Since they were young, the Porta Alsina brothers have held in great esteem their territory, Alt Urgell.
While Adrià was forming in Barcelona, Agustí began to make a name as a young craftsman of his own artisan sausages in his charcuterie.
They had always talked about the lack of knowledge and appreciation of the local product by the people of the area and when the opportunity arose to open a restaurant, they did not doubt it.
They were very clear on how they wanted the restaurant to be. They wanted to create a rustic and cozy but unique space in the Seu d’Urgell.
The main objective of El Rastell Restaurant is to keep the product fresh, not to manipulate it in excess and to preserve its organoleptic characteristics to the maximum. This will enhance your taste and make the dishes served much better. Another key point of his philosophy is to publicize and revalue both the product itself and that of the region.
They like to work with a quality product and proximity, respecting the whole process to the maximum, starting from the basis of traditional cuisine and giving it a spin, applying the knowledge acquired by Adrià in Barcelona in terms of techniques and other cuisines.
They also want what they offer to be available to everyone and, therefore, offer a quality product at an affordable price.
