Chef Eduard Castellarnau started off his culinary career driven with a deep passion for culinary arts and hospitality. His interest came naturally as he grew up fully immersed in the family hotel business, where the legacy of Hotel Castellarnau has carried on for 3 generations.

Although he began his journey by cooking in the family hotel, his thirst for knowledge and his desire to master his craft led him to embark on a quest to discover new horizons in culinary culture around various parts of the world. His culinary adventure took him through France, Scotland and even Russia, before he returned to Spain. Once back in his native land, he sought to follow the footsteps of the best in the industry by training in renowned restaurants such as El Celler de Can Roca (3 Michelin stars) and Can Jubany (1 Michelin star).

After more than 15 years of perfecting his craft, Chef Eduard is now fulfilling his mission to share his passion for culinary arts and the exquisite taste of Spanish cuisine in Asia, starting with opening La Cala Restaurant in Singapore in January 2018.
