Ezcaray, Spain
El Portal de Echaurren
El Portal de Echaurren holds two Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 90 points (2026), operating from a converted stagecoach post in the La Rioja village of Ezcaray. Francis Paniego, fifth-generation custodian of a century-old family house, runs two tasting menus built around Riojan territory, seasonal ingredients, and a technical approach to offal and local produce that places the restaurant among Spain's most closely watched addresses outside the major cities.
