The story
In the heart of Reus, VÍTRIC Taverna Gastronòmica reimagines the classic taverna as a stage for contemporary cooking. The restaurant has earned a place in the Michelin guide, recognized for its thoughtful, ingredient-driven approach.
The kitchen is led by chefs Xavier De Juan and Claudia Palou. Xavier brings experience from Michelin-starred kitchens, while Claudia’s passion for gastronomy is evident in every plate. Together, they create dishes that are inventive yet grounded, always returning to the foundations of Catalan cuisine.
VÍTRIC offers a menu that balances surprise with familiarity. The chefs describe their food as “creative interpretations that never lose the roots of Catalan cooking.” Diners can choose from a lunch menu, a group menu, or the full à la carte experience. The space itself feels like a proper taverna—warm, unpretentious, and focused on the pleasure of eating well. The restaurant’s Instagram feed, filled with vivid images of their beautifully plated dishes, confirms that here, food is made to be enjoyed by all the senses.
