Déjà Vu? Not entirely new 1 Star Michelin Restaurants: Gaig, L’Angle and Zaranda were already present on last years list, although due to a change of location their 1 Michelin Star was taken away, but, for the Michelin Guide – Spain 2014, has been returned.
Unfortunately, it’s not all good news:
A surprise, which seems to be repeating every year, was that, Mugaritz, a great 2 starred Basque restaurant did not receive a well deserved 3rd Michelin star.
Barcelona city, yet again, fails to receive that 3rd star, to be able to boast about a TriStar restaurant. However, the city does maintain its fabulous four Michelin 2 star restaurants: ABaC (Jordi Cruz), Enoteca (Paco Pérez), Lasarte (Martín Berasategui) and Moments (Raül Balam), and numerous Michelin 1 star restaurants.
Congratulations to our wonderful Spanish Michelin Star Chefs!
