The story
BionBo in Girona anchors its modern cuisine in a deliberate blend of regional tradition and worldwide techniques. Chef Xavier Aguado opened the doors in 2016 with a clear directive to place avant-garde cooking alongside prebiotic nutrition. Every plate begins with direct partnerships among local growers who supply seasonal vegetables. The Cuina amb colors project further explores how plant compounds support intestinal health while building flavor.
The kitchen structures its service around a curated tasting menu where color and texture dictate every course. Aguado studies the phytochemical profiles of fruits and greens, arranging them so visual appeal aligns with digestive wellness across the full cooking approach. Guests may also request the blind menu format, which removes sight entirely while serving eight or ten small plates. Staff guide diners through each bite, allowing taste and aroma to take precedence over presentation.
What began as a straightforward dining room now operates as a multidisciplinary hub that welcomes artists and educators alongside regular patrons. The interior layout supports both intimate dinners and larger cultural gatherings throughout the week. A recent three radish rating from the We’re Smart Green Guide highlights how seriously the team treats sustainable sourcing and nutritional transparency. Evening service runs Wednesday through Saturday starting at twenty thirty, drawing consistent crowds eager for honest, ingredient driven culinary vision.
