Description
Mugaritz is located in the dividing line of two Basque towns, Errenteria and Astigarraga. It is a tribute to the border (Muga, in Basque) and the oak (haritza) that for 200 years has watched this boundary, surrounded by nature.
Chance brought Mugaritz to where it is currently located, but, over time, the border has defined our identity. Today, we feel comfortable in the boundaries, in those borders between the art and gastronomy, between the culinary world and science.
The MICHELIN Guide's opinion.
**Two stars: exceptional cuisine.
Mugaritz is much more than a restaurant, offering food enthusiasts a very different dining experience. Here, absolutely everything is questioned, hence the focus on both individual and general tastes to the extent that, in the words of the chef, “the experience here is as much playful as it is gastronomic”. The intentions of Andoni Luis Aduriz, who likes nothing more than breaking the rules, can be seen in a small glossary placed on your table, detailing terms defined by the chef, his staff and even his customers in a cooperative endeavour to add meaning to the dining experience. Dishes do not follow a classic order and constantly aim to transcend borders, both in terms of flavor and the flow of the single tasting menu. One particularly outstanding dish is called “De frente: la piel que habito (“Front on: the skin I inhabit”) – a conceptual creation in which a false skin of cider gelatine is added to a face, accompanied by pieces of fried bread with with pepper emulsion.
