Celler de Can Roca in Girona, chosen as the 2nd best rest of the world ... Cafeteria

Recently selected as the second best restaurant

on the prestigious list of S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants

, the Celler de Can Roca

was renovated a few years ago Sandra Tarruella

and

Isabel López, in collaboration with Trenchs Ricard. The architectural project was once nearly as acclaimed as the restaurant. If you still do not know the essential Celler de Can Roca in Girona, we invite you to discover.

Founded by three brothers

Roca in 1986, the now world renowned restaurant began in a first establishment in a townhouse near the family home. In 1992, the owners acquired the Torre de Can Sunyer

, where they had held until then banquet style meals.

The transfer to the Tower, where he is now the new Celler de Can Roca, was not only a physical and architectural, but the three brothers were then a new dimension to dining he had been a popular establishment. A move towards haute cuisine that has taken to achieve a recognized place among the best restaurants in the world.

Once located in the Torre de Can Sunyer, dating from 1911, the restaurant was expanded twice: in 1994, built
great

triangular room with open views to the street and in 1999 a new porch was installed in the rear garden. The two new volumes were connected the old tower through the original front porch of the old house.

The architectural project took number three as a definition of some of its characteristic features: the new restaurant run by three brothers Roca would have 3 main buildings (the Tower, the new room and the porch), three gardens and a spectacular new triangular floor great room.

We sought to connect all new spaces, gardens open to both existing and create a new one inside the room. On the other hand, the new restaurant should be limited in the number of guests, and should conform the most exquisite cuisine. The space should be modern, but cozy, relaxed and intimate.

From the street, a new

paneled facade hides an access via a narrow ramp and vegetation cover leading to a large open space.

This

first garden welcomes visitors so solemn a dialogue between vegetation and the pavement, between the facade of the old tower and the new buildings. In the second garden is home to the garden of herbs, hidden behind the tower, while the third, marking a minimalist approach has been at the center of the new dining room.

The

reception is located in the old entrance to the Tower, a white space heating in the roughness contrast of the original ceiling in Catalan volta new lacquered walls. Here comes the herb garden located behind the tower, like a garden that supplies the kitchen.

And next to it, the new winery also: four volumes covered with old wood that simulate a dance of boxes wine, and house a selection acclaimed winemaking.

The kitchen

lies in the heart of the ancient tower, and consists of a technical space in black and stainless steel. Designed by Joaquim Casademont specialist art technology, including details as necessary to fine cuisine as a direct fire on the grill, refrigerator with temperature and humidity control, specialized refrigerated cabinets or freezers.

All volumes are united as if it were a single space. This union serves the space character: the great hall

, a triangular glass box punctured by a minimal garden courtyard in the center, and siding with wooden slats that the isolated part of the street. The room layout to get so intimate to each table, while she is visually united whole. Traffic around the dining room is perfectly arranged in a circular fashion.
