His second restaurant (Sant Celoni) was awarded two Michelin stars.

His style was a modern interpretation of traditional Catalan cuisine and slow food, focusing on fresh Mediterranean ingredients.

Santamaria made controversial accusations against the "molecular gastronomy" of other Spanish chefs, singling out Ferran Adrià.

Santamaria died on 16 February 2011 in his restaurant in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore of a heart attack.
