Jordi Vilà | Alkimia* Barcelona, Spain
Biography
Jordi Vilà is at the helm of Alkimia, the restaurant he founded with Sònia Profitós in 2002 and which is now located on the main floor of the Moritz brewery in Barcelona. Trained at the Escola d’Hostaleria Joviat in Manresa, before opening his own restaurant he worked in different Barcelona kitchens, including Casa Irene, Neichel, Joan Piqué and Jean Luc Figueras.At Alkimia, he has built a cuisine centred on Catalan gastronomic tradition, approached from a contemporary perspective. His proposal seeks to explore Catalan recipes and produce in greater depth and take them into new territory, while maintaining craftsmanship, produce and attention to the moment as fundamental elements.
The project also includes Alkostat, a more informal and everyday offering that allows Vilà to explore another way of approaching Catalan cuisine. His gastronomic activity also extends to Vivanda and Va de Cuina, projects that form part of his work around Catalan cuisine and produce. Alkimia has held one Michelin star since 2004, as well as three Soles Repsol.
Jordi Vilà is the author of The Manual of Self-Defence of Catalan Cuisine, a manifesto published in April 2025.
