Our first 3 Michelin star experience and we are glad we started here! Food was refined but so complex and totally delicious. We were in a food coma by the end. The lasting memory however was the service. From beginning to end, service was second to none. I called up on Saturday afternoon to try and book for Sunday which... More

We really enjoyed our evening. The tasting menu was exquisite and well worth having. The staff were very professional and we were not rushed. All the dishes were first class and I think value for money. I had seafood allergies and they were very quick to make some minor changes to help me. We visited the kitchen and to see... More

We went for lunch at this restaurant. We opted for the "great tasting menu" of 12 courses. The restaurant is very plain, but elegant. Staff was very attentive and explain every dish as well as origin of each wine we had. The dishes are complex, beautifully presented and really tasty. Some combinations were rather surprising but tasty, and if you... More

We organized a long weekend in the basque country around a reyervation to try Martin Berasategui. As we were coming all the way from Hamburg we went for the grand testing menu. We were not disappointed in the least. From the moment that you set the foot in the place you are surrounded by a fantastic athmosphere, a very professional... More

Our table was next to the wall and not in the main room with the view so it started off badly. If the Michelin man was sat on our table I can't see how the atmosphere would have allowed for a 3 star. We ordered the tasting menu which is €185 and 12 courses. A lot of the dishes were... More

We had an absolutely amazing meal here. Each of the 12 courses in the tasting menu was outstanding, with us being allowed to substitute in some of the other courses from the a la carte menu. Service was hugely professional but never snooty. We even got an impromptu tour of their kitchen and met the main man himself.

We first went to MB's during our honeymoon. We went back 5 years later and the place, the food, the service... the whole experience was amazing. The flavors were so well pronounced and MB made the simple sublime which is very hard to do. Bravo Martin!

Wow! Every dish was unbelievable I wish the portions were larger but really good food always leaves you wanting more. The wines were mostly all new to me and we really enjoyed the service.
