Gaig Restaurant

What Gaig Restaurant does

Gaig Restaurant is a family-owned Catalan cuisine restaurant group with roots tracing to 1869 and currently operated by the 4th through 6th generations of the Gaig family in Barcelona. The group's core offering is authentic Catalan fine dining built around heritage recipes — most notably Traditional Cannelloni and Pigeon Rice — that have been preserved unchanged for over 150 years and earned the flagship a Michelin star continuously since 1993. Operating concepts span Gaig Restaurant Barcelona (the Sarri\u00e0 flagship), Gaig Petit Comit\u00e9 in the Eixample district, Fonda Gaig (family-style), Porta Gaig (airport), Gaig en Casa (takeaway and catering), and an owned international outpost, Gaig Restaurant Singapore, along with the La Ventana consultancy project.

The business model is multi-channel but fundamentally B2C: lunch service and tasting menus (Barcelona gift vouchers are priced €260–€380 for two guests), takeaway/collection service (Tuesday–Sunday 11:00–16:00), private event hosting and off-site catering for groups of 11+, and Singapore-side tasting menus at S$198++ per person and special 4-hand collaboration dinners at $200++ per person. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via reservations (phone and website), email newsletter, social media (Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn), and event-led marketing through partnerships such as the 2023 Sierra Cantabria Cellars wine dinners in Singapore.

The customer base is food enthusiasts and gastronomy lovers seeking Catalan heritage dining, private event hosts (individuals and corporate), and takeaway customers, with no disclosed enterprise anchor accounts. The legal entity is Gaig 2021, SL in Spain with a Singapore subsidiary (Gaig Restaurant Barcelona Pte Ltd); the business is wholly family-owned with no external investors and operates with 11–50 total employees across all locations.
