Chefs

Flavour and improvisation make up this chef’s formula for success who, after working in kitchens in France, England and China, returned to his homeland in 2006 to open his restaurant, Mina, and put Bilbao’s “La Vieja” on the gastronomic map.

The Mina Warriors kitchen, nicknamed for its former status as an old mining exploration, is where the alchemy between market availability and innovation happens, churning out a new menu every day.

Euskadi Award Winner for Best Restaurateur in 2017, Álvaro Garrido has maintained his Michelin star since 2013.
