At a time when culinary mastery and culinary innovation reign, Barcelona has risen to the pinnacle of epicurean excellence and is now being hailed as the culinary capital of the world. This anointment, a testament to the city’s gastronomic prowess, is encapsulated by the accolade bestowed on Disfrutar, recently crowned the best restaurant in the world by The World’s 50 Best Restaurant List, and Sips, a beacon of mixological marvels revered as the best bar in the world by the same organisation. The two luminaries are just four minutes walk away from each other, making Barcelona the epicentre of gourmet enchantment. Especially also when you look at Michelin accolades as of Spain’s 15 three Michelin-starred restaurants, 4 are in Barcelona - more than any other city in the Iberian Peninsula. Those are: Lasarte (2017) ABaC (2018) Hermanos Torres (2022) Disfrutar (2023) …of which I am pleased that Bon Vivant Communications has the great honour of representing two. But what exactly does it mean to have three Michelin stars? What does the prestigious guide value when granting this recognition? In grand documentary 'Michelin Stars - Tales from the Kitchen', which I happened to co-produce, the red guide’s former managing director, Michael Ellis, lists the gastronomic criteria they take into account. This piece by Vanitatis/El Confidencial (in Spanish) goes in-depth with these matters while also offering a great overview and insight into the four three Michelin-starred restaurants of Joan Miró’s city and why you should visit them. “Radiografía de los restaurantes triestrellados de Barcelona” https://lnkd.in/ddENNXRj

Exploring Culinary Gold: The Essence of Luxury in Gastronomy Edible gold, often found as 24-karat gold leaf or flakes, is a non-reactive and flavorless element, making it a purely aesthetic addition to fine dining experiences. Chefs use it to adorn everything from luxurious desserts and confectioneries to exquisite main dishes and even cocktails, adding a touch of elegance and grandeur. Historically, edible gold was a symbol of wealth and prestige, savored by nobility and used in traditional medicines. Today, it represents the pinnacle of culinary artistry, offering a visually stunning experience that complements the gastronomic excellence of high-end cuisine. As diners eat dishes garnished with gold, they partake in a centuries-old tradition of opulence, enjoying a sensory experience that transcends taste, embodying the intersection of culinary craftsmanship and artistic expression.
