Happy River is a charming little spot by the river near Bilbao’s market. The place is nicely decorated, the staff are cheerful, and the menu mixes local and Asian flavors with a great vegan selection. They offer plenty of food and drink options. We tried sushi, salad, and gyozas, the sushi was excellent, the rest was decent. Overall, a pleasant experience.
