El Corte Inglés becomes the first department store with a Michelin star

What: El Corte Inglés has become the first department store in the world to get a Michelin star thanks to chef Dabiz Muñoz.

Why it is important: Just six months after opening RavioXO in El Corte Inglés’ Gourmet Experience at its Castellana’s location, the restaurant earned its first Michelin star awarded to chef Dabiz Muñoz who started working with the department store group 10 years ago.

The new Michelin star in Madrid is the second restaurant that chef Dabiz Muñoz has opened inside an El Corte Inglés store. A new StreetXO location is currently under construction and will open in a new location in the coming weeks.
