Sorry about the long Michelin star dining post:). !! It's just a question that I get very often, sometimes here and lots on the Hungry Onion Spain/Portugal/Italy forum : "Maribel, of all the Michelin stars in San Sebastián, which is the best? The ones in San Sebastián and Bilbao have priced themselves out of our league these days. |
My emphasis was "priced out of our own personal league, as it our own dailydining budget, but not everyone's, of course.
Compared to the 3-Michelin starred San Sebastián restaurants and those in Barcelona, the €160 and €130 tasting menus at Mina are still a relatively bargain for those with an ample dining budget or who just wish to splurge for a special occasion. In the countryside at the 2 one-Michelin starred restaurants where my husband, mikelg and I had lovely lunches: at Boroa, the Txindoki tasting menu is priced at a reasonable (for a Michelin-starred Basque Country restaurant) 90 euros and at Andra Mari the menu is priced at 95 or one can dine a la carte. |

But sadly true, budgets of locals are not for most Michelin restaurants now... |
Wow, mikelg,
Next time, La Revelía! It looks wonderful! |
About Bilbao and its wonderful walkability--
An article on May 9 in the Economist listed the "world's most walkable cities" and 4 Spanish cities made the top 10 on this list: Granollers (Catalunya), Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country) and León (Asturias)---I can personally attest to the last three. I don't subscribe to The Economist, so can't leave here a link. |
