Background
About Darvaza
The Story
Darvaza is part of Grupo 9Reinas, a Barcelona restaurant group founded around 2010 by a group of Argentine friends who initially opened 9Reinas on Carrer de València. Named after the Darvaza gas crater in Turkmenistan, a natural flame crater burning continuously since 1971, known as the Door to Hell, the restaurant occupies over 500 square metres in L'Eixample with an open kitchen centred on wood-fired ovens and grills. The concept represents the group's evolution from Argentine cuisine into a broader global grill format.
The Cuisine
Chef Adrián Gerardi leads a kitchen focused on global ember cooking with international beef cuts matched to their regional origin. The menu features bone-in ribeye (9.20 EUR/100g), Angus Tomahawk (9.40 EUR/100g), Black Angus ribeye (65 EUR), wood oven rice dishes including red prawn rice (29 EUR/person, min. 2) and lobster rice (46 EUR/person, min. 2), grilled monkfish (46 EUR), buffalo burrata (17 EUR), and Katsu Sando (21 EUR). Wines curated around volcanic and clay soils. Around 55 EUR per person without drinks.
The Team
Chef Adrián Gerardi leads the culinary concept. Darvaza is part of Grupo 9Reinas, which operates seven restaurant concepts in Barcelona including 9Reinas (3 locations), Casa Blava, Candela en Rama, and Zendra.
