Nestled in the historic center of Cádiz, Código de Barra is the brainchild of chef León Griffioen and sommelier Paqui Márquez. Since its inception in 2010, the restaurant has evolved, culminating in its current location on Calle San Francisco. Here, the duo has realized their vision of blending Cádiz’s 3,000-year-old culinary traditions with avant-garde techniques. In 2023, their dedication was recognized with a Michelin star, marking Código de Barra as a standout in the city’s dining scene.
The restaurant offers two meticulously curated tasting menus—Gadeira and Qadis—each serving as a narrative of the region’s gastronomic evolution. Diners can expect dishes that pay homage to local ingredients and historical recipes, reimagined through a contemporary lens. The minimalist decor, featuring elements like stone and brick, provides a serene backdrop that allows the cuisine to take center stage. With a commitment to excellence and a deep respect for Cádiz’s culinary heritage, Código de Barra offers an immersive dining experience that resonates with both history enthusiasts and modern gourmands alike.
