Mugaritz Errenteria Reviews
A wild, weird, and totally wonderful culinary experiment
I went to Mugaritz without expectations, but open to culinary experimentation. Wow. What a night! I've never done anything remotely like this in my life. I'm 70, well traveled, and have eaten at plenty of Michelin starred restaurants. Muga
Extremely disappointing experience.
We went to Mugaritz for my husband's birthday and couldn't have been more disappointed. Having eaten in many Michelin starred restaurants around the world, we were really looking forward to an evening of culinary delights. How wrong we we
AVOID
The worst culinary experience of my life. PERIOD. Nothing edible. I couldnโt understand anything the staff said. Awful !
If you know before you go, the experience is different
Iโm from NYC. My husband, 15 year old daughter, and I went to Mugaritz for dinner. We had read the reviews scathing and not about Mugaritz- making you eat bacteria and mold but by then I had already booked this restaurant and wasnโt going to lo
When we made our plans to come to Mugaritz, I spent a lot of time reading through reviews, both from diners and critics. I've never seen so much controversy about any other culinary experience, and I arrived knowing full well that the meal might
Mugaritz is iconic! It is not the best meal you'll ever
Mugaritz is iconic! It is not the best meal you'll ever eat, it is not the most comfortable you'll ever be in a dining setting, and it is certainly not the most enjoyable time you'll have at lunch or dinner. But we're here for art
I came to Mugaritz with high expectationsโฆ
I came to Mugaritz with high expectations, given its global reputation and avant-garde culinary approach. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of what I anticipated. The tasting menu is undoubtedly bold and conceptual. Some dishes were inventive
Worst restaurant Iโve experienced!
Whilst I understand the concept of the restaurant I found the food to be completely tasteless.Having been to many Michelin Restaurants during my time in San Sabestien including two Three Star restaurants I do not believe this should have any stars.I
Donโt recommend
Absolutely disappointing. It was sooo bad that it is hard to describe. It was to celebrate my sonโs 25th and not only the food was below std in taste and creativity but they didnโt do anything special for birthday boy. We were so excited for
Not worth the money or the hype
I hate writing reviews but I felt like I had to after spending a lot of money and eating food that was just simply disgusting. It pains me to say it but Iโve been to so many Michelin star restaurants and people need to stop saying this one is โan
Birthday Meal
Canโt tell you enough how bad is this place. It taste awful and it got worse and worse with the subsequent dish, and it the ingredients and taste just do not work. I donโt know how this place can be awarded 2 michelin stars and is one of the top
Frankly awful. Avoid
Just awful from start to finish. At the end of the day however clever you think you are as a chef - the food has to taste good and in reality the food is a disaster. From the 22 courses served there was not a single dish that I would ever want to eat
Worst fine dining experience ever
We travelled 1000 miles without reading the reviews as we didnโt want to taint our judgement. We are absolutely horrified at the entire experience. Itโs not food. I wouldnโt recommend anyone whoโs into fine dining to waste their money and tim
Worst experience ever
We made a very expensive mistake by going to Mugaritz. Nothing was good except the wine. Food was not edible and service was below standard. Do not be a fool like me who gave Mugaritz a chance despite bad reviews. Spend your money wisely and my ad
CRASHED
A horror experience, as the guide can maintain 2 stars in this restaurant. The kitchen tries too hard to be different and the truth is that the food is unpleasant and inedible. What a very unproductive research process to be able to create a menu tha
So bad itโs funny
The setting is lovely, the service was good and the wine was decent. Everything else was dreadful. The food tries to be bold and interesting but itโs actually just bizarre and bland. Out of 23-25 courses there were only two or three that I would
Absolutely awful experience.
Don't get me wrong. We love innovative , creative , edgy cuisines that push boundaries and challenge comfort zones. That's why we went. But this place is a total rip-off. Few of the dishes were well prepared or tasty. Most of the staff couldn't even
Great opportunity for improvement
Very beautiful place, great service, entertaining experience. However the primary objective is the food. This was a great disappointment. Either no taste or a weird taste. The 22 dishes were beautifully presented, but many of the dishes simply didnโ
Read the reviews, believe them
Do not waste youโre money with this restaurant. Read the reviews and believe them. Do not give this restaurant the benefit of the doubt, they actually blame you for doing this. Until it improves, leave it alone. Itโs very poor, in comparison to o
Donโt be Fooled - Not a Michelin **
In Short this restaurant is fooling its clients in a major way itโs almost Fraud to call it a two star Michelin experience. They have taken art way too seriously and forgotten to provide taste, two from 12 dishes were edible thatโs all. We comp
Hell's Kitchen
Mugaritz is one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. The waiters call this meal a gastronomical experience, but I call it a gastronomical nightmare. For some context, my family and I came to San Sebastian exclusively for food, so we booked Arz
Scam or culinary snobbery!
After having tried all the starred restaurants in the Basque country, we were left with Mugaritz, surely a deduction linked to certain comments. Disregarding this apprehension, we took the plunge in July 2023. What a mistake! Wanting to be original o
A horrible horrible meal and a total ripoff.
This used to be a realy great restaurant but has degenerated into a pretentious waste of time and money. Staff are very difficult to understand so trying to work out what was in each dish was nearly impossible. Some dishes - the wax egg full of water
Just three words - silly, pretentious, unappealing
A once excellent restaurant gone right off the rails. Mugaritz used to be one of the best restaurants in basque country but the chef now seems to be so wrapped up in his desire to be different that Mugaritz has become a bad and very expensive joke.
A huge disappointment
3rd time that I went to dine in this restaurant which used to be divine and left me with memorable culinary memories. Under the guise of giving you a culinary experience, the chef has totally lost himself in a crazy pseudo-creativity, having forgotte
What a desappointment
One of my greatest culinary experiences 10 years ago. And yet an incredible disappointment this time again. One understands the technicality and the work carried out but unfortunately to the detriment of taste and the absence of a common thread. The
Arrogance and incompetence
Lamentable gastronomy, we are not customers but at the disposal of the staff it is the height! After 1 hour of โtastingโ they asked us to leave, we accepted and the incredible bill took up the entire meal, more than โฌ600!!! Restaurant to avoid
Spain Trip ( mugaritz is in our top list )
It was nice experience, food was very experimental, service was exceptional from the host, servers and the kitchen, thank u for taking care of us DAVID and the team.
You should surely know what to expect
There is no point of giving this โPlaceโ anything but one or five stars. Everyone who books Mugaritz should have a fair idea what they are in for - in our case 22 dishes over 3 hours of culinary experience (or experimentation) If it doesnโt mee
Worst ever
The worst experience I've ever had. If someone gave me โฌ1,000, I would never go there again. An absolute nightmare!!!
Unique experience
A true luxury to have had the opportunity to experience this place. All the staff were very attentive and helpful, we felt very cared for and pampered at all times. We were very surprised (in a positive way) by the presentation of the dishes. The co
Different from everything: you have to go with an open mind
A unique place. I don't think it is suitable for everyone since you need to go with a very open mind and want to be surprised by breaking some mental scheme and understanding that here you don't come to eat the best turbot or the best peas tears or p
Terrible Experience and Flavors
I had a sensory experience (very unpleasant) through the food, and NOT a gastronomic experience. There is no cutlery, extremely bizarre and unconventional flavors (like oyster beard, many fermented or slimy things, a lot of gelatin), small plates to
The Emperor's New Clothes
This is not a restaurant. They say itโs an โexperience.โ In reality itโs more like a movie set for โThe Menu.โ Watch the movie before going, and donโt expect to eat any actual food. I was amazed by the people around me pretending to enj
Sad that you can spoil food in this way
If you want real food and not a playhouse with food don't go here If you like spectacular ways of eating food, go here Like if you want to lick a face full of jelly Suck on something that looks like a nipple Eat food that tastes nothing We got abou
Horror experience
We should have known better. The chef is almost never in his restaurant, we were told by the staff. Well, it would be better if he was there because then he would be able to see the mess which is created by this menu. Completely over the top, sometim
Its owner says โexpensive and strangeโ my experience โexpensive and badโ
I had never had such a bad dinner in my life. It doesn't taste like anything, nothing. We love touring the Michelin Stars of this country and trying new things, but this is not food, nor experience, nor flavor, nor texture. I don't know what it will
Absolute disappointment
We had been waiting for this moment for a long time, we had come from very far away and were very excited to be able to try another Michelin star again, since these places can be visited in an exceptional way in our case. What we take???? Absolute di

This menu was too intellectual.
I was looking for a meal, and I got a piece of art instead. And even as an art piece, it felt discombobulated and unfocused. I couldn't tell what the central theme of the meal was, if there was meant to be one in the first place. Pro: Every dish
The owners of this business are totally unethical.
They charge people full price to get on their wait list and only disclose that this payment is non/refundable in fine print. So even if you never eat there and never get a reservation, they try to keep your money. They are total bandits.
One of the worst "experiences ever with regards to dining".
You are literally served garbage in a fancy display...this made me wonder whether the chef is mocking his customers and lost connection or at the minimum is misinterpreting novelty by staging unpleasant experiences ... the menu includes sucking mi

Are you brave enough ?
Only for the brave. Either you love it or not , there is no in between for this star restaurant. Went there last summer. Hope to be back.
Never again
We were looking forward to an extraordinary experience and it was indeed extraordinary, in a negative sense. 5 of the 20-25 courses were good or ok. The rest was really bad or even inedible. We were initially told there was no dessert, which is under

Connect with users posting reservations for Mugaritz Errenteria
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Mugaritz Errenteria. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mugaritz Errenteria at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mugaritz Errenteria page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Mugaritz Errenteria to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mugaritz Errenteria!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
