Gerard Piqué and Shakira’s former restaurant reopens in Barcelona thanks to a Michelin chef. Described as the “place to be,” Azul Rooftop, located at Passeig de Joan de Borbó, is rescuing a spot filled with enviable views, Mediterranean cuisine, and French hints.
The place is owned by Michelin chef Romain Fornell, which earned his star with Caelis. Fornell owns a dozen restaurants with his Goût Rouge group and is now transforming Blue Spot (formerly owned by Piqué and Shakira alongside Grupo Tragaluz) and taking advantage of its privileged location, and spectacular views of the city.

The options include oysters, rice dishes, steak tartar, croquettes, fried eggs with Maresme peas, gazpacho, and more.

While the former soccer player still lives in Barcelona, the Colombian sensation returns to Miami and has made it her permanent residence.
