Nuevo Vasco Rocks!!
On the Menu recently dined with and interviewed Chefs/Owners of 3 restaurants named to the Restaurant Magazine-San Pellegrino World's top 50. That we did this in 3 days is remarkable in itself. What's more remarkable is that all 3 are within 20 minutes driving distance of each other, in the Basque (Vasco) region of Northern Spain. Mugaritz (ranked #4), Arzak (8) and Martin Berasategui (29) are in and around San Sebastian (Donostia to Basques), making it the right place to stay when you visit these great restaurants. There are 2 more that we couldn't include in our brief visit. We'd love to hear from you if you've explored this exciting cuisine, and of course we welcome your suggestions about other places that have a similar concentration of fine dining experiences.

I almost forgot. The best news if you're considering a visit - you can here On the Menu's interviews with the 3 great Chefs in the www.onthemenuradio.com OTM Audio Archives for Nov 2, in the orginal Spanish with an English translation track.
Next time hit Akelarre..a three star on the mountain south of town, Kokotxa right by the Cathedral, Cuchara San Telmo by the old pump and Alona Berri in Gros....for pintxos that will blow your mind.
