Dario Barrio started his culinary career at the tender age of 14 when he enrolled into the Professional Cooking School in his birthplace, Madrid. Besides being known as a disciple of the admirable Ferran Adrià, Barrio also trained at other prestigious restaurants at places such as San Sebastian, Girona, London and Zurich. He finally opened his own restaurant dASS bASSA in Madrid in 2004. Located in an old charcoal warehouse that dates back to the nineteenth century, the building has been restored by his siblings into a contemporary avant-garde restaurant where Barrio serves his nouvelle Spanish cuisine. His boundless creativity and exceptional culinary skills have earned him the remarkable reputation of being hailed as Madrid’s rising star.

Masterchef Dario Barrio will be presenting an Epicurean Delights menu at Oscar's, Conrad Centennial Singapore from 13 to 17 April 2010.
