However, the apparent previous calm did not anticipate the unexpected twist of the night: <strong data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"968\">no restaurant was awarded the third star<\/strong>. The French guide opted to keep the elite of haute cuisine intact, revalidating the 16 three-starred restaurants that already shone in the previous edition.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1554\">The list, therefore, remains unchanged. The great culinary temples such as Casa Marcial, Arzak, Lasarte, DiverXO, El Celler de Can Roca, Noor, Cocina Hermanos Torres or Disfrutar retain their privileged position. For many chefs, critics and followers of gastronomy, the decision reinforces the idea that access to the highest recognition is today more complex than ever, a summit reserved for proposals of sustained excellence.  <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1633\"><strong data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1633\">Five restaurants promoted to two stars in an emotional evening<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1869\">If the gala did not bring joy at the top, it was especially generous on the second step. Five restaurants were recognized with <strong data-start=\"1774\" data-end=\"1800\">two Michelin stars<\/strong>, giving rise to some of the most emotional moments of the ceremony. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1871\" data-end=\"2289\">One of them came when the <strong data-start=\"1910\" data-end=\"1931\">Aleia team (Barcelona)<\/strong> celebrated its promotion. Its chef, Rafa de Bedoya, confessed that &#8220;you have to fight for the stars day by day&#8221; and added with a laugh: &#8220;You can smell something, but until you touch it&#8230;&#8221;. There was also a very special moment when Jos\u00e9 Casta\u00f1\u00e9, from <strong data-start=\"2168\" data-end=\"2192\">La Boscana (Bellv\u00eds)<\/strong>, dedicated his achievement to his mother: &#8220;I dedicate it to my mother, who is 93 years old and is still fighting&#8221;.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/en\/current-news\/ibiza-and-formentera-are-left-without-new-michelin-stars-but-maintain-their-gastronomic-reference-points\/?swcfpc=1\">Ibiza and Formentera are left without new Michelin stars, but maintain their gastronomic reference points<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2291\" data-end=\"2743\">Recognition also reached <strong data-start=\"2327\" data-end=\"2351\">Mont Bar (Barcelona)<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2356\" data-end=\"2376\">Atelier (Madrid)<\/strong>, the new project of Ram\u00f3n Freixa, who revalidated his two stars after abandoning his previous proposal at Hotel \u00danico. But the unanimous applause of the audience came with <strong data-start=\"2548\" data-end=\"2564\">Albert Adri\u00e0<\/strong>, who took the stage visibly surprised to receive the two stars for <strong data-start=\"2649\" data-end=\"2659\">Enigma<\/strong>. &#8220;It was a surprise, I didn&#8217;t expect it,&#8221; he assured with his characteristic humility.  <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2750\" data-end=\"2830\"><strong data-start=\"2753\" data-end=\"2830\">The crop of first stars confirms the expansion of new talents<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2832\" data-end=\"3171\">In addition, the Michelin Guide celebrated one of the largest batches of recent first recognitions: <strong data-start=\"2936\" data-end=\"2955\">25 restaurants<\/strong> obtained their first star. The territorial, technical and conceptual diversity of these projects shows the consolidation of a new generation of chefs that is making strong progress in all regions of Spain. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/actualidad\/un-hotel-de-formentera-obtiene-su-primera-llave-michelin-y-entra-en-la-prestigiosa-guia\/?swcfpc=1\">A hotel in Formentera obtains its first Michelin key and enters the prestigious guide.<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3173\" data-end=\"3500\">From signature projects in the Canary Islands, Andalusia, Catalonia and the Valencian Community to proposals from Madrid and Asturias, the gastronomic map is becoming increasingly plural and sophisticated. For the French guide, these new highlights attest to the vitality of a country where culinary creativity never ceases to reinvent itself. <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3507\" data-end=\"3576\"><strong data-start=\"3510\" data-end=\"3576\">Special prizes: dining room, sommelier, young talent and mentoring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3578\" data-end=\"3905\">The gala also dedicated a space to recognize essential disciplines within the restaurant industry. The award for best head waiter went to <strong data-start=\"3715\" data-end=\"3732\">Abel Valverde<\/strong>, from Desde 1911, who vindicated the importance of his profession, stating: &#8220;It is an award that can be extended to my colleagues who have been working for years to dignify this profession&#8221;. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/actualidad\/alta-gastronomia-con-producto-de-ibiza-la-receta-del-chef-que-suena-con-la-segunda-estrella-michelin-desde-su-nuevo-ferrari\/?swcfpc=1\">Haute cuisine with products from Ibiza: the recipe of the chef who &#8220;dreams&#8221; of the second Michelin star from his new &#8216;Ferrari'&#8221;.<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3907\" data-end=\"4301\">The award for best sommelier went to <strong data-start=\"3947\" data-end=\"3963\">Luis Baselga<\/strong>, from Smoked Room, who dedicated his award to Massimiliano Delle Vedove: &#8220;because without him I wouldn&#8217;t be here&#8221;. Young talent took center stage with the <strong data-start=\"4107\" data-end=\"4127\">Young Chef Award<\/strong>, which went to Juan Carlos Garc\u00eda (32 years old), from Vandelvira (Baeza).
