The Michelin Guide 2013 |

The Michelin Guide 2013 for Spain and Portugal was presented last week in Madrid at a ceremony held at the luxurious Ritz hotel and surrounded by a huge media attention, including the presence of a government minister and global head of the red guides. Never before had warmed both the previous environment, with the announcement that it was going to be a particularly good year in which the distribution of stars is concerned. And the truth is that Michelin never disappoints. Indeed, the 2013 guide has awarded 20 new stars, which are reduced to 12 since there are eight restaurants that lose theirs, but in all these cases the loss is due to closure of the establishment or change of chef. It is also the first time in the history of the Michelin guide in Spain receive two three-star restaurants simultaneously. But one thing is that the hand is open, usually stingy, and other eligibility criteria are. Not enough to hand out stars, do it with some logic. And this is conspicuously absent when we review the list of new starry. And not because of those who receive it, also in several cases, for those left out of the deal. A unfairness that this time truly worrying reaches heights. In this blog we have been, are, and will be, the Michelin guide defenders against alternative lists of dubious transparency. But that does not mean we criticize what we do not like. And this year is pretty. Michelin

We must congratulate the new starry, and especially those who have managed to raise one more step. Quique Dacosta and ascend to Olympus Azurmendi of triestrellados. And ENOTECA and MOMENTS, both of Barcelona, the two hotel restaurants, up a step and reach the second. There are 16 establishments get their first star. In addition to a Portuguese BELCANTO, Lisbon.
