The restaurant of Carme Ruscalleda, the only woman in Spain with three Michelin stars, closes

The restaurant Sant Pau will close on October 27, 30 years after its opening

The restaurant Sant Pau by chef Carme Ruscalleda, with three Michelin stars, will close on October 27, 30 years after its opening.

This is explained in a statement by Carme Ruscalleda and her husband, Toni Balam , who clarify that the closure of Sant Pau does not mean that they retire , but we're going to reinvent our professional commitments and give our Studio Kitchen department more route, content and future.

In this sense, remember that in 2017 you extended the professional commitment to the Mandarin Oriental hotel from Barcelona, ​​where his son Raul Balam runs the restaurant Moments , two Michelin stars, and "motivates us the complexity of organizing the gastronomy of a hotel that works for and for the excellence&raquo ;.

Carmen Ruscalleda is the only woman in Spain with three Michelin stars (1991, 1996 and 2006) for its Sant Pau restaurant, then two more would come for Sant Pau from Tokyo, and two more for Moments , in Barcelona.&laquo ; We are happy to observe the creativity of our son Raul Balam, since 2009 at the head of the Moments restaurant, at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, Barcelona.We check his creative and free attitude satisfied, of love for an inspiring nature with which he builds new culinary speeches They arrive at the table and excite customers&raquo ;, he says in his farewell letter.

He has always worked independently, with some detachment from honors and awards.In fact, rejection the prize for the best cook of the year in the prize of the 50 best restaurants in the world.« I dislike that the medium that organizes the 50 Best considers that a female chef does not have the same value as a male chef» , I assure you then.

In an interview with Efe Earlier this year, Ruscalleda recognized that&evidently this is a challenge that costs us; it is hard and laborious to push the gastronomy of a hotel with a 24-hour service 365 days a year&raquo ;.

Now, in the letter you just made public, he says :

« We don't want to cut the umbilical cord that joins us with cooking and gastronomy.Proof of this is the collaboration in Joel Robuchon's Odyssey Restaurant at the Metropole Hotel from Monte-Carlo with a pop-up during the months of July and August for dinner service.

¡ We are not retiring! We will reinvent our professional commitments and give more travel, content and future to our department COCINA ESTUDIO.Emotioners we communicate this professional decision from the perspective of a journey of 30 years, a history of success and extraordinary experiences in front of the Sant Pau de Sant Pol de Mar&raquo ;.
