A Home to Return to

Ramon Freixa

Ramón Freixa’s story begins among bread and memories. Raised in Castellfollit de Riubregós, a small Catalan town, his first steps in the kitchen were taken in his grandparents’ bakery, where the smell of flour marked the beginning of a deep vocation. Later, at the family restaurant, Freixa Tradició, he discovered the value of the product, the power of memory and the soul behind every well-made recipe.

Throughout his career, Ramón has been recognized with prestigious awards—including two Michelin stars, two The Best Chef Awards knives and three Repsol Suns—has consolidated his unique style where technique serves flavor and emotion. But above the awards, he has always maintained his connection to his origins and to a cuisine born from a respect for authenticity.

Tradición is the project that returns him to his essence. A place where he pays homage to what made him a chef: the product, the flavor and the memory. Here, every dish tells a story and every serving is a celebration of traditional Spanish cuisine.

Ramón Freixa cooks to move, to connect with memories… and, above all, to make everyone at the table happy.
