Cuisine, sourcing & exceptional ingredients

Our cuisine is rooted in Spanish and Catalan traditions, shaped by French technique, and expressed through a modern European approach — enhanced by subtle influences from Japanese, Asian, Oriental, and South American cuisines. We work closely with leading Catalan producers and selected Spanish and international suppliers, sourcing exceptional seafood, meats, and seasonal produce, with the possibility to elevate each experience through ingredients such as fresh truffles, caviar, and rare specialty products.

Service, beverages & aesthetic detail

Each experience is personally designed by Chef Matej Jaraba and his team, bringing together professional service staff, cocktail and bar programs, bespoke wine pairings, and signature tableware crafted by the same ceramicist supplying Michelin-level restaurants. From the first aperitif to the final course, every element is orchestrated to create a composed, effortless, and memorable dining atmosphere.
