Today there are 228 restaurants with a Michelin star in Spain (11 with the maximum of three stars), while in 2013 there were just 148 (seven getting the maximum rating). Talk about tables turning in just six years, it will have Les Frogsaleisse choking in their boeuf bourguignon.Īnd it’s not just this global list to note the remarkable changes, with other prestigious titles, such as Restaurant Magazine’s World’s 50 Best list, which has three Spanish joints in the Top 10 as it has for the last decade.īut take the famous French food bible, the Michelin guide. It is serious stuff and it is not hard to see how well Spain has progressed since the list first came out in 2017.īack then, while Catalan Joan Roca was top, Spain had just seven chefs in the list, while France had 23 and Italy 17 entries.
