“Carolina Sánchez and Iñaki Murúa merge in the kitchen influences from Ecuador (she was born there), Euskadi (he is from Laguardia) and La Riojain whose capital they give free rein to their creativity”, rescues the guide for the year 2022, adding that the decoration comes to them for “presenting neat and tasty proposals that appeal to the emotional and even have a nuance of exoticism when American ingredients and preparations come onto the scene that often connect with the most popular cuisine”.
Add: “Nuances and tributes to their respective origins therefore occur in a comfortable space and urban airwhere the service does not skimp on explanations and the winery does not limit itself to extolling Rioja wines”.
Sánchez received the award, a yellow sphere like a sun, as the name indicates, in the company of Murúa. “We have spent some wonderful days in San Sebastian together with friends and colleagues, surely they are days that we will remember forever,” said the Ecuadorian chef.
