Mugaritz San Sebastián
No.87 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
Andoni Luis Aduriz, the boundary-pushing chef behind Mugaritz in San Sebastián, has spent over 25 years dismantling the conventions of fine dining, landing the restaurant at No.87 on the World's 50 Best list for 2025. His culinary universe is a thrilling, often dark journey where diners are invited to question everything they know about food—expect the unexpected. Every year, Mugaritz closes its doors from January to April for a creative sabbatical, during which Aduriz and his R&D team, along with a cadre of collaborators, craft the boundaryless menus that will define the coming seasons. This is not just a meal; it's a provocation, a daring exploration of what gastronomy can be when the rules are thrown out the window.
