THE COOKING OF BALANCE

"We work to evolve, to break new ground, while remaining true to our values and our personality.

We seek to excite through subtlety. To make people vibrate with the harmony between product and technique. To achieve balance.

We build from common sense, guided by our concerns and in line with our personality.

We are driven by the concern that our cuisine is authentic, that it respects the rhythms of the environment. Because from our small cosmos we are committed to preserving the territory by carrying out a more sustainable gastronomy, closer to balance".

David Yárnoz, chef of Molino de Urdániz

David Yárnoz

David is a cook with his own identity, restless and obsessed with finding a well-made kitchen. For this reason, his cuisine has evolved with sense, he is thoughtful, away from fashions and conventions, but always seeking balance and his own emotions.
They say of him that he is capable of making impossible and stunning harmonies, which stands out for his sensitivity and creative lucidity.
From the hand of his mentor, Luis Irizar, he discovered his passion for cooking, and then he went through different restaurants of recognized prestige until he took over, in 2004, the kitchen of the family restaurant, Molino de Urdániz, and there he began his small culinary revolution.
A reference in the cuisine of Navarra and our country, it has two Michelin stars and two Repsol soles.

The environment, the colors, the game with wild herbs and buds, the changes of the landscape with the cycle of the seasons, the soft light, the warm space are present in each of David Yárnoz’s creations.
