Eloy Bayarri is the chef of Aüc Bar, the Sant Gervasi Catalan tapas project he opened with Joan Martínez (ex-Inopia) and the broader Aüc team. The restaurant is in the Michelin Guide selection, and Bayarri's training as Albert Ventura's right-hand at Coure shapes its product-led, counter-format register.
Biography
Early years
Bayarri spent significant time as right-hand to Albert Ventura at Coure, one of Barcelona's most respected counter-format restaurants, before opening his own project.
Career
Bayarri commands the kitchen at Aüc Bar, the Catalan tapas project he opened in a quiet plaza in Sant Gervasi alongside Joan Martínez (ex-Albert Adrià's Inopia, ex-Lolita Bar owner), Santhosh Kumar (ex-Dos Palillos), and Mónica Gilède (ex-Lolita Taperia). The restaurant — originally planned as a macaroni project before evolving — has been received as a 'triumphant return' of the Barcelona gastrobar pioneer tradition. Aüc Bar is in the Michelin Guide selection.
Philosophy
Bayarri's cooking is rooted in the Ventura-tradition fine-tapas register — careful product, market-driven menu, served at the bar in close dialogue with diners. The format is intentionally relaxed but technical.
