Biography
Early years
Pons was born in Corbera de Llobregat. He trained under Jordi Cruz — the Catalan chef behind ABaC, Àngle, Atempo, and Ten's — and built early experience in Michelin-starred kitchens before launching his own restaurant.
Career
In 2023 Pons opened Incorrecte on Carrer Cerignola in Barcelona's zona alta. He was under thirty at the time. The restaurant is built around what Pons calls 'conceptual informality' — fine-dining technique applied to updated classic Catalan dishes, in a dining room (designed by his father) that uses vibrant red as a visual reference to Barcelona. Incorrecte is in the Michelin Guide selection and runs a tasting menu at €68, with wine pairing (€32) or food pairing (€45) options.
Philosophy
Pons describes Incorrecte as a return to origins — but 'not from nostalgia, from sense.' The cooking takes traditional Catalan recipes and revises them at fine-dining level, but the format is deliberately informal: 'freedom of expression that allows diners to enjoy themselves without the constraints of protocols.'
