I just read a post from a fellow blogger here and decided to post this too. Below is a list of the top 50 Restaurants according to this site. El Bulli continues to be number 1 (4 years in a row) and Fat Duck 2nd place.
I have only been able to dine in 2 restaurants on this whole list: El Bulli and Celler de Can Roca(I've been to some others but they were branches of the original ones mentioned (Robuchon and Nobu). This year I plan to hit at least 4 more from the list (Fat Duck,Mugaritz, Arzak and Etxebarri)...wish me luck (and money) so I can achieve this....

Three Spanish restaurants in the top ten? That's quite impressive! Spain is turning out to be quite the heavy-hitter in the food world. I hope I have the budget to try at least one of them when I visit Spain in the fall...:-)
yes...and if you look atthe top 50, there are quite a few more.
Where will you be in Spain if you go?
Hi Miguel
Have been reading your blog this past year and since you have generously shared your foodie finds I wanted to share you some of mine. Sounds like you are planning a trip to San Sebastian. You'll just love it. We were there two years ago and we did get to dine at Arzak and Mugaritz. May I just recommend two tapas places for you that were excellent? La Cuchara (which was just fabulous and relatively inexpensive)- Huge pieces of foie cooked with green apple- 3.50 Euro! and Veal Cheeks that melt in your mouth! Same price! and Alona Berri (not in the old town but worth the trip by itself and a local foodie favorite. Fancy Tapas- there was this crab stuffed pimiento that I am still trying to replicate- They were without a doubt the two best ones! There was a panaderia y pasterleria that we also loved- Barrenetxe- Yum!
If you are near Barcelona I would really recommend Can Fabes, We loved it too. Enjoy!
Thanks Alicia for reading my blog. Yes i do planto g to San Sebastian soon...hopefully this year.
Thanks for your suggestions and I will definitely try them when I go.
In Barcelona yes Can Fabes is in my list to go some day - I'm there often so I can easily plan that one of this days.
Thanks
I'm thinking of going to Barcelona, Madrid and Denia (where Matt's mom was based for a long time). Already checked the net for some inexpensive lodging in Barcelona and found some cute boutique hotels in Eixample. Anyway, I know you lived there for quite a while so do let me know what the good places are, cheap hotels, places to avoid, etc.:-)
Cool...I'll email you. I was just in madrid and went to some good tapas places....
As for Barcelona, I can give ytou all the info you need.
what I was looking for, thanks
