The finalists must produce a stunning dish before travelling to San Sebastian in Spain.

Cookery competition. The four finalists must produce a stunning dish before one is sent home. The remaining three travel to San Sebastian in Spain to cook for Andoni Luis Aduriz.

The four remaining finalists battle it out to make it to the last three and the chance go on the trip of a lifetime to cook in one of the world's most creative restaurants. Their journey begins in the MasterChef kitchen, where they have two hours to simply cook a stunning plate of food for the judges. Nothing but their greatest dish will be good enough as after tasting the dishes, one chef will be sent home. 
 
The remaining three finalists travel to one of Europe's food capitals - San Sebastian in Spain. In its surrounding hills sits a food mecca, Mugaritz, and one of the most influential chefs of a generation, Andoni Luis Aduriz. 
 
The final three have a rare opportunity to spend two days at this world-renowned restaurant, learning from Andoni and his team. First, they get to grips with his food philosophy with a masterclass. It is vital the chefs take in as much as possible, because next they must prepare a Mugaritz inspired dish for Andoni himself. To pile on the pressure, if the chefs' dishes are strong enough, for the first time ever, Andoni has agreed to put them on the tasting menu at the lunchtime service the following day. 

The finalists return the next day to face the most nervewrecking challenge of their careers so far, when Andoni allows them to run service, cooking his nine course tasting menu for specially invited guests and the three MasterChef judges. Cooking at a level they have never come close to before, it is a tough ask for the three chefs. They need to impress.
