The story

L'Antic Molí – Michelin-Starred Modern Cuisine in Ulldecona, Spain

A Michelin-Starred Ode to the Delta de l'Ebre

In Ulldecona, at the foot of the Sénia River, L'Antic Molí offers a modern cuisine experience that is deeply rooted in its territory. Chef Vicent Guimerà, who has led the kitchen since 2004, crafts a menu that draws directly from the surrounding landscape—the rice fields, sea, and mountains of the Delta de l'Ebre. The restaurant’s Michelin star is a testament to this singular vision, where tradition and innovation meet on every plate.

Guimerà’s philosophy is one of essential truth: “La cuina no necessita artificis, només veritat” (Cuisine needs no artifice, only truth). This commitment to authenticity is supported by a seven-thousand-square-metre regenerative garden, which respects the cycles of the earth and nourishes a kitchen with deep roots. The result is a tasting menu that evolves with the seasons, featuring dishes like faves tendres i escamarlà (broad beans and langoustine) or calamar i sobrassada vegetal (squid and vegetable sobrassada).

L'Antic Molí is more than a restaurant; it is a space with soul. The contemporary architecture is filled with natural light and offers a direct connection to the garden and landscape. Whether dining in the main gastronomic space, the more casual bistrot, or at one of the private event areas, the experience is defined by proximity, beauty, and an attention to detail that honours the work of local artisans alongside the precision of modern techniques.
