Eneko Atxa
Chef at Azurmendi*** (Larrabetzu, Bizkaia, Spain)
Eneko Atxa cooking goes back to his roots and is also poetical: the sublimation of the product through aesthetics on the plate. And it follows a socially engaged philosophy: health and the environment.
Eneko Atxa is one of the most important figures in international gastronomy. National Gastronomy Award 2015, he runs the Eneko restaurants in Larrabetzu*, Bilbao*, London, Tokyo and Lisbon, as well as the original Azurmendi restaurant -three Michelin stars and Most Sustainable Restaurant in the World according to The World’s 50 Best 2018-, amounting to a total of five Michelin stars. A symbol of poetry on a plate, the Biscayan forms part of the technical Committee of San Sebastian Gastronomika and last year at Madrid Fusion he was European Chef of the year, among other awards.
