Background
About Amaica
The Story
Amaica takes its name from the Basque word for eleven, a nod to the restaurant's address at Bertrand i Serra 11 and to chef Carlos Salvador's Basque roots. The project pairs Salvador in the kitchen with maître David Grau in the dining room, offering a personal, modern reading of traditional cuisine at accessible prices in upper Barcelona.
The Cuisine
The kitchen is built around a single night tasting menu that rotates monthly with the market, featuring around eleven original dishes. Flavour combinations lean bold and cross-referential, Catalan pantry staples such as Santa Pau beans, red mullet and sobrasada sit alongside pil pil, sabayón al jerez and Sichuan accents. Traditional dishes are given a personal, modern treatment rather than straight reproduction.
The Team
Chef Carlos Salvador trained at Mugaritz, Alkimia and Gresca before opening Amaica. Front of house is run by maître David Grau. Together they focus on a small dining room, a pleasant terrace, and a weekly-to-monthly shifting menu that keeps the format tight and the sourcing seasonal.
