★ Michelin€€€€Japanese
Kiro translates as “homeward journey” and as such symbolises what this restaurant means to Félix Jiménez who, dressed in his spotless kimono, demonstrates the full array of skills he acquired in Japan. There, under the tutelage of maestro Yoshikawa Takamasa, he discovered the Edomae technique of preparing sushi, its tradition, the mystical meaning of its rules, and the secrets of Koshihikari rice… to create the perfect nigiri you need to remain faithful to the time-honoured Shokunin philosophy. These premises are already a place of culinary pilgrimage given that behind the front door (which is

Kiro Sushi in Logroño offers a traditional omakase-style experience led by Chef Félix Jiménez, generally receiving high praise for its authenticity. Food quality is highlighted for its precision, though some critics note the heavy focus on nigiri can feel repetitive. The ambiance is intimate and ritualistic, resembling a dimly lit izakaya. Service varies significantly; many appreciate the chef’s detailed explanations and passion, while others find him distant or curt. Value perceptions are divided: some consider it affordable for the quality, whereas others deem it overpriced compared to Michelin-starred alternatives, citing a lack of variety and poor communication during certain visits.
Suitable for diners seeking an authentic, traditional omakase experience who accept a limited menu variety.
★ Michelin€€€Fusion, Mexican
A restaurant that will delight guests both for its gourmet cuisine and the love story that is behind it. The dreams and sense of excitement evident within its walls developed relatively recently when the two chefs at the helm met while working with celebrated chef Jordi Cruz at the three-Michelin-starred ABaC. Mariana Sánchez, originally from Cuernavaca (Mexico), and Gonzalo Baquedano, who hails from Logroño, showcase their skills on an à la carte and a tasting menu (in the evening, the latter is combined with another shorter menu option) that showcase the fusion between Mexican and La Rioja c

Located in a quiet square in Elvas, Ajonegro offers fusion Mexican cuisine. Many guests praise the generous shared portions, elegant presentation, and friendly service, highlighting dishes like black garlic tenderloin, tuna, and cod croquettes. However, negative reviews cite inconsistent food quality, such as croquettes lacking flavor or having a mushy texture, along with slow pacing and service lapses like broken glass. While the atmosphere is pleasant, value is disputed, with some finding prices high relative to quality. Diners should be aware of potential inconsistencies in dish execution and service attentiveness.
Suitable for diners open to fusion cuisine who can tolerate occasional inconsistencies in food quality.
★ Michelin€€€basque, riojana, ecuatoriana
Behind Ikaro’s façade, you’ll find a strong work ethic, enthusiasm and creativity in equal measure, along with the beautiful story of a dream come true. Here, couple Carolina Sánchez (from Cuenca in Ecuador) and Iñaki Murua (from Laguardia in Spain) are two chefs who now combine their working and personal lives after meeting at the Basque Culinary Center. Their attractive yet humble cuisine will surprise guests with its high level of technique, combining their respective culinary worlds: the superb bounty of La Rioja is enhanced by the fruits and condiments of Ecuador, resulting in dishes with
