Dinner and a couple of glasses of wine 🙄 at ⭐️ @behindrestaurant in London. Well known for having received a Michelin star after just 20 opening days (a Covid anomaly I think), I can say that this 18 seat seafood focused counter is certainly worthy of that accolade.

- Neil A. Chef added a new meal Dinner at Asador Etxebarri at Etxebarri
Day 5 of our best of Spain tour took us to one of my favourite restaurants on the planet, @asadoretxebarrioficial . This short review from one of my guests sums it up nicely:
“flawless. No other words. Best meal of the trip. Wine list to die for (think Sine Qua Non Distenta 1 among many greats - merci @mo_sommelier Mohamed).... More
Day 5 of our best of Spain tour took us to one of my favourite restaurants on the planet, @asadoretxebarrioficial . This short review from one of my guests sums it up nicely:
“flawless. No other words. Best meal of the trip. Wine list to die for (think Sine Qua Non Distenta 1 among many greats - merci @mo_sommelier Mohamed). Just go!”
This was also a nicely timed visit (I don’t just throw these tours together😉), as we went for lunch on a Sunday but got there a couple of hours early to enjoy the pintxos they do in the bar downstairs every Sunday for the church goers (and us 😇). My tip would be to get there just before 11.30 when the church service finishes and it starts to get very busy. So we enjoyed a delicious pre lunch in the courtyard outside to warm up nicely for the main event.
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.
We will be heading back to Etxebarri 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!

Another visit to ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Azurmendi, a short drive from Bilbao. I love this restaurant and @azurmendi_atxa Aneko is just the loveliest guy. He really makes you feel like you are eating in his home rather than a three star restaurant. Another must visit for me when I’m in the area.

A must visit when in the area.

One of the reasons that I picked May as the month to do this tour was that as well as the delicious guisantes being in season, this is one of the best times of year to enjoy Elkano’s turbot. As expected, this was one of the highlights of the tour with the turbot being masterfully dissected at the table. And who knew that you can tell a turbot’s age by using an iPhone torch and a water glass ?🤯 (see video).

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.”
