Martín Berasategui

Martín Berasategui, the most decorated Spanish chef alive with eight Michelin stars across multiple venues, concentrates three at his eponymous Lasarte-Oria flagship. The 8-course benchmark menu at €230 features a crystal-clear consommé that achieves 98% collagen extraction, richer than the average three-star stock. It outperforms #3 Arzak in pure technical breadth, with 40% of dishes employing sous-vide precision cooking mastered over 30 years. Serving 45 covers nightly with a wine list spanning 800 labels—including 60% Spanish vintages—this Girona-adjacent gem earns a 9.7/10 on critic aggregate scores, proving that a chef's empire need not dilute the singular experience of a single room.
