Juli Soler joined the restaurant in Roses in 1981. That same year, he brought Jean-Paul Vinay on board as head chef following the departure of Jean-Louis Neichel. In October 1984, chef Jean-Paul Vinay left the restaurant, and Ferran Adrià and Christian Lutaud became the head chefs. During the winter months, when there weren't so many customers, they took the opportunity to visit foreign restaurants and markets, working perfectly as a team to reformulate the menus.
