About Va de Catas
Con el paso del tiempo el gran conocimiento hostelero que caracteriza a la familia Gutiérrez Martín se traspasó hasta su tercera generación. Dos de los nietos de Cristóbal y Transito constituyeron la llegada de una nueva visión. Así mismo Jairo Gutiérrez, el mayor de los nietos, consagró sus estudios a la hostelería. La gran tradición familiar y el gusto por el mundo de los vinos lo condujeron a introducirse en este ambiente. Su hermano, Jacob Gutiérrez decidió encarar sus estudios hacia la cocina. Tras sus estudios culinarios en Sant Pol se embarcó en la experiencia de trabajar en Can Jubany para ampliar sus conocimientos con la herramienta más valiosa; la experiencia.
“Grupo Esquinita” amplió sus fronteras y en el año 2010 abrió un nuevo local en el Paseo de Mar de Blanes, un lugar con aire fresco, marítimo y especial. Va de Catas, caracterizado por su cocina meticulosa y unos servicios sofisticados consiguió incorporarse con éxito en la Vila de Blanes.
Actualmente Jairo constituye la imagen de Va de Catas, un joven emprendedor, con ideas diversas y con ganas de ofrecer al cliente una nueva visión sobre la hostelería. Juntos con su hermano Jacob establecen el mosaico de la familia Gutiérrez.

Fantastic experience: A restaurant that never disappoints. I recommend their steamed mussels with the aroma of embers, they are spectacular and a friend's favorite dish. Hedgehogs mmm delicious and very well presented. Original bravas potatoes with sauce inside. Good rices and correct quantity. Meat, fish etc whatever you want. I have seen comments about the portions but the times I have gone I did not stay hungry at all (and I eat a lot) just ask before making your choice depending on the dish the portion will be. Creative fusion Mediterranean cuisine at a good price for quality. Very good views from the terrace. Fast, helpful and friendly staff. I went on another occasion with my grandson this Easter and the waiting time they gave me was correct and they were punctual and the baby was fine with his highchair eating croquettes, rice, etc.

Fantastic experience: What a surprise !! I recognize that this site has surprised me. In Blanes the menu lunch at noon is always more of the same ... that if paella, what if steak, etc. This place is different, the food is prepared, pampered, taking care of the details to the fullest. A menu of the day for 16 Euros that is to take off the hat and a pleasant atmosphere that invites to repeat. If you eat with the menu of the day as it will be the menu lunch. Recommended and mandatory stop in a different place and with a lot of personality.
Fantastic experience: Excellent wines and good dishes very well prepared. The place is on the beachfront on the seafront of Blanes. It is an elegant place to go with your partner since the atmosphere is quite intimate. I recommend the excellent ham they have. At noon they make a menu that offers excellent value for money.
