Fine Dining Table—the members’ club and international gastronomic platform designed to connect the most discerning diners with top restaurants—announces the selection of restaurants and hotels (the latter included for the first time in its history) nominated for its official list. The awards will be presented during the 1st International Fine Dining Gala in El Salvador on October 17. The week will also feature the first Fine Dining Week from October 12 to 18, during which over twenty (20) four-handed dinners pairing international and local chefs will take place, making both events among the largest hospitality and gastronomy gatherings in Latin America for 2026.

San Salvador, El Salvador — August 2026 — Throughout October 2026, El Salvador will be the focal point of the Latin American gastronomic industry as host to Fine Dining Week and the Fine Dining Table International Gala. The event will gather some of the continent’s most influential restaurants, chefs, hotels, bars, entrepreneurs, specialized media, and luxury brands.

In addition to delegations from across Latin America—including Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Panama, Paraguay, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and others—representatives will attend from European nations such as Spain, Italy, France, England, and Germany, alongside Miami’s Latino community. They will arrive in San Salvador to celebrate a week dedicated to gastronomy, hospitality, wine, mixology, and wellness, establishing the country as the new gathering spot for Latin American haute cuisine.

“More than an awards ceremony, Fine Dining Table has established itself as an international platform that drives high-value gastronomic tourism and promotes destinations through hospitality excellence. Its purpose is to connect the most demanding travelers with experiences that go beyond a meal to become unforgettable memories.”

LOS FUEGOS: The distinction recognizing the complete experience, not just the cuisine

At Fine Dining Table, we do not evaluate a dish in isolation. Our international committee assesses cuisine, hospitality, service, design, identity, atmosphere, wellness, narrative, consistency, and above all, the emotion evoked in every guest.

Los Fuegos (The Fires) distinguish precisely that: excellence in the experience.

THREE FUEGOS (An indelible experience that leaves a legacy): The highest distinction. Recognizes spaces capable of stirring deep emotions where every detail forms part of a single, thoughtfully crafted narrative. They are true ambassadors of their destination who create lifelong memories.

TWO FUEGOS (An experience that justifies the trip): Distinguishes restaurants that have made excellence their core identity. Cuisine, design, service, pacing, wine, and hospitality operate in complete harmony. Destinations worthy of a journey.

ONE FUEGO (Excellence that transcends time): Recognizes establishments that are an essential part of a destination’s culinary heritage; where chefs eat, families celebrate, and travelers consistently return out of respect for the product.

RECOMMENDED (A discovery worth sharing): Projects that impress with their authenticity, personality, excellent quality-to-price ratio, and immense potential. Great local discoveries.

Special Seals

GREEN FUEGO (Mindfulness you can taste): A cross-cutting seal applicable to any Fuego level. Recognizes establishments that make sustainability central to their identity through seasonal produce, responsible sourcing, and support for local producers.

BEST WELLNESS HOTELS (Wellness as the ultimate expression of hospitality): Hotels where architecture, nature, rest, and hospitality come together with the sole purpose of ensuring every guest returns home feeling better than when they arrived.
