Disfrutar, Barcelona laboratory exclusive visit. Disfrutar opened since December 2014, was born after years of intense work in elBulli, where Mateu Casañas, Oriol Castro and Eduard Xatruch met and trained, and after referring the work done in Compartir inaugurated in April 2012 in Cadaqués.
Disfrutar is not a replica of Compartir, but they are joined by inherent aspects that go with the way of being of the three chefs and owners: a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere; and an attentive service, close and relaxed, with a great human team headed in the kitchen by Nil, Antonio and Francesca, and in the dining room by Toni, Patricia, Rubén and Vicente.
In Barcelona, the gastronomic offer revolves around the tasting menu, with a cuisine that is clearly avant-garde and where the dishes stand out for their great personality, markedly Mediterranean. In short, a restaurant with daring, fun and modern cuisine in search of "taste" as the main premise.
What we strive to do as professional chefs is create something new every single day
This technique is magic to us
Why Because you can enjoy a bread with a brioche-like texture
yet filled with a fresh ingredient like caviar and fresh cream
Two Grand Classics are served along with a non-alcoholic cocktail
Two more candies appear
Here are these dumplings
We're continuing with our macaroni
Being successful is extremely difficult If
you're aiming to succeed in the kitchen it's
better to do something else Because achieving success in the kitchen is incredibly hard
What we aim to do is treat the dish with the utmost respect
And if there's a dish featuring caviar
You have to taste it and say okay this is caviar
And then it has to better than caviar
It's very important that you be someone who eats a lot
We work professionally to create new things
And if there's someone who knows a lot
about gastronomy they can see that here at this hotel we're doing something new
But if there's someone who comes here to celebrate a birthday for
instance and it's their first time at a fine dining restaurant
It must be a lot of fun
You need to understand that it's not
about showing up and saying no I'm just
going to do a birbe You have to work hard learn a lot and study extensively
While your friends are at a party you're working It's not a job
where you work eight hours a day five days a week and then go home
And you're at home on the weekend You'll work
over the weekend You'll
work if you have many hours
And if you want to make a kitchen hood you need to install your light
