THE RESULT

Precise cooking, optimising time, and maintaining the quality of the traditional dishes that Marc's cuisine requires.

Marc Ribas, a chef renowned for his personal and passionate approach to traditional Catalan cuisine.

As the owner of La Taverna del Ciri, he has managed to transform what was traditionally the cuisine of an inn into a high-end gastronomic proposal, while maintaining a deep respect for local roots and traditions.

  • Who is Marc and where does his passion for cooking come from?

    I consider myself a ‘project under construction’, because my career and my approach are still evolving day by day. My passion for cooking stems from my love of food. Since I was a child, I have always loved to eat, and it was that passion that drove me to learn how to cook, especially traditional Catalan cuisine. Although I am clear about where I want to go, I am always learning and adapting my style to perfect it and look for new ways, culinarily speaking, to express myself.

  • What are the most representative dishes of your restaurant?

    Dishes such as traditional cannelloni, Rossini cannelloni with foie gras, rice of the day and meatballs with cuttlefish stand out on the menu at La Taverna del Ciri. These are traditional recipes that I adore, prepared with a contemporary touch that makes them unique and special for our diners.

  • Why did you choose Mychef for your restaurant?

    I chose Mychef because it saves us time and effort, and that is key in a kitchen like ours, where we look for quality without compromising tradition.

  • What makes La Taverna del Ciri special?

    La Taverna del Ciri is special to me because it combines traditional Catalan cuisine with a modern, high-end approach. I have managed to transform what used to be the classic fonda into a space where tradition and the avant-garde meet. We respect our roots, but we reinvent them with quality local products, offering our diners a unique experience that goes beyond flavours, connecting them with the essence of our land.

  • How do you use technology in your kitchen and what role do Mychef ovens play?

    In my kitchen, technology is a fundamental ally. Mychef ovens make it easy for us to do traditional cooking with a technologically advanced touch. They allow us to work with controlled humidity, ensure that flavours are kept at their maximum and that nothing burns, all with programmes that simplify our work immensely.

  • What do you value most about the Mychef iCook oven?

    In addition to its reliability, precision and ability to provide homogeneous cooking, what I would highlight most about the iCook oven is its automatic cleaning system. This makes a big difference in everyday life, as it saves us time and effort, allowing us to focus on what is really important: cooking with quality and creativity. Mychef, for me, is time.
