d’berto
D’Betro is one of these restaurants you start missing when you’re still in them.
Nestled in O Grove, Galicia, D’Berto is a Michelin-starred haven for seafood enthusiasts. Renowned for its unparalleled quality and variety, it’s among the world’s best. If not the best.
Imagine savoring plump shrimp, exotic percebes (goose barnacles), and various other delicacies, simply prepared to unlock their natural essence. While some dishes are served raw, others are grilled or steamed to perfection.
The true star is unquestionably the seafood. Prepare yourself for a luxurious, taste-bud-tingling experience celebrating Galicia’s rich maritime bounty.

ETXEBARRI
Asador Etxebarri, ranked #2 on the world’s 50 best restaurants list, is nestled deep in the Urkiola mountains of Vizcaya, surrounded by green fields and craggy peaks.
Chef Bittor Arginzoniz dominates the most primal, most basic, most ancient element: fire. He delicately applies this element to the best raw ingredients, elevating them as close as possible to their Platonic ideal.
