Restaurant

About

El Celler de Can Roca is a renowned restaurant located in Girona, Spain, founded by the Roca brothers—Joan, Josep, and Jordi—in 1986. It began next to their parents' restaurant, Can Roca, and later moved to a custom-built site in 2007. The restaurant is celebrated for its creative fusion of traditional Catalan cuisine with modern techniques, earning it three Michelin stars and recognition as the world's best restaurant twice. The Roca brothers each contribute uniquely: Joan as head chef, Josep as sommelier, and Jordi as pastry chef. The menu features dishes inspired by local ingredients and innovative techniques like molecular gastronomy. The restaurant's atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, with a focus on storytelling through food and ambiance. Its wine cellar holds over 60,000 bottles, and the dining experience includes unique presentations and flavors from around the world.
