A RESTAURANT in Spain has been named 'best in the world' in a TripAdvisor poll, and the top 25 has a total of three eateries in the country.
The eponymous Restaurante Martín Berasategui (first picture), in Lasarte – just a few miles south of San Sebastián in the Basque Country – is described in the most recent comment as 'the best combinations of flavours ever experienced' in a meal which was 'culinary poetry'.
The service is also considered to be outstanding, and praise has been heaped on the three-Michelin-starred restaurant by visitors from Canada, Jordan, Puerto Rico, Germany and the UK, among others.
At number 11 out of the world's top 25 is El Celler de Can Roca in Girona (second picture), which has also been voted 'best in Spain' on previous occasions and even 'best in the world' once.
Comments refer to it as 'outstanding', 'brilliant', 'sublime', 'perfect', and 'insanely good' – and despite its Michelin stars, customers were surprised at how comparatively cheap the wine was.
One reviewer booked online from Hawaii and said it was completely worth the journey, and another from Hong Kong said his Michelin-starred restaurant experiences usually leave him 'disappointed and still hungry afterwards', but that El Celler de Can Roca 'deserves to be named the best in the world'.
