About
Sergi de Meià is one of the most talented and versatile chefs in Catalunya. After plying his trade at Michelin star restaurants he took over the kitchen at Monvinic for 6 years making it a truly international destination for food and wine. Now, he takes his philosophy into his own house up on Carrer Arribau, paired with a fantastic front of house staff. His zeal for kilometre 0 products, and local local local for every part of your dining experience makes this one of the more authentic Catalan experiences – with his artistic flair – in Barcelona.
Wine
It’s nothing but local wines here. The selection of wines depends on what Agusti (his somm and front of house) and him decide is best for their tasting menu which rotates depending on what Sergi wants to share. Typically it changes frequently. Sometimes daily. Appearing has been selections from Terra Alta, Priorat, Penedes, and Emporda (among other appellations) and typically it will be something you probably aren’t very familiar with, critically acclaimed and fantastic.
Cuisine
Chef Sergi takes inspiration from his international experience and applies it to local Catalan products. Local chicken, lamb, beef and pork make the menu, plus some interesting and innovative combinations, including chick peas used in a dessert offering, plus many other brilliant combinations means you will not have a let down. There are small, medium and large tasting menus, with the large tasting menu having 12 courses with the corresponding wine selections.
Atmosphere
The combination of classic Catalan architectural elements with a clean and modern colour and interior design palate is a not only a reflection of Chef Sergi’s tastes, but the personification of his desire to combine classic ingredients with modern sensibilities matches the interior design combination and is aligned philosophically from top to bottom. The service is absolutely impeccable every time, but you won’t feel stuffy, you’ll feel warmed and welcomed. You’ll be welcomed into his family.
Secret Tip(s)
The breakfast, where you might find his mum coming in and greeting guests, is a great option from the typical croissant and coffee world, plus the 20€ lunch menu is a great way to enjoy your midday experience.
