GASTRONOMY
Welcoming both guests and visitors, the culinary experience at Finca Banyols is nothing short of extraordinary. Under the guidance of Chef Dani Chavez Bello, Finca Banyols presents two distinct culinary experiences: Aramesh, a relaxed and inviting restaurant centered around a sun-dappled courtyard, and Tafona 1475, the estate’s signature fine dining destination. Bar Aurum complements both with a menu of artfully crafted, seasonal cocktails. Both celebrate the richness of local, seasonal ingredients—many of which are sourced directly from Finca Banyols’ own sustainable gardens, olive groves, and beehives. From freshly harvested herbs and vegetables to estate-pressed olive oil and honey, every dish reflects a deep connection to the land and a commitment to thoughtful, flavorful cuisine.
At the heart of Finca Banyols' culinary experience Chef Bello transforms the island’s finest local ingredients into refined expressions of flavor and heritage. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, and raised in Barcelona, Dani Chávez-Bello is a chef with a wandering soul and a Mediterranean heart bringing over two decades of Michelin level experience to Finca Banyols. Dani’s passion for gastronomy led him to train under some of Spain’s most legendary chefs, including the teams at the pioneering El Bulli, Martín Berasategui, and Mugaritz. His illustrious career also spans renowned kitchens across Paris, Germany, London, and New York City, where he worked alongside David Bouley.

"At Finca Banyols, we will harvest and create dishes from heritage—olives, vines, and citrus at their purest." Chef Dani.
Aramesh

Here, elemental cooking is a philosophy. Whether dining under the stars in the tranquil courtyard or within the embrace of warm, rustic stone walls, Aramesh invites you to linger, to savor and to feel at home. More than a meal, every moment here tells a story—one written in smoke, seasonality, and soul.
