“Mediterraneo is a tribute to the kitchen of our home,
to our roots,
to our culture.
It goes back to the origins,
to the essence of Mediterranean life,
to our essence.
We claim the art of eating well,
the art of living well.
Food has the amazing power to make you remember,
and to make you travel ...
And best of all, it can be shared.
And this is all we want,
to bring you closer to our home,
to the Mediterranean sea.
Close your eyes.
Do you hear the waves?
Do you smell the sea? ”
who we are
Raquel
Sensitive and perfectionist. With a bunch of crazy new ideas every day. Obsessed with the little details and driven by curiosity. Raquel is the one behind the concept, style and communication at our both projects: M creperie and Mediterraneo.
Born and raised in a small village in the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain. Moved to Barcelona to study Psychology, gave it up, and then changed it to Design and found her passion. She is an interior architect by training, and worked in retail design for ARKET, Bershka and other little brands. But suddenly life changed. She got sick (long story) and in the last nine years she has lost her entire family (long story also). Perhaps this is the simple and melancholic reason why we began to miss our roots and felt the need to create Mediterraneo.
Her grandparents were all farmers from the mountains. She grew up in a family with a deep love for nature and food and she cannot be happier with this heritage.
Genís
Self-taught in almost everything he does. Dynamic but calm, always with a yes for everyone, kind and stubborn. Genís is the chef behind every single bite of our kitchen and the carpenter of all our setups and furniture.
Genís was a pretty good football player in his early age. Even though he doesn't admit it, he was training at Barça. But it didn't go well. He left his hometown near Barcelona when he was 16 to become a mountain guide in the Pyrenees where met Raquel. At the age of 18 he moved with her to Stockholm, and he was 19 when they started their first company in Sweden. Genis discovered his passion for cooking and entrepreneurship thanks to starting M creperie and since then he has never stopped learning.
In his family there is a tradition of cooking paella. They prepare a large table on the patio and cook together. Grandparents, parents, brother and sister, cousins and friends get together and spend the day eating and talking about life.
