On 17 Oct 2017 I attended the Gaig & Gramona dinner with the infamous Robert Rees of Wine Exchange Asia at Gaig Singapore. The dinner was a special event as Carles Gaig was in Singapore from Barcelona.
Carles Gaig’s family has been in the restaurant business with Taberna d’en Gaig since 1869, he took over the business in the 1970’s from his mother. In 1989, after a renovation of the restaurant, Taberna d’en Gaig was renamed Restaurant Gaig, which won a Michelin Star in 1993. Carles himself was named the Best Chef of 1999 by the Real Academia de Gastronomia. In 2004 they closed Restaurant Gaig and opened a new restaurant called Gaig within the Hotel Cram, they also found time in the same year to win the Academia Catalana de Gastronomia’s Best Restaurant of the Year award.
In 2015 Gaig decided to try their luck with a restaurant in Singapore called La Ventana, which I have enjoyed a number of great meals at. In 2017 they moved from La Ventana to Gaig Singapore in Stanley Street, which I really like, especially as it is 2 blocks from my office. The Singapore outpost of Gaig is run by Núria , Carles’ daughter, she does a fantastic job, ensuring that everyone who is lucky enough to dine at Gaig has a very enjoyable visit.
