Gurí

Uruguayan / Mediterranean Tasting · Sants, Barcelona · €€€

Open since 2024

Nicolás Zas's 20-seat Uruguayan-Mediterranean room behind the Casinet d'Hostafrancs in Sants, opened March 2024 — the Uruguayan self-taught chef built his pass through Lanzarote, Melbourne (Stokehouse), Auckland (The Sugar Club) and Barcelona (Come by Paco Méndez, Juno House, Ginette) before going his own way.

The Delekta Review

Tasting-menu led with four tiers — Diario €45, Raíz €60, Terruño €85, Origen €110 — plus à la carte from €4 bites to €34 plates; wine pairings €25–70 from sommelier Sheila Manghisi Uruguayan-Mediterranean cooking — fire, fermentation and seasonal product woven through Rioplatense memory, Italian-immigrant grandparent recipes and Catalan supply Chef rejects the 'fusion' label — frames Uruguayan cuisine as already braided with Italian and Spanish DNA through immigration, with the Mediterranean as the local extension of the same line

Fainá (chickpea flatbread from the Italian-Uruguayan family table) with Reixagó cheese foam, ibérico pancetta and fig-leaf mayonnaise — the signature opener across every review since opening Empanadilla de cangrejo azul del Delta de l'Ebre with active-charcoal dough and sea-lettuce emulsion — earlier seasons offered the mushroom-Urgèlia-romesco version Calabaza en texturas with bone marrow and beef-amontillado consommé — the autumn-winter showstopper Blog Hedonista called 'sencillamente maravilloso' Tortelloni handmade — rotating filling (wild rabbit, Empordà duck, lamb) with fermented mushroom or 10-year kefir sauce Lamb picaña with parsnip purée; grass-fed sirloin with 'ximixurri' (chimichurri) — the Rioplatense grill register, executed straight Mate-gin-lemon foam to open; deconstructed chajá (Uruguayan meringue-and-peach classic) to close — both house-signature bookends

Nicolás Zas — born 1987 in Montevideo, Italian and Uruguayan family heritage; self-taught, left Uruguay at eighteen for Lanzarote; nine years of Australian-and-New-Zealand kitchens (Stokehouse, Osteria Ilaria, The Sugar Club, The Grill) before relocating to Barcelona in 2022 Two BCN years at Come by Paco Méndez, Juno House and Ginette before opening Gurí on 26 March 2024 with sommelier Sheila Manghisi (Apulia, Italy) and a small kitchen brigade

Sixty-square-metre dining room behind the Casinet d'Hostafrancs — six high stools at the long pass plus around nine tables, twenty seats in total, open kitchen visible from every angle Warm wood and neutral tones; the chef leaves the pass to introduce each dish himself, an unusual rhythm for a tasting kitchen
