the Bilbao neighborhood of Txurdinaga, 5 minutes from the Santutxu subway exit, next to the future line 3 of the Bilbao subway and near the Basilica of Begoña.
