Meet Maria Acosta
About Me
I’m Maria Acosta, a proud Puerto Rican currently pursuing my Master’s in Luxury Business Management at Regent’s University London. My journey with Michelin dining began early, sparked by family traditions and a reverence for culinary artistry. But it wasn’t until my late teens that I began to shape that passion into something more purposeful—merging my academic background in journalism with a lifelong love for storytelling and a desire to experience the world’s finest restaurants.
Only The Best by Maria is a curated journal of those experiences: honest, discerning, and written with intent. I receive no payment for my reviews, nor am I affiliated with any fine dining rating entities. This space exists solely to share the pleasure these establishments have brought me and to spark a sense of discovery in others. If you’re planning your next culinary adventure, I hope my words offer both guidance and a gentle nudge toward curiosity.

Luxury, to me, is not just about where you dine — it’s how it makes you feel, and the stories you carry home.
