A woman from Malaga, best dining room manager in a Spanish restaurant

Málaga continues to shine and demonstrate to all of Spain the high level of both its cuisine and the service provided by its professionals. Indeed, this is being proven during Madrid Fusion, an international gastronomy summit where the best professionals in the sector are recognized.

The latest among them is Málaga native Andrea Martín, from the restaurant Tragatá Málaga, who has won the award for the best head of dining room in Spain. This is the third recognition for the province this Wednesday, as Boho Club has been distinguished for offering the best hotel breakfast and Botánica for the best dish with Tenerife mojo.

Martín received the Sala Revelación award, a prize that is celebrating its second edition this year and aims to recognize and highlight the work done by young professionals who stand out in the dining rooms of Spain's most prominent restaurants.

Martín manages the dining room of the most casual restaurant of chef Benito Gómez, who also owns an elder sibling in Ronda. The chef is also the owner of Bardal, which boasts a Michelin star, and where the award-winner also worked.

The final of this award had a Málaga stamp, as among the six finalists was another local contender: Pilar Navajas, from La Milla. Other contenders for the award included Camino Estrada, from the restaurant Ansils (Huesca); Martín Juncal, from Ca l'Enric (Girona); Eli Gomes, from Grupo Manero (Alicante and Madrid); and Felicia Guerra, from Ausiàs (Pedreguer, Alicante).

This is the third award for Málaga today, as the Marbella resort Boho Club has been distinguished with the 'Best Hotel Breakfast' award for its buffet where local products and quality raw materials prevail.

Additionally, chef Javier Rayón from the restaurant Botánica has won the award for the best dish with Tenerife mojo harmonized with Tenerife wines for a dish of cod, lemon gazpachuelo, and mojo paired with the wine 1,400 m from Viña Gómez (DO Valle de Güímar).
