Fuengirola, Spain

Los Marinos José

On the Paseo Marítimo at Playa de Carvajal, Los Marinos José is Fuengirola's benchmark for Andalusian seafood, ranked first in Opinionated About Dining's Casual Europe list for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025) and recognised with a Michelin Plate. The kitchen sources from its own fishing boats, placing species such as Motril shrimp and red prawns from local waters at the centre of the menu. Closed Sundays, Mondays, and throughout December and most of January.

SanBrite

A one-Michelin-star dining room in Cortina d'Ampezzo where home-produced and regional Dolomite ingredients define the menu. SanBrite — the name translates as 'healthy pasture' — takes a small-tables format with recycled-wood interiors and a dining-room window framing the Ampezzo peaks. Ranked 233rd among Opinionated About Dining's top European restaurants in 2025, it represents the more considered end of alpine fine dining.

Ti Trin Ned

Ti Trin Ned holds a Michelin star on the waterfront of Fredericia, where chef Michael Nørtoft builds menus around local seafood and kitchen-garden produce. The address — Toldkammeret 9, steps from the water — shapes the kitchen's priorities as much as any culinary philosophy.

4 Charles Prime Rib

A West Village supper club that has built its reputation on salt-crusted USDA prime rib and a wine program weighted toward bold reds. Ranked #2 in Opinionated About Dining's Casual North America list in 2023 and #4 in 2024, 4 Charles Prime Rib draws a devoted crowd to its candlelit, leather-booth interior on one of Manhattan's quieter residential streets.

Atalaya

Atalaya holds a Michelin star in Alcossebre, a small coastal town on the Valencian Community's northern shore, where its two young chefs bring technique sharpened at Martín Berasategui's three-star kitchen to a menu rooted in local Mediterranean produce. Three set menus, an open kitchen, and a wine cellar anteroom make this one of the Costa del Azahar's most considered fine-dining addresses at the €€€ price point.

Callizo

A Michelin-starred address in the medieval hilltop town of Aínsa, Callizo occupies a stone building on the Plaza Mayor and builds its two tasting menus around the small-scale producers of the Sobrarbe valley. The kitchen frames its approach as "techno-emotional mountain cuisine" — precise in technique, grounded in Pyrenean terroir.

Ondara, Spain

Casa Pepa

A one-Michelin-star address in the Marina Alta countryside, Casa Pepa operates under the BonAmb group with chef Emmanuelle Baron leading the kitchen. Ranked #466 in the Opinionated About Dining Classical Europe list (2025), it occupies a restored farmhouse outside Ondara, serving contemporary-Mediterranean cuisine across à la carte and set menus. The setting — terrace, century-old vine, half-open kitchen — rewards the detour from the coast.

Cobo Evolución

Cobo Evolución holds a Michelin star (2024) and operates from Cobo Estratos on Plaza de la Libertad, sharing facilities with its sibling Cobo Tradición. A single tasting menu titled 'Humanidad' structures each service around the archaeological heritage of nearby Atapuerca, moving through stages of human evolution via ingredients and techniques drawn from Castile and beyond. Open Thursday to Sunday for lunch, with evening sittings on Friday and Saturday.
