When three of the world’s most influential chefs walk into a kitchen, expectations run high. At Disfrutar in Barcelona, Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch, and Mateu Casañas have built a restaurant that not only earned three Michelin stars but also reached the pinnacle of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, claiming the No. 1 spot. Their cooking, rooted in the radical creativity of elBulli, has become synonymous with surprise, play, and pushing the edges of what fine dining can be.
That same spirit thrives at minibar in Washington, D.C., the jewel of José Andrés’s restaurant group. A two-Michelin-starred temple of experimentation, minibar is where Andrés—himself an alum of elBulli—channels the wonder and theatricality of modernist cuisine into a deeply personal American stage.
