Zaytun
Catalan/Andalusian Fusion · Sants, Barcelona · €€
Open since 2024
Juanan Vizcaíno opened Zaytun in 2024 at 29, putting his father's Jaén and his mother's Catalunya on the same plate. Five tables in Sants, a deconstructed romesco that's become the calling card, and a 20-plate carta around €35-40 — reservations are weeks out and earned.
The Delekta Review
Chef Juanan Vizcaíno opened Zaytun in 2024 at age 29; trained at ESHOB, prior stint at Alchimix; invested every euro of his savings Father from Jaén, mother from Catalunya; his mother Anna María Soria runs the dining room Agustín (kitchen partner from his Alchimix days) handles the hot line; Juanan plates everything visible from the bar
Catalan + Jaén bistronomy with global touches — short carta, ~20 shareable plates Vizcaíno frames the cooking as 'gastronomía popular' for the neighbourhood — 80% of diners are locals
70 m², five tables — the room feels like eating in someone's flat with professional cooking through the pass
Deconstructed romesco served with puffed regañás — the signature Bomba de la Barceloneta with beef tartar, potato cream, panko Truffle chicken croquette — a Christmas roast in croquette form Smoked cod with rin-ran and olivada Croissant-brioche mussels with Korean coleslaw
Closed Monday-Tuesday; ~€35-40 for the full carta
