Background
About Atempo
The Story
Atempo opened in 2021 in the Eixample, marking a new chapter for celebrity chef Jordi Cruz after concluding his tenure at a historic fortress in Sant Julia de Ramis. The Repsol Guide describes the restaurant as embodying the symbiosis of perfectionism and avant-gardism that defines Cruz's approach. The move to Barcelona brought his vision to a purpose-built urban setting, where Japanese cherry trees and natural vegetation create small natural landscapes throughout the dining room. Within its first years, Atempo earned both a Michelin star and a Repsol Sol.
The Cuisine
Atempo offers two tasting menus -- Atempo (150 EUR) and Gran Atempo (185 EUR) -- alongside a full a la carte selection. The Michelin Guide highlights dishes like Galician sea urchin with carabinero tartare and Ossetra caviar, and hare royale with black garlic emulsion. Each course is finished tableside by a different cook, creating a dynamic rhythm to the meal. The Repsol Guide notes a kitchen rooted in creativity and classicism -- noisette butter, goose royale, pigeon -- while the wine cellar, described by as a bodega sin fin, is extensive.
The Team
The restaurant operates under the creative direction of Jordi Cruz, one of Spain's most recognized chefs. Day-to-day kitchen operations are led by head chef Inaki Aldrey, who executes Cruz's vision during service. Victor Sillero oversees the dining room, which out of 10 for service. The tableside finishing format means diners interact with multiple members of the kitchen team throughout their meal.
