Cuina Sant Pau
Costa Brava
At a glance
Cuina Sant Pau is a restaurant in Sant Pol de Mar that brings together the cooking traditions of the Maresme and Brazil. Its food is built around local produce, seasonal ingredients and a sharing format, with dishes designed to reflect both the coastal Catalan setting and the Brazilian background of the culinary team.
The approach is relaxed and contemporary rather than formal. The kitchen places the ingredient at the centre of the experience, using the character of the Maresme as a foundation while adding Brazilian aromas, flavours and ideas. The result is a style of cooking that connects two different gastronomic perspectives without losing its local identity.
Sharing is an important part of the restaurant’s format. The menu encourages dishes to be placed at the centre of the table, making the meal suitable for diners who enjoy tasting several preparations together. The focus remains on the product and on the relationship between the food, the setting and the culinary heritage of Sant Pol de Mar.
The dining space is divided into two rooms with contrasting identities. One pays tribute to the Mediterranean, while the other takes the form of a Victorian-style gallery connected to the history of the premises and the chefs. Different table arrangements allow the restaurant to accommodate varied dining occasions while keeping the kitchen as the central point of the experience.
Cuina Sant Pau suits diners looking for a casual restaurant with a clear sense of place and a cross-cultural approach to food. It can appeal to those interested in seasonal Maresme produce, shared dining and a menu that combines local references with Brazilian influence. The setting also provides more than one visual atmosphere, from the Mediterranean character of the first room to the historical feel of the gallery.
Located on Carrer Nou in Sant Pol de Mar, the restaurant offers a food-led stop for a Costa Brava itinerary that includes the Maresme coast. The combination of regional ingredients, Brazilian inspiration and informal dining gives Cuina Sant Pau a defined identity while retaining a connection to the town and its culinary traditions.
