A RESTAURANT in Spain has been named the best in the world according to a poll on TripAdvisor, the leading global platform for tourism reviews and information.
Martín Berasategui's eponymous eatery in Lasarte, near San Sebastián in the Basque Country, has been described as offering 'the best combination of flavours' tourists have ever tasted.
“The meal was culinary poetry,” the top-quoted TripAdvisor commenter said.
Another revealed he had made a special trip from Belgium with his wife purely to eat there, for her birthday, and described the chef as 'a culinary artist at work providing global-style exclusive food', which was 'the best they had ever experienced'.
'Amazing', 'perfection', 'extraordinary', 'awesome' and 'out of this world' are other adjectives diners from all over the world have used to describe Martín Berasategui's restaurant, where users all concurred that the service was excellent and that they were made to feel like celebrities.
One said he and his wife were given a 'special gift' as it was their 18th wedding anniversary 'made so much more enjoyable' by their time at the restaurant.
Of course, as the top eatery in the world, it involves a little bit of saving up before diners can treat themselves, but you get what you pay for, as customers have made clear - “It's worth double the price,” said one reviewer of his 'unique and memorable dining experience' which was 'presented in the most artistic way possible' using 'the finest local ingredients', and which 'lightens the soul as well as the wallet'.
