Background
About AURT
The Story
AURT was born in 2019 as chef Artur Martinez's landing in Barcelona after years at his family's restaurant Capritx in Terrassa. The name is a Catalan term meaning to collide briskly, reflecting Martinez's vision of his arrival in Barcelona as a collision of culinary traditions. The restaurant originally opened in the lobby of the Hilton Diagonal Mar hotel, where it earned a Michelin star and two Repsol Soles. In early 2026, AURT relocated to a new central Barcelona location for a more intimate and immersive experience.
The Cuisine
The kitchen centres on a 14-16 course tasting menu (145 EUR) rooted in the recovery of local Catalan culinary heritage, with natural processes and an alternative vision of techniques and foods. All dishes are prepared at the diner's table in a teppanyaki-bar format.
The Team
Artur Martinez leads the kitchen. He comes from a family that has run the bar El Buen Gusto and restaurant Capritx in Terrassa since 1952.
