Background
About RíasKru
The Story
RíasKru is the fusion of two Barcelona dining institutions: Rías de Galicia, a classic Galician marisquería with over 30 years of history, and Espai KRU, a creative seafood space. The two have unified under one roof, combining the traditional shellfish and fish of Rías de Galicia with the modern, Japanese-inspired preparations of Espai KRU. Repsol calls it 'one of Barcelona's clearest references for first-rate shellfish and fish, combining the tradition of a long-established house with a proposal that modernises the classic marisquería.'
The Cuisine
The menu bridges classic Galician marisquería with Japanese-inspired raw cuisine. Michelin highlights this as 'a fusion of two culinary themes on a single menu: classic Galician cooking featuring superb fish and seafood, and Japanese-inspired cuisine with a focus on raw dishes including caviar specialities.' Signature dishes include smoked anchovies with Manchego cheese and Galician goose barnacles (percebes) from Roncudo en Corme, Laxe, and Cedeira. Rice dishes, nigiri, tartares, and premium whole fish round out the offering.
The Team
Chef Robert Gelonch leads the kitchen, driving the balance between Galician tradition and contemporary technique. Repsol praises the 'professional dining room team and a deeply rooted culture of hospitality, the fruit of decades in the trade.' The wine cellar is described by Repsol as outstanding.
