What connection point does the number 1 of this year have with EUHT StPOL as well as the restaurants that have occupied the first place on the list The World’s 50 Best in the previous editions?

All of them have been considered the best restaurants in the world but in addition, the chefs of these restaurants that have several Michelin stars have visited EUHT StPOL in recent years to give a masterclass, to preside over the jury of the Culinary Contest or to participate in an international event.

From EUHT StPOL we are proud to say that five numbers 1 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants have been at the Hotel-School of Sant Pol de Mar.

Along with the best restaurants in the world, chefs from other establishments that rank high on the list in 2019 have also been at EUHT StPOL recently. They are:

• 7th Mugaritz, by Chef Andoni Luis Aduriz in Errentería, País Vasco (Spain).
• 9th Disfrutar, by Chef Oriol Castro, Mateu Casañas and Eduard Xatruch in Barcelona (Spain).
• 16th Alain Ducasse, the namesake restaurant of the Chef in Paris (France).
• 20th Tickets, by Albert Adrià in Barcelona (Spain).

In addition to their visit to EUHT StPOL, the connection with these restaurants goes further as many of them welcome students from different academic programs of the school to do their internships and some end up becoming part of their teams. That is the case, for example, of Oscar Mayer, former student of the Master in Culinary Arts and Kitchen Management of EUHT StPOL and current head chef of the restaurant Disfrutar in Barcelona, ​​with two Michelin stars and number 9 on the list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

From EUHT StPOL, we congratulate all the winners and thank them for their presence and collaboration with our center, hoping to receive them again very soon.
