History

The restaurant is recognized by the press as "the most important gastronomic phenomenon of the world in recent times".^[1] Both Mugaritz and Andoni Luis Aduriz frequently show up on pages of media like "Omnivore", "Le Figaro" in France, "Brutus", "Cuisine Kingdom" in Japan, "The Trade" and "Republic" in Latin America and the U.S. "Time" or "The Observer ". Mugaritz earned its first Michelin star in 2000 and, five years later, in 2005, the Michelin Guide awarded it a second one.^[2] The restaurant has also the highest rating by the Repsol Guide, the Three “Soles” and a multitude of honors for his innovative and creative activity in gastronomy.

Fire

On the morning of February 15, 2010^[3] a short circuit caused a serious fire in Mugaritz's kitchen, so the restaurant was closed for four months. After the fire, the team received thousands of expressions of solidarity from around the world,^[4] which gave them strength to go ahead with the project.
