Why Burgos Has No Michelin Restaurants (And Why That's Great)
Burgos · Photo by Hotellook Why Burgos Has No Michelin Restaurants (And Why That's Great) When I asked a Burgos waiter for the city's Michelin spot last April, he laughed and said, "We don't have that here. But we do have the best cochinillo (roast suckling pig) in Spain." That's the truth: Burgos has zero Michelin stars because it's a medieval city focused on authentic Castilian food, not star-chasing. The Michelin Guide listed zero Burgos restaurants in 2023—so you won't find a €200 tasting menu here. Instead, you'll get €12 cochinillo at family-run spots like El Paseo, served by the same family since 1950. No star, but real food.
