Our History

Rafa Margós' dream

Rafa Margós

The "Master" of wood-fired paella

Rafa Margós is the chef and mastermind behind El Paeller. A unique individual with a life dedicated to the wonderful world of paella since his family founded Las Bairetas 30 years ago, a renowned restaurant for its wood-fired paellas and home to the world's largest paella pan.


After more than 300,000 paellas under his belt and advising chefs of the caliber of José Andrés or Quique Dacosta for his mastery of fire, in 2020 the “mestre paeller” set himself a great challenge: to take his delicious wood-fired paella around the world.

Firewood

Our differentiating factor

Anyone who has ever tasted an authentic paella knows that firewood can be considered another ingredient, and that its proper use makes all the difference in the final result. This natural combustion gives the rice unmistakable aromas, flavors, and color, clearly distinguishing a paella cooked over a wood fire from any other. That's why, so that everyone can enjoy this experience, all our dishes are prepared using firewood.
