Welcome back to Meet the Chefs and one of my favourite episodes yet. I sat down with Murilo Rodrigues Alves at Cuina Sant Pau in Sant Pol de Mar. Formerly a three Michelin-starred establishment, Murilo has now reopened it with the former head chef's son as a high-end bistrot that fuses Brazilian, Catalan, and Spanish cuisine. The blend is unexpectedly brilliant and made for one of my favourite meals in a long long time. Enjoy!
