Three Michelin stars

Awarded in the Michelin Guide Spain 2024. · 2024

50BEST

The World’s 50 Best Restaurants

Ranked No. 1 in 2024. · 2024

Barcelona’s leading expression of avant-garde tasting-menu dining. Three elBulli alumni combine technical invention with Mediterranean flavours, delivering meals that are playful in presentation and exceptionally disciplined in execution.

The Story

Origin

Opened in December 2014 by three chefs who had worked together in senior positions at elBulli. It followed their first joint restaurant, Compartir, in Cadaqués.

Philosophy

Treat experimentation as a means of creating pleasure rather than an end in itself.

Why Important

An essential reference for understanding how Barcelona’s experimental cooking evolved after elBulli. Its first-place ranking in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2024 brought that influence to a wider international audience.

Differentiation

A three-chef creative partnership sustains a research-led approach with a direct lineage to elBulli.

Food Philosophy

Mediterranean ingredients and familiar flavour combinations become the basis for new textures, unexpected temperatures and carefully staged reveals.

Guest Experience

An extended tasting menu moves between concentrated bites, tableside explanations and moments of surprise.

Design Philosophy

Ceramics and references to the Mediterranean connect an experimental restaurant to a recognisable local material culture.

Design & Architecture

Lighting

A contrast between the more enclosed entrance sequence and the brighter main dining area

Materials

Ceramic tile, terracotta and wood

Architecture

An urban restaurant organised as a progression from the entrance through the kitchen area to the main dining room.

Design Language

Contemporary Mediterranean with expressive ceramic detailing

Interior Design

El Equipo Creativo uses contrasting spaces and ceramic surfaces to connect the city setting with a lighter Mediterranean atmosphere.
