If there is a night par excellence in the world of gastronomy, it is the night of the Michelin Star delivery galawhich on this occasion was held on the afternoon of this Tuesday, November 26 at the VÃctor Villegas Auditorium and Congress Center in Murcia where the best chefs in the country have collected the respective awards to their restaurants.
Although the excitement is palpable in the atmosphere and everyone present is eagerly waiting to meet the winners and everyone has more than enough reasons to boast about a job well done, the truth is that those who get the three Michelin Stars become the main protagonists of the night.
What it means to get three Michelin Stars
Although the Michelin Stars are as such the most popular awards in the guide, the truth is that the gastronomic publication also distributes other recognitions that are worthy of applause, like the Green Stars to those that are more sustainable or the seal Bib Gourmand to the cheapest, those restaurants that have not yet obtained a Star, but are safe places to eat quality food.
Getting one Star is not the same as getting three, of course, which is why the guide explains it in a simple way. what is the difference between one prize and another. While winning a Star means that we are facing a very good restaurant where presence and quality are taken care of, the two Stars ensure that it is “excellent cuisine that deserves a detour along the way.” For its part, the three Michelin Stars are synonymous with a place with “an exceptional cuisine that deserves a special trip to that destination“.
Casa Marcial, the new three Michelin Stars 2025
This family restaurant with brothers Nacho and Esther Manzano At the helm (although the new generation is going strong), it boasts of maintaining the essence of the food house where the chefs have grown up.
Although at only 22 years old Nacho was the one who started what has now become the favorite restaurant of the Spaniards, little by little his sisters joined in, who today play a fundamental role in the restaurant and have become key pillars of everything that is done there.
The Casa Marcial website states that “Your kitchen is an extension of your way of seeing life“, which Manzano assures can be translated as his own professional evolution and that of the place as a restaurant.
One of the merits that can be attributed to this restaurant in Arriondas is that of rescuing some of the most popular recipes of Asturian gastronomy and make them authentic works of art worthy of a restaurant at their level.
