As every year, our team of MICHELIN Inspectors has traveled the length and breadth of Spain, including the islands, in search of the country's best restaurants. The conclusion? Above and beyond operating at its usual high standards, the Spanish culinary scene is enjoying one of its finest moments – on the one hand, restaurants are seeing their Stars reconfirmed and consolidated and, on the other hand, newcomers to the Star league are making waves.
In summary, The MICHELIN Guide Spain & Andorra 2026 includes 16 Three-Star restaurants, 37 with Two Stars (five of these being new entries to the category) and 254 with One Star (25 of which are new to this ranking) – that's 307 Star establishments altogether. Explore the full list of the country's MICHELIN Stars, or read on to discover some of the highlights among these remarkable temples of gastronomy below.
At the Pinnacle of Culinary Excellence
This year, the 16 Spanish restaurants with Three MICHELIN Stars, the highest accolade in gastronomy worldwide, have renewed their claim to top status. From those that have long been in the culinary firmament – such as Arzak and Akelaŕe – to the most recent additions, including Casa Marcial, Disfrutar or Noor, each one has maintained a level of excellence down to the finest detail, with menus that continue to define the trajectory of today's haute cuisine.
Two MICHELIN Stars, a commendation reserved for establishments serving exceptional cuisine, represent the second highest award a restaurant can aspire to. To this select group – whose members already include such outstanding and diverse establishments as Coque, in Madrid; Skina, in Marbella; or Mugaritz, in Errenteria – our Inspectors have added five new restaurants, each with its own distinct and captivating culinary personality.
In Barcelona, three establishments have received the distinction for the first time: Aleia, which stands out for its pared-back, ingredient-led style; Enigma, a benchmark for consistent creativity; and Mont Bar, the gastro-bar that takes tapas to the next level. In inland Catalonia, Two Stars have been awarded to La Boscana, which is committed to revolutionizing the role of fruit in contemporary cuisine. And in Madrid, the recently opened Ramón Freixa Atelier has been awarded Two Stars on account of the precise balance between tradition and avant-garde style, that it strikes in every dish.
From Big Cities to Small Towns
Having toured the country, the Inspectors are in no doubt: Culinary talent is to be found in every corner of Spain, from the mainland to the archipelagos, both in established locales and emerging restaurants.
The large cities have the highest concentration of Stars, which is the result of different food cultures intersecting in urban centers, rising demand for hospitality services and tourism that never wanes. In Spanish cities, newly Starred restaurants rub shoulders: Kamikaze and SCAPAR in Barcelona; EMi and Èter in Madrid; Palodú in Málaga; or Itzuli in Donostia-San Sebastián.
But it is not only urban settings that are fertile ground for Stars. Many small towns – some off the beaten track – are home to projects that have integrated the remoteness of their location into their identity. For example, Casa Rubén is in the Aragonese Pyrenees, surrounded by untouched nature, and Vértigo is perched atop a cliff of the Ribeira Sacra.
It is also worth mentioning that in this edition of The MICHELIN Guide Spain, some destinations have upped the ante with the addition of new Stars. Alongside Barcelona, which has seen further Two- and One-Star establishments join its already extensive ranks, Andalusia is proving to be a force to be reckoned with. Five of its eight provinces have earned new MICHELIN Stars: Cádiz with Mare, Córdoba with ReComiendo, Granada with Faralá, Málaga with Palodú and Sevilla with Ochando.
A Twist On Home-Style Cooking
Traditional home-style cooking is enjoying a revival in Spain. This year, the Inspectors have discovered a multitude of establishments that are championing local recipes, putting a new spin on ancestral dishes and breathing new life into the culinary heritage of their respective regions. Several new Stars shine bright precisely on account of this principle – but they do not limit themselves to reproducing traditional flavours; rather, they reinterpret them, deploying technique and creativity. A case in point is La Revelía, with its solid Basque foundations; another is Ancestral, which serves up a fresh take on the cuisine of La Mancha, while preserving the authenticity of the original.
In the new 2026 selection, this deep connection to the land is also reflected in the use of local ingredients – which has become something of a mantra –, with absolute respect for the seasons and for growers. In line with this ethos are new One-MICHELIN-Starred restaurants, such as Islares, in Bilbao; Taller Seve Diaz, in Tenerife; or Barahonda, in the Region of Murcia.
Other establishments that fete and promote local cuisine through the prism of influences from other continents, especially Asia and South America, stand out from the crowd. Newly MICHELIN-Starred restaurants such as Regueiro in Tox, or Rubén Miralles, in Vinaròs, do just that in a most seamless way.
Starred Restaurants in MICHELIN Key Hotels
Although MICHELIN Stars for restaurants and MICHELIN Keys for hotels are awarded separately, in Spain there are several places where the two go hand in hand. And this is no coincidence: a truly memorable meal usually takes place in surroundings that complement the experience.
Some of the most notable examples include Akelaŕe in San Sebastián, set in the elegant Akelarre hotel; Atrio in Cáceres, in the refined Hotel Restaurante Atrio; Deessa in the Mandarin Oriental Ritz; or Canfranc Express, in a converted historical railway complex in Canfranc Estación, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, which obtained Two MICHELIN Keys this year.
