First of all, we want to talk about the Akelarre Restaurant which, as indicated on the website, is Pedro Subijana and a great human, professional and efficient team. Located in San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, this gastronomic temple offers more taste and visual surprises every year with the best products.

The Celler de Can Roca
We left the Basque Country to move to Catalonia, where the Celler de Can Roca is located, which this year has once again been designated the Best Restaurant in the World according to the Diners Club World’s 50 Best. As you may already know, this is the project of Jordi, Josep and Joan, three brothers who have a passion for cooking. According to the Michelin Guide inspectors, these brothers “take the culinary experience to exceptional levels”.
Quique Dacosta Restaurant
Located in Denia, Alicante, the Quique Dacosta Restaurant is located in a Mediterranean village, although it has an avant – garde glass pavilion. Its chef offers two tasting menus that demonstrate his imaginative extravagance. One of them is dedicated to the already established dishes and another to its latest proposals.

For its part, the DiverXo Restaurant is located in Madrid and is run by the creative and obsessive chef David Muñoz , who offers cosmopolitan, novel and fun dishes, as well as quite revolutionary room service and wines.
Sant Pau Restaurant
Finally, we have to talk about the Sant Pau Restaurant, which is located in Sant Pol de Mar, Barcelona. As indicated by the inspectors of the Michelin Guide, it is an excellent restaurant with two elegant rooms, highlighting the exterior, since it offers wonderful views. As for the culinary experience, which comes from the hand of Carme Ruscalleda , it is creative and delicate, although with deep local roots.
