Gaig is a Spanish restaurant chain founded in 1989 by chef Carles Gaig. In 1993, it obtained a Michelin star.[1][2]

History

The restaurant, specializing in Catalan cuisine, was opened by chef Carles Gaig in 1989.[3][4] Four years later it was awarded a Michelin star. In 1999, Gaig received the award for Best Chef from the Royal Spanish Academy of Gastronomy.[5] In 2004, the restaurant moved to the Ensanche district in Barcelona and that same year it was awarded as the restaurant of the year by the Catalan Academy of Gastronomy.[6]

In 2008, a new establishment was opened on Calle Córcega in Barcelona. Two new restaurants were established, one in Singapore[7] and another in Barcelona with takeaway service.[8][9]
