Hotels are increasingly taking care of their gastronomic offer, many of them have long boasted
Michelin stars and Repsol soles,
and it is at the table where an exciting journey begins - and perhaps ends -. We tour some of the most attractive in our country.
VILLA ROSARIO

Ribadesella
(Asturias), with the sea and the mountains painting the horizon, is this hotel and its
Ayalga restaurant,
one of the dining rooms of businessman and sommelier Marcos Granda, who has had a restaurant since 2021. Michelin star. In charge of the kitchen is Israel Moreno and, in the dining room, José Manuel Miranda; on the table, a proposal with a lot of local products. It offers

NOBU SAN SEBASTIÁN
It is the fifth hotel - also
dog-friendly
- of the chain in our country, after Barcelona, Marbella, Ibiza and Seville. The
Vista Eder Palace
houses this establishment, which offers views of La Concha Bay that
feed the soul
. There is no shortage of the famous restaurant of the same name, run by French chef Yannick Lohou and Japanese chef
Hideaki Mizushima
, both with more than 10 years of experience in the group. Being in the city with the most
Michelin stars
per square meter forced us to design a proposal to match. For this
Valentine's Day
they have prepared an omakase menu that includes scallop tataki and yellow chili caviar with shisho oil and an assortment of the best sushi. More info: sansebastian.nobuhotels.com

Mallorcan cuisine as the protagonist

HOTEL ARTS
It is the only 5-star
urban resort
in Barcelona and it offers one of the most incredible gastronomic experiences in the city. From the hand of Paco Pérez and his restaurant Enoteca (
two Michelin stars and two Repsol suns
), the proposal on the table is presented with a careful selection of ingredients from the nearest sea, garden and mountain and are always treated with the utmost respect. Each season they prepare a tasting menu that reflects the
delicacy of the chef,
who also masterfully works with the world of rice, which is enjoyed in the space every Sunday. On the occasion of his 15th birthday, the chef has created a menu with dishes as suggestive as his pumpkin and orange tartlet and his pisco sour; the
seaweed and mussel pickle
; winter sole, amontillado, mushrooms, pistachio and matured pigeon.

area such as millet, cactus pear and other native plant species; the Mogán shrimp; seasonal fish; Tejeda olive charcoal and
self-produced cheeses
