Can Jubany
Can Jubany, run by Chef Nandu Jubany and his wife Anna Orte since 1995, offers a traditional Catalan cuisine with a touch of vanguardism. Can Jubany, which is based in an old barnlike structure made of modernized stone with contemporary accents and modern decoration, is a gastronomic reference point.
Being in Can Jubany is a unique and sublime experience. As soon as you arrive you can breathe in its natural, positive and charming energy.
I adore the gardens, full of flowers and the orchard you cross on the way to the house. I can’t get enough of the kitchen with its big glass windows with views of the landscape with so much natural light!
Nandu Jubany and his wife are very warm and welcoming, as well as professional, making the gastronomic experience even more beautiful and enjoyable.
And the best part? The private dining room where we sat was just beside the kitchen. Super cool and fun! I recommend requesting this spot when you book your table, because the experience is as authentic as it gets!
As for the tasting menu, my favorite was the Arbequina olive oil, made my Nandu Jubany himself. Exquisite!
The garden tomato salad with tuna loin “al jabugo”, divine!
The grilled eggplant with soybean, burrata and “chapadilla” of eel, to die for!
The slow-cooked egg with bits of bacon and creamed mushrooms, very original!
Nandu Jubany’s version of Catalan codfish is so delicious that he’s converted me into a fan of codfish!
The pairing of wines was also fantstic!
El maridaje de vinos también fantástico!
As you know, I’m such a sweet tooth, so imagine how much I enjoyed the festival of desserts! My favorites were the “Babà ” of rum-flambeeĂ©d brioche with vanilla and icecream (see video) and the “coffee and chocolate textures”, all of which were spectacular!
Finally, they brought out a surprise which I loved. It’s a secret, though: you’ll have to find out for yourself!
Nandu Jubany (Michellin star) is one of my favorite chefs, not only for his professionality and his amazing menu, but also for his personality and his gastronomic art.
