What Are Michelin Green Stars?
The Green Star distinguishes restaurants that combine culinary excellence with environmental care — from zero-waste kitchens to organic farms and renewable-energy operations. In Barcelona, several restaurants now hold this recognition, making the city one of Europe’s leaders in sustainable dining.
Barcelona’s Leading Green Star Restaurants
- Coure – Chef Albert Ventura creates refined Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on local produce and minimal waste.
- Aürt – Located in the Hilton Diagonal Mar, Aürt’s chef Artur Martínez follows a zero-plastic, seasonal approach.
- Somiatruites – A hidden gem emphasizing regenerative agriculture and circular kitchen systems.
- Les Cols (Olot, near Barcelona) – A long-standing pioneer in farm-to-table gastronomy and one of Catalonia’s most awarded eco-restaurants.
Each of these venues proves that sustainability doesn’t mean compromise — it means creativity and balance.
Why Sustainable Dining Matters
