REVEALED: Spain’s cheapest Michelin-starred restaurants
The only new three-star restaurant for 2025 was awarded to Casa Marcial, located in Arriondas, Asturias. It surprised inspectors due to its high culinary level, far away from big cities.
The three new 2-star restaurants were Alevante in Chiclana de la Frontera, LÚ Cocina y Alma in Jerez de la Frontera (both and Andalusia) and Retiro Da Costiña in Santa Comba, Galicia.
Alevante is located in the luxurious Gran Meliá Sancti Petri hotel in Chiclana de la Frontera and is headed up by chef Ángel León, known as "The chef of sea", with many of the dishes centred around local seafood from the area.
LÚ Cocina y Alma is run by Chef Juanlu Fernández who is fan of slow-cooking and defines his food as a "rear avant-garde”. The menu focuses on Gallic cuisine using the best Andalusian products, paired with Jerez’s famous sherry.
Retiro Da Costiña was awarded two-stars due to its Costiña 85 anniversary tasting menu, which gives a nod to the history of the house it’s located in and the chef's family.
