Previously the haunt of famed patrons, from royalty and celebrity, to the creative and the notorious, Café Royal has been an established and iconic landmark on the British capital’s social scene, for a century and a half. In its recent reincarnation, as a luxury hotel, Café Royal remains an established favourite for locals, while becoming a global destination.
In 2015, Albert Adria was recognized as The World’s Best Pastry Chef. The accolade was announced at the annual celebration of global gastronomy in London: The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2015.
Adria has dedicated much of his career to pioneering new pastry techniques. While his brother Ferran is considerably more famous, insiders know that the younger sibling was also instrumental in the world-renowned success of El Bulli.
Adrià headed the seminal Roses restaurant’s pastry section for many years, and latterly led its development kitchen in Barcelona. His brother would be the first to concede that El Bulli would not have become the most influential restaurant of the modern era without Albert’s input.
Albert now oversees five restaurants in Barcelona.
