NEW YORK TIMES: “In Bilbao, it’s not just the museum”

Bilbao is the centre of tourism in the Basque Country. St. Sebastian is the city with more Michelin stars per capital than any other city in the world, but in a couple of years Bilbao will become better than St. Sebastian in cooking.

RESTAURANT GUGGENHEIM:
Frank Gehry is the architect of the Guggenheim museum, and now the Chef Mr. Martinez is the cook of the museum. “El Bulli” and “Mugaritz” are the avant-garde restaurant in Spain, but new restaurants follow them.
Chef Josean Martinez Alija inove the cooking with easy forms and new tastes. The restaurant decoration is minimalist like the cooking, and plays with the colours-splotched.
Chef Martinez inove with the food, the costumers eat more than a one course. The menu is made up of ten dishes.
In this restaurant he focuses almost entirely on vegetable because Mr. Martinez con play with them and this helps him to be more creative.
There is a new restaurant in Bilbao a magical restaurant in the Guggenheim’s museum.
