Sergi Arola Gastro

[pedro]

Just a heads up to you guys. Sergi Arola, after leaving La Broche, has opened his new restaurant, Sergi Arola Gastro, which has been operating for three weeks or so now. He and his wife, Sara Fort who runs the dining room, are the only owners behind it.

Very good reviews except for Capel's, published today at El País.

I've never been a great fan of Sergi, but the last two meals I had at La Broche were awesome. A couple of weeks ago I dined at Gastro, where they featured their first menu consisting of 'hit parade' dishes from Sergi which now has changed, and it was flawlessly executed but to me didn't reach the same level that the meals I mentioned before. Probably just a matter of time before they settle down.

thanks Pedro, I am a Sergi Arola fan, specifically because a meal at his restaurant when our son was 16 tipped him over the edge...our son, not S.A.... and convinced him to leave school and join a mich. restaurant as an apprentice.....

look forward to his new venture, another good excuse for a few days in Madrid (if one is needed...)

Let me bump this topic - has anyone been to the restaurant, or does anyone have links to fairly serious reviews (in any language within reason)?

Here's one from a local newspaper in Madrid:
