Locals rave about it, and people travel from far and wide to enjoy Universo Santi Cardiz, which is located in a resort city on the Southern Coast of Spain, according to a recent piece (originally in The Guardian.) We’re recommending it for both its business savvy in staffing (every employee at the restaurant has some kind of disability) and their haute cuisine (word on the street is that they are being looked at by Michelin and may earn a star sometime soon.)
OUR TAKE: We need more restaurant owners state-side who think like Antonio Vila, who was a major force in opening up Universo Santi. He is also the president of a nonprofit that focuses on helping people with disabilities find rewarding jobs. At last count, the restaurant had 20 employees all of whom identify as having a disability. This story begs the question Why aren’t more restaurants doing this? At TravelAbility, we’re working to learn what the biggest hurdles to providing are, and then moving them aside with the help of you—both the travel and the disability community.
