Mugaritz vs Arzak




Entering these restaurants, my knowledge of either of these was thin. Perhaps aiding my assessment, untainted.
In recent times, the basque have charged at the culinary scene in a manner a kin to their bulls.
The first arena, Mugaritz was impossible to find. At the end of a winding grass framed road winding up behind San Sebastian, sits this barn turned Michelin star dining room.
A little easier to find is Arzak, sitting up the hill minutes from San Sebastian.
The greeting at both establishments is genuine, smiles, questions and information proceed.
