Biography

Early years

Pérez de Rozas trained in Catalan kitchens before launching Berbena as a small, informal restaurant in Gràcia.

Career

Pérez de Rozas is chef-owner of Berbena on Carrer de Minerva in la Vila de Gràcia, where he leads the kitchen alongside his two long-standing collaborators Joaquín Indart and Luis Sánchez. The restaurant has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in the 2026 Spain guide and is known as much for its small-plate seasonal cooking as for its dedicated wine programme: more than 2,000 references, a separate sommelier and wine-contact email, and a policy asking guests not to wear perfume out of respect for the wines.

Philosophy

Pérez de Rozas describes the cuisine at Berbena as simple but considered: seasonal Mediterranean ingredients are the starting point, with subtle Asian and South American accents layered in. The restaurant is intentionally diminutive and unpretentious, the name pays homage to Catalonia's traditional 'berbena' festivals.
