Background
About Plats
The Story
Chef Xavier Llanos, trained at the Hofmann school, opened Plats together with maître Àngels Calleja in November 2005. The restaurant sits on a quiet street in central Cornellà de Llobregat and has built a loyal following for its creative take on Catalan market cooking.
The Cuisine
Plats describes its cooking as 'cuina creativa de mercat', creative market cuisine built on a foundation of traditional Catalan recipes, reworked with imagination and a contemporary eye. The menu changes weekly based on what Llanos finds at La Boqueria, the Mercat de Sant Ildefons and local Cornellà producers such as Bodegas Guzmán.
The Team
Xavier Llanos runs the kitchen; Àngels Calleja leads the dining room. The small team has stayed together since opening in 2005, which shows in the consistency of the service and the close relationships with suppliers.
