i. Biography
Jordi Peris’s cooking at Bar del Pla in Barcelona, Spain is built for the Spanish bar format: compact, direct, and built to hold up in service. Within that frame, the work reads as precise and grounded, with a clear attention to Belgian culinary tradition. The result is a kitchen language that moves between two culinary registers without losing its shape.
Coming Up
Training at Bar del Pla gave Jordi Peris the house rhythm from the inside. He learned the pace, the discipline, and the practical demands of a kitchen where every plate has to justify itself. That formative period became a working base rather than a fixed point, giving him the vocabulary he still uses in the role he holds today. The same restaurant later became his place of leadership. What started as training at Bar del Pla turned into the daily responsibility of chef, with Jordi Peris carrying forward the lessons of the house into service. The continuity matters here: the kitchen he works in now is the one that shaped his approach.
Where They Are Now
Head chef at Bar del Pla means working inside a format that leaves little room for excess. Jordi Peris’s current post sits at the center of the restaurant’s kitchen identity, where Belgian culinary tradition is translated through a Spanish bar structure. That pairing gives the food its point of view: one tradition filtered through another, with the constraints of the room doing part of the work. Refinement within constraint is the central discipline here. The format is tight, and that tightness sharpens the decisions made in the kitchen. In Jordi Peris’s hands, Bar del Pla becomes a place where tradition is carried forward by adaptation, not imitation. Barcelona is the setting, but the house itself is the subject. Jordi Peris leads from within the same restaurant where he trained, and that internal continuity shapes the way the kitchen reads. His work connects the training he received at Bar del Pla with the lens he now applies to it as Head Chef.
