About Gure Toki
Gure Toki is a pintxos bar in Bilbao's Casco Viejo, sitting on Plaza Berria with a terrace overlooking the square. You stand at the counter or grab a table, pick from cold pintxos displayed on the bar, or order hot ones made fresh to your plate. The menu shifts daily — no printed list, no reservations, just walk in and see what's there. Reviewers consistently mention the duck pintxo, the crab tempura, mushroom dishes, and a cheesecake that's stopped people mid-sentence. The wine list leans hard into txakoli (the local white wine at €2 a glass, according to one review). Staff work fast when it's packed, slower when it's quiet — one solo diner praised the personalised attention on a quiet Monday. The crowd is mixed: college students, groups, tourists, locals doing txikiteo (the pintxos bar crawl). Prices sit slightly above neighbouring bars (€10–€20 range) but reviewers say the quality justifies it. One visitor tried pintxos bars across Bilbao that same night and called this the best. Another flagged the shiitake mushrooms and cod as Michelin-worthy. The atmosphere is casual and cosy, full by lunchtime, standing room at the bar by evening.
What Stands Out
Cheesecake that stops conversations
Multiple reviewers singled it out: 'it might be the best one I have had', 'hiç bu kadar taze bir cheesecake yemedim' (never had such fresh cheesecake), and 'deserves its own special mention'. One Turkish reviewer devoted an entire paragraph to it.
Pintxos that rank above the txikiteo circuit
A reviewer who did a pintxos crawl that same night wrote: 'Esa misma noche fui de tour de pintxos a varios lugares recomendados y este me pareció el mejor' (that same night I did a pintxos tour to several recommended places and this seemed the best to me). Specific dishes praised: duck pintxo, crab tempura, shiitake mushrooms, cod, grilled octopus.
Staff who move fast under pressure
Reviewers praised 'muy ilgili' (very attentive) staff who 'try to serve you promptly' even when 'really busy'. One noted they were 'cheerful' despite the rush. Solo diners got 'personalizado' (personalised) treatment on quieter days.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gure Toki
No online booking. Walk in. Arrive before 12:30 for lunch or expect a wait on weekends — it fills fast.
€10–€20 per person depending on how many pintxos you eat. Txakoli wine is around €2 a glass. One reviewer noted it's 'un poco más caro que los demás' (a bit pricier than neighbouring bars), but said the quality justifies it.
The duck pintxo, crab tempura, mushroom dishes, and grilled octopus are mentioned across multiple reviews. The cheesecake is worth ordering separately — reviewers called it the best they've had. Ask for txakoli to drink.
Both. Cold pintxos are on the counter — you stand and pick. Hot pintxos are made to order and brought to your table. There's outdoor seating on the terrace overlooking Plaza Berria.
