The group\u2019s portfolio includes BCN Taste &amp; Tradition, awarded one Michelin star in the guide\u2019s first Texas edition in 2024, and MAD, a Madrid-style spot with a surrealistic vibe. A third concept, Rocambolesc, is a cafe and gelateria that supports a mission to provide opportunities to young adults with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will it be their first Dallas spot, but it\u2019s also a unique one. A major renovation is going down for the space, which is located in a historic, tree-shaded neighborhood off McKinney Avenue and Fairmount Street in Uptown. They kept the front facade but razed the rest. <\/p>\n<p>The menu will focus on Spanish cuisine and hospitality in the style of a \u201cmas\u00eda,\u201d or Catalan country farmhouse. Chef Lenin Busquet, also boasting Michelin-starred experience across Spain, Mexico, and Peru, will lead the kitchen. She aims to show Dallasites why Spain is \u201cone of the world\u2019s most celebrated gastronomic cultures.\u201d We\u2019re here for it, chef. <\/p>\n<p>What is a Catalan farmhouse? And can we rent it for a month? <\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the Food &amp; Drink newsletter to get the latest stories delivered to your inbox<\/p>\n<p>THANK YOU!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re all set.<\/p>\n<p>CLOSE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Because nobody remembers geography class, Catalonia is located in northeastern Spain. Its most well-known city is Barcelona. The area is bordered by mountains and the Mediterranean coast, and its signature cuisine reflects both distinct landscapes. Think hearty stews studded with seafood or sausage (or both), rustic breads rubbed with ripe tomatoes, and dishes influenced by France, its neighbor to the north.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant, a new build by Dallas-based Gensler Architects, will seat 86 guests inside and another 20 outside. Early renderings (see below) reflect a sleek, modern design, which will be accented by the private art collection of Arrels founder, Ignacio \u201cNacho\u201d Torras. Masia is currently projected to open this coming winter. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"571\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Masia-renderings-dining-room-Gensler.png\" alt=\"Renderings of Masia.\" class=\"wp-image-40700349\"  \/>Renderings of Masia. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The future home of Masia.
