The story
L'Antiquari Gastronòmic is a family-run project born from the passion of chef Yordi Martínez Ruiz and maître and sommelier Lara Cerlini. Located on a quiet street in Barcelona's emblematic Gràcia neighbourhood, the restaurant offers an exclusive 15-course tasting menu that reimagines traditional recipes with a contemporary, technical, and emotional vision. The dining room seats just fourteen guests, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere that feels both exclusive and welcoming.
Chef Yordi Martínez Ruiz brings over fifteen years of experience to the kitchen. His cooking draws inspiration from his grandmother's recipes and the techniques of great chefs, aiming to create a space of disconnection and liberation for his guests. The menu is described as a sensory journey where surprise and imagination take centre stage. Each dish transforms quality ingredients into creations that balance flavour, presentation, and originality. The menu evolves with the seasons, offering dishes like brioche with truffle, corn with shiitake and egg yolk, and a tiramisu with eel and white asparagus.
The wine selection, curated by Lara Cerlini, features over 150 references. The approach is playful and close, with wines chosen for their authenticity—from small vineyards in Penedès to historic houses in Burgundy—each selected to complement the tasting menu and create a complete experience.
In 2025, L'Antiquari Gastronòmic was recommended by the Michelin Guide, a recognition that cements its place among Barcelona's most notable dining experiences. The restaurant was also named number one in Barcelona and all of Spain on The Fork in 2024, confirming its growing reputation among diners and critics. This tasting menu restaurant in Barcelona offers a unique experience rooted in the city's most authentic neighbourhood.
