More deliciousness from the @restaurantpine team, but this time they popped up for just one night at @theseathesea_chefstable in Hackney. A lovely collaboration with Cal and Ian working their Pine magic alongside dishes from The Sea The Sea team. It was a fun evening and lovely to share it with the Pine front of house team Sián and Vanessa on a well deserved evening off. It was also great to finally put a face to the name Marina O’Loughlin, formerly restaurant critic for The Times, whom I originally tipped off about this Northern treasure of a restaurant. It felt very much like things had gone full circle.

Day 3 of our Best of Spain tour took us on a lunchtime flight from Madrid to San Sebastián. Of course we landed in plenty of time to check-in and enjoy some pintxos and a few drinks before one of the most highly anticipated meals of the tour, dinner at the legendary @ibai.donostia . Not just dinner but an exclusive opening just for us. What a privilege. This restaurant has a lot of history and having been closed for a long time there is certainly some buzz surrounding it’s reopening. Not all of it positive. To the naysayers who look online and scoff from behind their keyboards I would say please go and try for yourself. @paulo_airaudo has done an incredible job of taking on this project and keeping its traditions intact while also giving it a little spit and polish. A quote from one of my guests who is far more well dined than I will ever be:
“lbai: Italian chef, Argentinian owner, out of this world expectations, what could go wrong? Nothing. It was spectacular, nearly perfect. Highlights for me were the tuna crudo aperitivo, lobster escabeche, grilled asparagus (dinosaur sized), sole and many others. Did not disappoint and a must stop in San Sebastián.”
We will be heading back there next year around this time for my best of Spain tour 2025 so please reach out if you’d like to grab one of the seats before they all go!
What an incredible week. The Achefabroad best of Spain tour was a huge success and I honestly think that the lineup was unbeatable. 8 days, 12 amazing restaurants and 11 even more amazing gastronauts. Time to catch up properly with the posts so you can see exactly why you should be heading to all these world class restaurants. Please click the link in my bio to see what other fantastic tours we have coming up (Scandinavia, Thailand & Spain) DM me for more info.

Sunday lunch at the excellent @freemasonsatwiswell
This delightful pub is tucked down a narrow lane in a lovely Ribble Valley village. Downstairs it’s all flagged floors, low beams and open fires, while the antique-furnished upstairs is a little more elegant. Chef-Owner Steven Smith has his own distinct style, often blending numerous flavours, textures and cuisines in one dish. Highly recommended

Dinner at the excellent @vuedemonde , on the 55th floor of Melbourne’s iconic Rialto building. Vue de monde has been synonymous with Melbourne dining for over 20 years, continuing to present beautiful food that not only appeals to a sense of luxury but also honesty, integrity and an inherent natural flavour.
With a score of 19/20 in the Australian Good Food Guide awards this restaurant is very much the equivalent of a European three Michelin star place at the very top of their game. As far as I know, 20/20 has never been achieved by a restaurant over their so 19 is about as good as you’ll get. Excellent cooking from chef @hughsallen Hugh Allen who I first encountered at Noma´s Mexico popup quite a few years ago. I was terrorised as a little welcome by the restaurant when they demanded that I sabre a bottle of bubbles open in front of everyone. Not my finest hour 🤦🏻😬 Highly recommended
