Miquel Pardo

Biography

Miquel Pardo is a chef and heads Melós, a restaurant he opened in Barcelona in 2025. Born in Onda, Castellón, he trained at the Escuela de Hostelería y Turismo del Grao de Castellón and later completed a Higher Diploma in Hospitality at the Escuela de Hostelería de Galdakao. During his training, he worked in kitchens including La Sucursal, Boroa and ABaC, and later worked at Gresca, Canalla Bistro and Heart Ibiza.
In 2017, he opened Cruix in Barcelona, where he developed a contemporary and personal cuisine centred on produce and rice dishes. With Melós, he begins a new stage in which he explores a cuisine connected to his origins, the territory and memory.
Melós’ offering is rooted in the Mediterranean and seasonal produce, combining tradition and creativity. Pardo draws on memories and references from his childhood and brings them into a more personal cuisine, in which technique serves produce and flavour.
