Spanish restaurant named the best in the world by TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor just revealed its 'Travellers' Choice Restaurants for 2016' and it’s in Spain.

A three-star Michelin eatery just outside the town of San Sebastian in Larste that is named after the chef, Martin Barsategui, beat all of the other restaurants in the world for the top spot.

It’s the second time the Spanish bistro, which serves modern Spanish cuisine, has won.
