Lasarte

It's unusual to find spin-offs that manage to live up to the standards set by the original, but that is exactly what has happened in this incredible restaurant, named after the town in which legendary chef Martín Berasategui built his culinary empire.Here, Paolo Casagrande, the protégé of this San Sebastián culinary maestro, puts his own spin on exquisite dishes first conceived by his mentor, showcasing them in a more avant-garde setting (undulating ceilings that mimic waves, ethereal lamps that resemble jellyfish, golden tones, etc.). The menu, created by both chefs, with à la carte and set menu options, is heightened when you choose Il Milione, a private, unique experience independent of the main dining room (by reservation only, from 2 to 8 diners, in the former Chef's Table) designed to guide the senses towards excellence in a gastronomic journey through ingredients, technique and creativity (inspired by the famous ‘Book of Wonders’ that recounted Marco Polo's travels).
