Best Tasting Menus in Logroño

Aitor Esnal

Deep wine list

Aitor Esnal belongs to Logroño’s more serious dining tier, where Rioja produce, city-center pacing, and award recognition matter more than spectacle. Its 2026 Guía Repsol 1 Sol places it in a selective Spanish restaurant conversation, useful for travelers weighing a focused meal against the city’s easier tapas rhythm.

Ajonegro

1 Michelin star

Ajonegro holds a Michelin star in Logroño for its precise fusion of Mexican and La Riojan ingredients, led by two chefs who trained under Jordi Cruz at the three-Michelin-starred ABaC. Seasonal produce drives a menu where spice is calibrated for European palates, moving between tacos built on local proteins and desserts rooted in Mexican tradition. An à la carte and tasting menu run Wednesday through Sunday, with Sunday lunch the final service of the week.

Arsa

Arsa sits in Logroño’s dining conversation at the point where Rioja produce, city-centre pacing and formal recognition meet. Its 1 Sol in the Guía Repsol 2026 places it beyond casual tapas-hopping, but the more useful lens is sourcing: in La Rioja, the measure of a serious kitchen is how clearly it translates nearby gardens, meats, preserved goods and wine-country seasonality onto the plate.

Ikaro

1 Michelin star

Ikaro in Logroño presents Michelin-starred contemporary Spanish cuisine with clear Ecuadorian and Basque influences. Must-try offerings include the Seasonal Tasting Menu, Ecuadorian-inspired ceviche, and a La Rioja lamb preparation that highlights local produce. The kitchen of Carolina Sánchez and Iñaki Murua blends precise technique with bright tropical accents, while an attentive sommelier pairs each course with wines from La Rioja. Expect refined textures, sharp citrus notes, and sauces reduced to clean intensity. Reservations via Resy are recommended for lunch or dinner; the intimate dining room and open kitchen ensure a personal, memorable meal.

Juan Carlos Ferrando

Deep wine list

A family-run contemporary restaurant on Calle María Teresa Gil de Gárate, Juan Carlos Ferrando holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition for 2024 and 2025 and operates at the €€ price point, one tier below Logroño's starred restaurants. The kitchen frames traditional Riojan recipes with modern technique and an international edge, anchored by a cod cheeks pilpil that serves as the clearest measure of what the kitchen can do.

Kiro Sushi

1 Michelin star

A six-seat omakase counter in Logroño operating at the summit of Spain's small but serious Japanese dining tier. Chef Félix Jiménez trained under maestro Yoshikawa Takamasa in Japan, bringing Edomae technique and Shokunin philosophy to a 300-year-old doorway in La Rioja. Ranked #308 in Europe by Opinionated About Dining in 2025 and holding one Michelin star, Kiro Sushi is among the more precise Japanese counters operating outside a major Spanish city.

La Galería

Deep wine list

La Galería belongs to Logroño’s more composed restaurant tier, where Rioja produce and wine-country expectations matter as much as technique. Its 1 Sol recognition in Guía Repsol 2026 places it among the city’s serious contemporary addresses, distinct from Laurel-style grazing and the region’s more traditional dining rooms.

Marques de Riscal Restaurant

Deep wine list

Set within Frank Gehry's titanium-wrapped hotel-winery in Elciego, recognised as Europe's leading vineyard estate in 2021, Marques de Riscal Restaurant positions modern Spanish cooking against one of La Rioja's most architecturally charged backdrops. Chef Francis Paniego oversees two tasting menus drawing on Basque technique and Álava's seasonal larder, with Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025.

Moderna Tradición

Deep wine list

Moderna Tradición belongs to Logroño’s small but serious dining tier, where Rioja’s meal rituals matter as much as technique. Its 1 Sol recognition in Guía Repsol 2026 places it among Spanish restaurants with national critical attention, while the city context keeps the experience tied to long lunches, wine-aware pacing, and a sharper reading of tradition than the name alone suggests.

Sabores

On Plaza del Mercado in the heart of Logroño, Sabores holds back-to-back Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) for contemporary cooking rooted firmly in Rioja's larder. Two chefs run a relaxed, approachable room where the price sits at €€, making serious technique accessible without ceremony. It is one of the more coherent expressions of the regional ingredient-first movement in La Rioja's mid-tier dining scene.
