The Balearic Island’s favorite restaurant is on Ibiza

The chosen restaurant in this ranking was Etxeko by Martín Berasategui, with one Michelin star, in 37th place. “Located in the Bless Hotel Ibiza, it is a melting pot of creativity and haute cuisine where, in addition to the exceptional quality of the product, passion, joy and enthusiasm are prevailing values. In charge of its stoves is the prestigious chef Martín Berasategui, who holds a total of twelve Michelin stars, and who has concentrated the flavors of the old city of San Sebastián, La Bretxa market and of his childhood in a purely hedonistic gastronomic proposal”, highlights TheFork in a statement. The executive chef of the Ibizan restaurant is Paco Budia.

The Balearic Islands host six establishments with great references such as Etxeko by Martin Berasategui (37) on Ibiza, Es Fum (58) and DINS Santi Taura (60) in Mallorca.

Casa Marcial

At the national level, the Asturian restaurant Casa Marcial leads the ranking, from chefs Esther and Nacho Manzano, which has two Michelin stars and 3 Repsol suns. “Casa Marcial has become a benchmark for Asturian gastronomy and one of the most prestigious restaurants at the national level, staying true to its roots with a renewed traditional cuisine”, TheFork highlights.

“Their premise is to delve into the gastronomic legacy, roots, seasonality and integrity of the product to evolve and develop a type of gastronomy that reinvents itself every year to satisfy the palates of its most loyal customers,” says a note on the online booking platform, the Manzano brothers’ work philosophy, based on the values instilled by their parents, such as hospitality, service, respect for nature and the satisfaction of converting customers into friends, has elevated them to the top of Spanish gastronomy”.

In the words of chef Nacho Manzano, “this recognition has special meaning for us because it is based on the opinions of our diners, who are the most important thing for us,” TheFork reports.
