The 'Modern Gilda' (Gildo)
€2.00
A refined version of the classic skewer with balsamic reduction and premium oils.
Tip: An absolute mandatory order. The flavor is far more complex than the standard Gildas you'll find elsewhere on the street. The balsamic adds a great subtle sweetness.

Tuna Tartare on Black Sesame Crisp
€2.50
Fresh Bluefin tuna seasoned with soy and ginger on a technical sesame cracker.
Tip: The sesame crisp provides a great local crunch. It's the most refined pintxo on the menu. Order it immediately as they often sell out early in the night.

Goat Cheese with Guava and Honey
€2.20
Creamy local goat cheese balanced with the sweetness of tropical guava.
Tip: The guava is a brilliant addition. It's a great palette cleanser between the more savory meat pintxos. The quality of the honey is clearly high-tier.

Foie Gras with Caramelized Apple
€3.00
Seared duck liver paired with a silky apple reduction and port wine drizzle.
Tip: An absolute mandatory order for cheese and meat enthusiasts. The apple adds a great acidity that cuts through the richness of the foie. It's shockingly good for the price.

Duck Confit with Red Currant
€2.50
Tender shredded duck confit with a sharp berry reduction on walnut bread.
Tip: The duck is remarkably tender. The berry reduction really lifts the flavor. It's one of the few places on Blai that uses real walnut bread, which makes a massive difference.
