New Mónaco

New Mónaco is a landmark in Bilbao’s central Plaza de Moyúa. It is known for its award-winning coffees and its popular daily menu with traditional and healthy options. An ideal place for a quick breakfast, a pintxo, or a quality meal.

Koke Quintana and Richard Rojas are experts in their field. The small dining room on the mezzanine floor of New Mónaco, as well as its terrace, is always full of loyal customers with satisfied expressions on their faces.

It may have something to do with the fact that the restaurant is located next to the central and much-photographed Plaza Moyua, at the geometric midpoint of Bilbao’s Gran Vía.

Perhaps it’s because they serve up lovingly prepared cups of coffee that have won several competitions.

And, believe me, it’s not easy to win recognition for having the best coffee in a city that takes pride in the quality of its coffee.

As if that weren’t enough, you can enjoy them with all kinds of delicious snacks, everything from pastries to savoury pintxos. Last but not least, their daily menu offers several options to choose from, ranging from traditional recipes to the ever-popular healthy and light cuisine.

What’s more, you don’t have to order the full daily menu: the option of choosing a single dish is gaining popularity every day. In short, Koke and Richard, who run the charming New Mónaco bar, definitely know their stuff.
