Planet of the chefs

Gipuzkoa is like one big restaurant, with a floor area of nearly 2,000 square metres. Cooking is an essential part of local culture and everyday life.

And that means that every Gipuzkoan is a chef— whether they're a famous one, with three Michelin stars under their belt.... or just a regular cook, making meals at home or in one of the many gastronomic societies, with all the solemnity of a liturgical rite. Basque cuisine is a unique blend of tradition and innovation.

Michelin stars

We're not exaggerating. Within a radius of just 25 kilometres from Donostia-San Sebastian, you’ll find no fewer than 18 Michelin starred restaurants.
