Background
About Hofmann
The Story
Mey Hofmann founded the restaurant in 1983 alongside her culinary school, establishing both as pillars of Barcelona's gastronomic education. The restaurant earned its Michelin star in 2004 and has held it continuously for over two decades. The Repsol Guide notes that under Silvia Hofmann's stewardship, the restaurant faithfully and successfully preserves the essence and philosophy her mother established. The Michelin Guide highlights that several chefs trained here have gone on to win their own Michelin stars, making Hofmann a nursery for Barcelona's fine-dining talent.
The Cuisine
The kitchen produces modern fusion cuisine with strong roots in Catalan tradition. At lunch, a weekly set menu (59 EUR) and a Gastronomic Midday menu (85 EUR) are available alongside an à la carte. At dinner, three tasting menus span the range: Executive (75 EUR), Gastronomic Night (91 EUR), and Luxury (110 EUR), each with optional wine pairings. The Michelin inspector highlighted the squid tartar and sobrassada preparation, smooth lamb rice with calçots and romesco, and praised the desserts as 'always a delight.'
The Team
Silvia Hofmann oversees the restaurant's direction, continuing the philosophy established by her mother Mey Hofmann. Diego Grimberg serves as executive chef, having previously worked at Enigma. He was selected as a judge at the Wroclaw Gastronomic Grand Prix, reflecting his standing in the culinary world. The front-of-house team includes staff from the Hofmann culinary school, creating a direct pipeline between training and service.
