Tunateca Balfegó, Barcelona – Spain

Project description

Tunateca Balfegó is the world’s first gastronomic space dedicated to bluefin tuna, both in its menu and in its interior design.This restaurant, where Japanese and Western cuisines coexist, transcends gastronomy, establishing itself as a centre for experimentation and learning with events such as Kaitai, an ancient Japanese art that consists of achieving the precise cut of a 100 kg specimen.In addition, its interior design – has received different awards.- It will allow you to experience a 360º multi-sensory experience.Upon entering, you will dive into the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, where the Balfegó family has always done their fishing. A large translucent 5-metre high curtain makes it a wavy, organic and deep space. And from the sushi bar you can watch and interact with the sushimen while working on the tuna following the purest Japanese tradition.On the first floor we find two private rooms, Thunnus and Thynnus, –the scientific name given to the bluefin tuna–, which have been designed and equipped to organise meetings, events or private celebrations. Their design makes them warm, cosy and soundproofed spaces.Intense red and black scales are the highlight of the second hall. These two elements represent bluefin tuna in its greatest splendour.
