Codigo de Barra
About
Código de Barra is a Michelin‑starred restaurant nestled on Calle de San Francisco 7 in the historic heart of Cádiz, Spain. Founded by chef Leo Griffioen alongside partner Paqui, the establishment weaves the city’s rich Phoenician, Roman, Moorish and Andalusian culinary heritage into a contemporary tasting experience that celebrates both tradition and innovation. Drawing inspiration from Cádiz’s layered history—Gadir, Gades, Qadis—the restaurant offers a “culinary code” that transforms familiar recipes into modern, gastronomic expressions. Guests embark on a two‑hour dining journey that blends Mediterranean flavors with experimental techniques, complemented by a curated selection of local wines. The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, attentive service, and interactive menu make it an inviting destination for families, couples, solo diners, and any culinary explorer eager to taste the city’s storied past and bright future.
