Cooking has always been part of Javier Aranda’s life. From his family and childhood memories, including his grandmother’s dishes, to his early foray into the world of hospitality at the age of 16, where he discovered that cooking was his true language of expression. Among his professional experiences are restaurants such as El Bohío, Ars Vivendi, Urrechu or Santceloni. After all this trajectory, in 2014, at just 27 years old, Javier Aranda became the youngest chef in the world to obtain a Michelin Star with his restaurant La Cabra. The same year it opened, in 2016, Aranda achieved its second star for Gaytán, a restaurant that has consolidated its star from then until today.

Gaytán is Javier Aranda in its purest form. It is tradition, it is inspiration from his roots and it is the vanguard of his professional experiences. But not only that, because Gaytán is also the vindication of the product in its maximum splendor, the respect for its seasonality and the creation of original and elegant dishes. All of this embedded in a perfectly orchestrated on-site scene cooking performance which results in the perfect experience. Each of the elements found in the culinary offer of this leading restaurant in Madrid is perfectly located, resulting in an explosion of flavors in the mouth that is uncommon in the current gastronomic scene. The 360o experience is completed by crockery and glassware chosen ad hoc, something that causes the enjoyment of the experience to begin in the visual field, to later delve into taste or smell.
