Café Iruña
1903 – A Century of “Great Taste”
Located across from the popular Jardines de Albia, Café Iruña was inaugurated on July 7, 1903, by the renowned Navarrese entrepreneur D. Severo Unzué Donamaría.
What stands out the most is the original layout of its 300 square meters, divided into different spaces where the quality of its tiles and the unique Mudejar-inspired décor shine. The café boasts polychrome ceilings and an extensive collection of mural paintings, which have been recently restored.
A Symbol of Bilbao
Thanks to its privileged location, the spaciousness of its halls, the high-quality hospitality services (as described by Severo Unzué himself), and above all, its continuous dedication to promoting Bilbao’s social, cultural, and festive life, Café Iruña has become a must-visit spot for both locals and visitors.
Open All Year Round
Café Iruña is open every day of the year, offering breakfast, a daily set menu, and à la carte dinners.
It also features a wide variety of pintxos, including the popular “serranito”—a sandwich with Iberian bacon and grilled ham strips—and the famous “pinchos morunos”, prepared in the traditional way.
A Cultural Heritage of Bilbao
Perhaps the greatest recognition of CAFÉS UNIDOS S.A., the company managing Café Iruña, is the fact that every Bilbao resident considers it their own, an inseparable part of the city’s cultural heritage, and a must-visit spot for their guests.
Among its official recognitions, Café Iruña was declared a “Singular Monument” in 1980 and was awarded the Special Prize for Best Café in Spain (2000) by the prestigious “Café Crème Guide to the Cafés of Europe”, published in London under the supervision of Roy Ackerman.
