Josué Urgel is the soul that gives the restaurant its name and meaning. His journey in the kitchen didn’t begin under spotlights or with accolades, but over humble stoves, where he learned that every dish must hold a truth: respect for the ingredients and care for those who enjoy it.
Throughout his career, he has worked in various establishments, including Qtomas, La Principal, the former Gurugú in Godella, and Tatel, absorbing techniques and experiences that he now reinterprets at Alma de Urgel. For him, cooking is not a showcase, but a way to share memories, create emotions, and make every guest feel at home.
His style stems from tradition, refines it with simplicity, and elevates it with a touch of modernity. A philosophy he sums up in his personal motto: less is more. In every dish, he seeks to unite memory and emotion with technique and creativity, without any artifices.
Josué continues to cook with the same humility with which he began, convinced that the best way to tell his story is through the flavors that happen in his kitchen.
here, is born cuisine that respects the product, reinterprets the tradition and celebrates the pleasure of sharing.
