Chef Jerome Quilbeuf is obviously a man with an appetite. You can tell by the name he¡¯s given his new restaurant, . It sounds exotic, but translated from the Catalan language, it simply means, ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡±
He also appears to have impeccable timing. During the two-plus years of pandemic restrictions, Quilbeuf was able to ride out the slowdown at Gracia, his relaxed, seven-seater Barcelona-style ¡°gastrobar¡± in Hiroo. Its approach ¡ª an informal counter setting with an affordable a la carte menu and enough high-end wines to attract a gourmet clientele ¡ª was perfectly tailored for those difficult times.
Now, just as Tokyo¡¯s dining scene starts to regain its pizzazz and Japan reopens its borders, Quilbeuf has elevated that same ethos to a more sophisticated level. At Tinc Gana, he offers the same casual fine dining approach as at Gracia but in a considerably more spacious setting that does better justice to the caliber of his excellent modern Spanish cuisine.
