The Verdict

Azurmendi is a flagship of the Biscayan fine dining scene, and is very technical and conceptual. The dining experience at Azurmendi is unusual in that it goes beyond just sitting at a table and being fed. Claimed to be one of the most beautiful restaurants in Spain, chef Eneko Atxa and his team take you by the hand to discover each corner of the marvellous space. In addition, Azurmendi is one of the only restaurants in the world where the concept of sustainability is fully incorporated. electricity is gained out of solar panels; the rain water is recovered and used for sanitary purposes; the team planted 700 trees to stimulate the afforestation and the surplus energy is recovered and re-used. The service was polished, professional and attentive. Overall this was another impressive meal. This is how a 3 ⭐️ should be. The service, the ambience, the creativity and the quality of ingredients without compromising the taste. Flavour combinations are logical and complementary rather than there to shock or show off. The chef manages to pull it off successfully.
