Público - Cuina de Mercat
Mediterranean / Market · Eixample, Barcelona · €€€
Público - Cuina de Mercat is chef Edgar Martinez Custodio's market-driven restaurant on Enric Granados — Edgar named one of Spain's best new chefs by Food & Wine, sommelier Xavi Nolla curating 200-plus bottles, and a Star Wine List 'Best New Opening in Spain' to its name.
The Delekta Review
Edgar Martinez Custodio runs a kitchen at Público that is confident without being showy — and Food & Wine flagged him as one of Spain's best new chefs for it. The steak tartar on smoked brioche with cured egg yolk earns every bit of its reputation: rich, precise, addictive. The tuna with orange, almonds, and cava pearls sounds like a list of ideas but arrives as a coherent whole. Truffled potato parmentier with foie gras is unapologetic comfort done with real craft, and the grilled turbot with Meunière sauce, Jerusalem artichoke cream, and crispy garlic shows the kitchen's range at its most serious. Sommelier Xavi Nolla curates 200-plus bottles — a Star Wine List 'Best New Opening in Spain' — with 35 by the glass, a register that signals a room taking the full meal seriously. Part of the Pantea Group stable, Público is the anchor: the one carrying the most culinary ambition, and it delivers.
