Just a month before the announcement of the new best restaurant in the world in Turin (Italy), Disfrutar in Barcelona has just released the documentary Blank plate, which revives the moments that led chefs Mateu Casañas, Oriol Castro and Eduard Xatruch to become the best in the world according to the 50th Best Restaurants rankingThe film premiered Wednesday afternoon at the Phenomena Experience cinema in front of a packed auditorium of chefs, family, friends, and politicians; next Tuesday, May 20, Blank plate (co-produced by Abacus and 3Cat) will also be broadcast on TV3, in the Non-fiction, at 10:05 p.m.

They have similar food preferences and also some different ones, and the three chefs agree that, around a standing table of food, bonds are created. "If this were not the case, we would not have chosen the names we chose for our restaurants: Share, first, and Disfrutar, later," explains Mateu Casañas and Eduard Xatruch and Oriol Castro confirm. Eating at the table opens up avenues for conversation, agreements are reached and, above all, it is enjoyed, they say.

Disfrutar is already the best restaurant in the world. This has been decided by the votes of 1,080 restaurant experts, who have placed it at number 1 in the world in The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 ranking. Since the restaurant's three chefs –Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casañas– They received the third Michelin star, in November in Barcelona, the belief was established that this should be their year. So it was. "It was a magical moment, we didn't expect it," said Oriol Castro, visibly excited and nervous. Xatruch vindicated the gastronomy of our land, the restaurant team and the family, who also suffers the sacrifice of all the time "they have not been at home." Mateu Casañas recalled "that through this profession many people are made happy" and that they are "happy to take on the challenge."
