The prestige of Spain's food scene has been reflected once again as two more of the country's restaurants were awarded three Michelin stars – the highest accolade handed out by the Michelin Guide.

ABaC in Barcelona and Aponiente near Cadiz were given the honours at an event in Tenerife on Wednesday. That takes Spain's total count of three Michelin star restaurants to 11: the aforementioned pair along with Akelaŕe, Arzak, Azurmendi, El Celler de Can Roca, DiverXO, Lasarte, Martín Berasategui, Quique Dacosta and Sant Pau

 

Ante todo agradecer a @michelinguide por reconocer con estas tres estrellas nuestro trabajo y dedicación. Como bien sabéis esto que nos acaba de pasar no sería posible sin la tripulación de Aponiente: camareros, jefes de rango, maitres, cocineros, sumilleres, artesanos, stagiers, personal de recepción y oficina, limpiadoras... GRACIAS POR EL ESFUERZO CONTINUO Y DIARIO. También agradecer a Juan Ruiz y a Jorge Ponce por su dedicación eterna y constancia insaciable hacia este proyecto y por hacer bailar a la sala en cada servicio. A Luiti, el jefe de cocina de esta casa, el mago de los sabores siempre acompañado de Alan, un pilar fundamental en los fogones. Y como no, a nuestro capitán Angel León, el realizador de los sueños imposibles, la persona que creó Aponiente y el que nos hace seguir esta filosofía de vida. Gracias por crear este equipo de almas marineras y por tu confianza en nosotros! Seguiremos trabajando duro por la excelencia para que nuestros clientes disfruten al máximo de esta experiencia. La suma de muchos esfuerzos hacen realidad este sueño. GRACIAS POR CREER EN NOSOTROS! #aponiente #michelinstar #gastronomy #spain #andalucia #cadiz
