Background
About Xavier Pellicer
The Story
Xavier Pellicer is a champion of what is known as the healthy kitchen, placing biodynamic and locally sourced organic produce from small-scale producers at the heart of every dish. Named Best Vegetable Restaurant in the World by the We're Smart Green Guide in 2018, the restaurant has earned 2 Repsol Soles and Michelin Selected status for its pioneering approach to green gastronomy. Located just metres from Gaudi's La Pedrera in Barcelona's Eixample, it occupies an elegant space with warm tones, natural materials, and a 60-seat capacity.
The Cuisine
The kitchen pursues a balance between the pleasure of eating and the wellbeing of digestion. Every tasting menu is offered in three versions, vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore, a flexibility rarely found at this level. The 8-course menu (€105) and 5-course menu (€85) showcase seasonal, organic, locally sourced vegetables as the star, with the grill, wok, and spices as essential pillars. An à la carte selection is available at lunch only (Wednesday–Sunday). The wine list centres on biodynamic, organic, and natural references, coherent with the kitchen's philosophy.
The Team
Chef Xavier Pellicer leads both the kitchen and the restaurant's philosophy. His career-long dedication to vegetable-forward cooking and biodynamic sourcing defines every aspect of the experience. Michelin highlights the open kitchen behind the bar counter where guests can interact with the chefs. The restaurant also features El Menjador, a separate multi-functional dining room for private events.
