El Restaurant de Dalt, Sant Boi

The gastronomy of industrial estates

06.02.19

Sometimes the most surprising gastronomic discoveries can be made in the least expected places, Diversus Sant Boi is a case in point, a restaurant located within a warehouse on the periphery of Prat de lobregat in a major industrial estate. Not just one restaurant but in reality two restaurants, surrounded by factories and offices of the Polígon Industrial de les Salines on the periphery of Sant Boi, just outside Barcelona. Downstairs is a popular lunch time restaurant that caters to the workers and visitors and a gastronomic restaurant de Dalt on the first floor both are managed by the Grup Diversus.

The culinary offering at de Dalt is directed by Fernando Gutiérrez who is inspired by the geographical location on the boundary between Sant Boi and Prat de Llobregat taking advantage of the plentiful seasonal produce on its doorstep. De Dalt incudes simple and straightforward dishes that reflect Gutiérrez’ training as a chef both in Catalonia and abroad. “I like cooking with seasonal produce, ingredients that change over the year, with the many vegetables sourced from the Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat,” according to Fernando Gutiérrez, “each dish has its own history, with a contemporary touch. We offer a cuisine that the client asks for, what they want, but always trying to show that there are other options, more fun, more modern.”

    At the heart of the surprisingly warm (given that it is in reality the firts floor of a warehouse) interior design project is the Josper wood oven as well as a display of the fresh produce used in the elaboration of the dishes, celebrating the raw ingredients and the age-old methods of cooking.
