About Carnal Steakhouse
The Story
Carnal Steakhouse was founded by Uruguayan chef Joaquin Ignacio Sanchez in Barcelona's Eixample district. His philosophy is simple: 'In art as in cooking, instinct is enough.' The restaurant has quickly become one of Barcelona's most popular steakhouses, earning a listing in the Repsol Guide.
The Cuisine
The kitchen is driven by three elements: fire, smoke, and embers. The wood-fire grill is the heart of the operation, cooking premium cuts from around the world. The in-house dry-aging fridge showcases aged steaks, and the menu ranges from Rubia Gallega bone-in ribeye to Japanese Wagyu A5. Beyond beef, expect octopus a la brasa, bone marrow with Beluga caviar, and creative starters like Black Angus cheek croquettes.
The Team
Chef Joaquin Ignacio Sanchez, originally from Uruguay, leads the kitchen with instinct and precision. He emphasises that a great restaurant requires a great team, and his staff works as a family to deliver attentive, personal service in a warm, immersive setting.
