The cuisine served by the restaurant is traditional Catalan, but with twists to the extent that the Michelin Guide describes it as “creative”. The restaurant has a large wine cellar with some 60,000 bottles. Dishes served include those based on perfumes, and with unusual presentations such as caramelised olives served on a bonsai tree.
El Celler de Can Roca was founded in 1986 by the Roca brothers next to their family’s main restaurant Can Roca which had been open on the site since 1967.[2] The oldest brother, Joan Roca is the head chef; Josep Roca, the middle brother, is the sommelier, and the youngest brother, Jordi Roca, is in charge of desserts.[3] Because of their work at the restaurant, the brothers have appeared at Harvard University in the United States as part of the Science and Cooking program.
