Background
About Lasarte
The Story
Lasarte opened in 2006 as Martín Berasategui's culinary outpost in Barcelona, named after the Basque town of Lasarte-Oria where his flagship restaurant holds three Michelin stars of its own. Paolo Casagrande, born in Susegana in Italy's Veneto region, was appointed head chef in 2012 after a decade in Berasategui's kitchens, including years leading the two-Michelin-star M.B. at the Ritz-Carlton Abama in Tenerife. Under Casagrande, Lasarte earned its third Michelin star in 2017, making it the first restaurant in Barcelona to achieve that distinction in the modern era. Repsol describes the partnership as an 'exceptional team' that unites the Basque Country, Catalonia, and Italy on a single plate.
The Cuisine
The kitchen bridges Berasategui's Basque precision with Casagrande's Italian sensibility and Catalan seasonal produce. Both à la carte dishes and tasting menus are offered, a rarity among three-star restaurants. Michelin describes the format as 'à la carte and set menu options' centred on 'exquisite dishes first conceived by his mentor' that Casagrande presents 'in a more avant-garde setting.' Signature dishes include the carbonara with fine herbs, langoustine, Iberian pork jowl, and sherry-cured egg yolk; and the roasted sea bream with whelk and cockle ragout in spider crab stock. The wine cellar holds over 800 references, overseen by Joan Carles Ibáñez.
The Team
Paolo Casagrande leads the kitchen with what ' Joan Carles Ibáñez, who previously spent 20 years at Santi Santamaría's Racó de Can Fabes (Catalonia's first three-Michelin-star restaurant), directs the dining room and wine service, winning the Michelin Guide's Best Service Award in 2023. Xavi Donnay runs the pastry kitchen and was named Best Pastry Chef in the World at The Best Chef Awards 2020. Antonio Coelho serves as maître d'.
