Biography
Juan Viu is chef and owner of Mare, a restaurant he opened in Cádiz in 2023. Born in Barbate, he grew up closely connected to the family pastry business Tres Martínez, where he first became familiar with the profession. He trained at the Escuela Superior de Hostelería de Sevilla and continued his career in different kitchens before launching his first independent projects in Barbate.At Mare, he develops a cuisine deeply rooted in Cádiz, the sea and the memory of traditional stews. His approach draws on the tradition of Cádiz seafood cuisine and a repertoire linked to the fish markets, seasonal produce and small producers. The menu changes according to the market and seeks to develop a personal language based on produce and the recipes of his homeland.
Mare currently holds one Michelin star, one Sol from the Guía Repsol and the T de Oro de Andalucía. With just three tables and around 12 diners, the restaurant brings together Viu and his team’s work in an intimate cuisine closely linked to the gastronomic identity of Cádiz.
