The story

Enoteca Paco Pérez: Two Michelin Star Modern Cuisine in Barcelona

The Essence of the Mediterranean

At Enoteca Paco Pérez, the spirit of the Costa Brava meets the Barcelona coastline. Chef Paco Pérez has created a restaurant within the Hotel Arts Barcelona that serves as a tribute to the origins of his ingredients. His philosophy is built on the quality of raw materials, simplicity, and elegance, resulting in an imaginative modern cuisine that draws from the sea, the garden, and the mountains.

The restaurant holds two Michelin stars, a recognition that underscores its position as a leading reference for modern cuisine in Barcelona. The menu changes with the seasons, reflecting what local producers offer at their peak. Dishes like the celebrated mini mejillones con azafrán (mussels with saffron) and espardenyes con carbonara blanca demonstrate a creative yet grounded approach to Catalan flavors.

Chef Paco Pérez

Paco Pérez brings the experience of his renowned restaurant Miramar in Llançà to Barcelona. His cooking reflects the essence of the Mediterranean, a style he has refined across multiple restaurants that together hold five Michelin stars. Enoteca Paco Pérez represents his first project outside his home kitchen, a deliberate effort to translate the coastal cuisine of the Costa Brava to the city without losing its soul.

The Dining Experience

The restaurant’s wine cellar holds around 700 references, and the team, led by sommeliers like Eduard Caldero, designs pairings that complement each dish. Saturday lunch features a special menu where rice takes center stage. The space itself, within the iconic Hotel Arts Barcelona, provides a setting where the focus remains firmly on the plate—on the balance of flavors and the integrity of the product.
