Showcooking by Virens x Jimmy Millán
Where Art Becomes Taste
10 diners, 7 creations, 1 bar, and a journey where art and gastronomy speak the same language.
Discover a singular encounter at Virens Barcelona, inside Almanac Barcelona, where contemporary artist Jimmy Millán and chef Gio Esteve come together to transform seven defining moments of the artist’s life into a multisensory experience.
For this collaboration, Millán has created a limited-edition ceramic tableware collection of seven pieces, each symbolizing a milestone in his personal and creative journey. Crafted by the historic AlfarerÃa Alfonso Góngora (est. 1846) and later hand-intervened by the artist, every piece carries his signature textures, cracks, and expressive gestures.
These works of art become the stage for an exclusive seven-course tasting menu, where chef Gio Esteve interprets each life chapter through flavor, technique, and seasonal ingredients. The result is an intimate monthly showcooking for just ten guests, where every dish is presented on the ceramic piece that inspired it.
