On 26 November, one of the most important gastronomic events took place in Murcia: the Stars Gala. The finest chefs from Spain and Andorra gathered in the vibrant city to discover the outstanding gastronomic experiences the peninsula will offer in the coming year.
This accolade is to a chef what an Oscar for Best Picture is to a film director. That is why we are immensely proud that so many of these Stars shine at our Partner Restaurants.
Would you like to know which ones shone at this year's edition? Read on.

The gala began with recognition of the 32 restaurants that earned their First Star this year, of which 13 are Partner Restaurants:

Our Restaurants Shine Again
The numbers speak for themselves. 13 of the 32 new Stars and 2 of the 3 new Two-Star restaurants trust us to manage their sales and delight their diners. Furthermore, 10 of the Three-Star Restaurants manage their reservations with CoverManager. In other words, more than half of the most sought-after gastronomic experiences in Spain begin with a reservation on CoverManager.
Working with top restaurants is part of our DNA. It motivates us to give our very best and rise to the level of the finest. And how do we give one hundred percent? By distributing 80% passion and 20% positive drive.
Once again, congratulations to our Partner Restaurants. Although the year is not quite over yet, we would like to wish you a 2025 filled with joy over your Stars.
