After his appointment as Barrafina’s executive head chef earlier this year, we find out where the tapas aficionado wines and dines.
All-time favourite London restaurant?
Portland is a recent favourite – I love the seasonal food and the wine list is really interesting.
Where do you go when you want to celebrate?
Always a restaurant – Hakkasan is one of my favourites.
What’s your favourite bar in London?
The bar at som saa – it’s got a great atmosphere and the staff are always friendly. My drink of choice is a Negroni or gin and tonic.
What’s your local?
The Champion in Notting Hill/Bayswater. It’s so close to Hyde Park and I know whenever I go there I’ll see a friendly face.
Tell us the one thing you can’t live without right now.
My chef’s jacket! I work between all three of the Barrafinas so I’m constantly running from one to the other. Once I put my chef’s jacket on, I’m ready to work and I love it. It makes me very proud to be a part of the Barrafina team.
