Albert Adrià (L’Hospitalet del Llobregat, 1969)
Is considered one of the most influential people in the world of gastronomy and, along with his restaurants, has received its most prestigious honours and awards. He worked in the kitchen of elBulli between 1985 and 2008.
In 2013, he joined the board of elBullifoundation. In 2006 he opened the Inopia Classic Bar in Barcelona, a promoter of haute prêt à porter gastronomy and pioneer of the “gastrobar” concept.
Between 2011 and 2017 he opened a total of 7 restaurants (41º Experience, Tickets, Pakta, Bodega 1900, Niño Viejo, Hoja Santa and Enigma) within the project that brought together different gastronomic concepts under the name elBarri.
After Albert, and Ferran Adrià, signed a creative alliance with Le Cirque du Soleil for the Heart project in Ibiza, he opened 50 Days by Albert Adrià in London, a pop-up restaurant in the 5* GL Café Royal Hotel. This later became Cakes & Bubbles, a dessert dining restaurant specialising in pastries and sparkling wines.
