In fourth place, a classic despite its youth among the awards: Dabiz Muñoz (DiverXO, Madrid), a chef who enjoys pushing gastronomic boundaries. In 2025, he will move his restaurant to the outskirts of Madrid, in a change that promises to be revolutionary. In his extremely elaborated dishes he introduces high-quality products such as caviar from Riofrío (Granada, Andalusia), tender peas from various parts of Spain, roast suckling pig, trout from the Pyrenees, or prawns from Galicia.
There were more Spanish names among the top 50. Quique Dacosta (Denia, Valencian Community), the restaurant of the chef of the same name, landed in 14th place. Innovation and love for Valencian cuisine mark his work, which spans more than three decades.
In 28th place appears another grill, Elkano (Getaria, Basque Country), where fish is masterfully prepared, with special attention to turbot. Aitor Arregi has successfully continued the work of his father Pedro in a high-level family saga.
