Background
About Coure
The Story
Coure, meaning 'to cook' in Catalan, opened in 2008 in a quiet passage in Barcelona's Sant Gervasi neighbourhood. Chef Albert Ventura, who trained at Jean Luc Figueras and collaborated with Joan Roca of El Celler de Can Roca, built the restaurant around a philosophy of timeless, technique-driven cooking with seasonal market produce. The Repsol Guide awarded two Soles, and Ventura is a member of Los 7 Magnificos, a collective of leading Spanish chefs. Over nearly two decades, Coure has maintained a consistent reputation, anchored by two dining spaces: the casual ground-floor bar La Barra, and the more formal basement dining room.
The Cuisine
Ventura's cooking is modern Catalan gastronomy that respects tradition while pushing technique. The restaurant operates two distinct dining experiences: La Barra, a ground-floor bar seating 15 diners with its own more casual menu (tasting menu around €35), and the Sala, an elegant basement dining room offering a longer tasting menu around €50–60. The a la carte features signature preparations such as roast pigeon, truffled cannelloni, steak tartare, croquettes, and refined vegetable courses. The kitchen leans on seasonal market produce and product-first sourcing rather than gimmick.
The Team
Chef Albert Ventura leads the kitchen and is the creative force behind Coure. His training spans Jean Luc Figueras and a collaboration with Joan Roca at El Celler de Can Roca, experience that informs his precise, product-driven approach. As a member of Los 7 Magnificos, Ventura is recognised among Spain's leading chefs. The front-of-house team delivers polished, attentive service in both the bar and dining room settings.
