Percorsi Stellati/Starred Journeys:Martín Berasategui (Lasarte-Oria,San Sebastian)

Restaurante Martín Berasategui is above all an unforgettable taste experience. Awarded 3-Michelin Stars , it perfectly epitomizes the stereotype of what a 3-Michelin Stars restaurant means: a unique cuisine, worth a special trip! ...this is exactly what I am talking about.

As we often do when we go in these food sanctuaries we opted for the most complete tasting menu, the only way to learn and (maybe) understand the idea of gastronomy of the Chef. We chose “The Great Tasting Menu” – The Best of Martin Berasategui’s cuisine that has probably the most famous creation of the Chef: 13 (13!) courses
