Meet the Founder

From Strasbourg to Granada

Born in Strasbourg, Alsace, the founder grew up with food and hospitality as part of everyday life. Alsace became both a professional foundation and a cultural one.

He trained as a chef in Ribeauvillé, in a Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of Alsace’s food and wine country. His professional journey then took him to Baden-Baden in Germany, Hotel La Samanna in the French Caribbean, Switzerland, and eight years in Ireland.

Returning to Spain, he became chef-owner of The Temple Bar in Benalmádena, learning that a restaurant is about far more than food: service, atmosphere, people, consistency and giving guests a reason to come back.

Why Winstub Granada?

After moving to Granada, the idea became clear: connect where he came from with the place that is now home.

Winstub Granada brings the food and spirit of Alsace to a new setting, with Flammekueche at the centre, alongside Alsatian wines, Crémant, brezel, escargots, cheese, charcuterie and the relaxed, social atmosphere of a Winstub.

It is not about recreating Strasbourg in Granada. It is about taking something I know and love and giving it a new home.

Building it from the ground up

Winstub Granada is a focused independent hospitality project, deliberately lean and designed to prove the concept first in Granada.

If the first Winstub proves the concept, the longer-term ambition is to adapt and replicate the model elsewhere in Andalusia. But first comes Granada.
