Soledad Lema

Biography

Soledad Lema is a chef and, together with sommelier Gonzalo San Martín, heads Piedra, a restaurant opened in Barcelona in 2026. Both are Argentine and have developed much of their professional careers in Barcelona, where they worked in different restaurants before launching their own project.
Lema worked at La Barra de Carles Abellán and Batea, alongside Manu Núñez, and later served as head chef at Berbena for two years. At Piedra, she develops a cuisine rooted in her Argentine heritage and her professional journey in Catalonia, with a focus on produce, vegetables and precisely crafted preparations.
The restaurant operates with an à la carte menu rather than a tasting menu, offering dishes designed for sharing. Lema’s cuisine combines Argentine references with local produce and a distinctive approach shaped by her years of training and work in Barcelona.
