Our next stop on the tour was an exclusive buyout of @ibai.donostia Ibai, a renowned restaurant in San Sebastián, celebrated for its dedication to high-quality Basque cuisine. Originally established in 1982 by chef Alicio Garro, Ibai gained acclaim for its exceptional seafood dishes and commitment to sourcing the freshest local ingredients.
In 2021, Ibai closed its doors, marking the end of an era for many culinary enthusiasts. However, in 2024, the restaurant experienced a revival under the guidance of chef @paulo_airaudo ,who sought to honor the legacy of the original establishment while infusing it with contemporary touches. The rejuvenated Ibai retains its emphasis on top-tier ingredients and traditional Basque recipes.
Beginning upstairs in the bar areas we began with some incredible tuna and a tortilla to rival the best. We then headed downstairs for an incredible meal cooked by chef @nico_baron89 Nicola Barón who really took excellent care of us. Another highlight of the tour

The next stop on the tour was @txispa_restaurant and I am so happy to say that we will be returning here twice over the next year as part of a weekend break in October and my Spain tour next May (link in bio). Nestled in the serene village of Axpe, Txispa is a culinary gem that seamlessly blends Japanese finesse with Basque tradition. Under the guidance of Chef Tetsuro Maeda, a protégé of the renowned Asador Etxebarri (our next stop), Txispa offers a unique dining experience where local ingredients meet time-honored Japanese techniques. The restaurant’s commitment to excellence has been recognised with a Michelin star and a long line of world travelling foodies that hope for a reservation here. We spent a perfect afternoon here with @tetsuro_tetxubarri Tetsuro’s cooking and hospitality really being a highlight of the tour.

Our next stop on my Spain tour last month was to Etxebarri, and what a privilege it was. In my view, no restaurant is more deserving of the No.1 spot at next week’s World’s 50 Best Awards in Turin. All signs point to Bittor Arginzoniz finally taking his place at the top.
From his grill in the foothills of the Atxondo valley, Bittor has influenced chefs across the globe with his singular fire-driven philosophy — a quiet but seismic force in modern gastronomy.
And then there’s Mohamed, the sommelier whose warm welcome and deep knowledge made this pilgrimage even more unforgettable. I can’t wait to return in October for my Basque weekender.

Our next stop on my best of Spain tour was to Barcelona and we kicked off our 4 day Barcelona leg with another of my favourite restaurants, and now a regular stop on my Spain tours, @hermanostorres Cocina Hermanos Torres. A symphony of precision, creativity, and brotherly brilliance, Hermanos Torres was one of the standout moments on our Best of Spain tour—an immersive dining experience that surrounds you with the energy of the kitchen itself. With each dish, Sergio and Javier blur the line between art and science, delivering bold, thoughtful flavours that reflect their Catalan roots with a modern soul.
From the moment you step into their stunning three-kitchen concept, it’s clear: this is not just a meal. It’s a performance.

Our next stop on my tour, and a restaurant that will of course feature again on next year’s best of Spain tour was to @theworlds50best number 1 (2024), Disfrutar.
The name says it all — “to enjoy.” And enjoy we did. From the moment you step inside, @disfrutarbcn Disfrutar flips every expectation on its head: playful, provocative, and precise to the millimetre.
Behind it all? Three El Bulli alumni who have created one of the most incredible dining experiences on the planet. I have lost count of the number of times that I’ve visited Disfrutar, but each time I go they somehow manage to still surprise and delight me. I feel very lucky to be able to share this restaurant with my tour guests. Truly a highlight of the tour, and a must visit restaurant for any serious dining enthusiast
