About Tejada Mar
The Story
Tejada Mar is the beachfront restaurant from chef Romain Fornell, born in Toulouse in 1976 and trained under Michel Sarran and Alain Ducasse. In 2001, at age 24, he became the youngest chef in Europe to earn a Michelin star at his restaurant Chaldette in France. He moved to Barcelona and opened Caelis in 2004, earning a Michelin star in 2005 -- the only French chef to hold stars in both France and Spain. With associate Hugues de Montfalcon, he founded the Gout Rouge group, which now encompasses around nine restaurants in Spain and three in France. Tejada Mar is the marine counterpart of Casa Tejada.
