Mugaritz. No Bread, No Dessert

This delicious documentary and winner of the Culinary Zinema Award at the 2024 San Sebastián International Film Festival is a fascinating behind the scenes look at the prestigious two Michelin star restaurant Mugaritz, located in the Basque Country, Spain. Opened in 1998 under the management of Chef Andoni Luis Aduriz, Mugaritz has been considered one of the world's best restaurants since 2006. Striving to push the limits of gastronomy, every year the team at the Mugaritz works behind closed doors from November to April to design a completely different gastronomic offering. Every season is a leap into the unknown, as they strip everything back, starting again with a clean slate. This creative challenge is then shared with the curious diners, inviting them to open their mind and not only their mouth when they dine there. Inside the avant-garde kitchen, director Paco Plaza observes the staff and their creative processes, capturing the formation of ambitious, experimental dishes, encouraged by the Mugaritz mantra of “No bread, no dessert”.
