Background
About A Pluma Santaló
The Story
A Pluma is chef Eugeni de Diego's gourmet take on the Catalan rotisserie. A former elBulli cook and ex-director of the Bulli Lab, he opened the concept to prove that pollo a l'ast, the Sunday staple of every Catalan family, deserves the same technique and ingredient obsession as fine dining. The Santaló location on the edge of Sant Gervasi was the first of several A Pluma rotisseries around Barcelona.
The Cuisine
The menu is deliberately short: Catalan yellow chicken (pollastre groc) macerated in marinades like Mediterranean herbs, Cajun, chimichurri or red curry, slow-roasted on the spit for around 90 minutes. It arrives with roasting-fat bravas, escalivada, croquetes, Russian salad, and cardinal macaroni, alongside a handful of starters and simple desserts. Expect €15-30 per person.
The Team
Eugeni de Diego leads the kitchen, bringing elBulli-era technique to an everyday rotisserie format. The team focuses on a small number of dishes executed precisely, with sauces and sides made in-house from scratch.
