Chef Angel Zapata Martin

Barcelona-born Angel is the ultimate figurehead for authentic Spanish tapas in the UK. After graduating from Hofmann School of Hospitality in Barcelona, he got his big break working with Santi Santamaria, the first Catalan chef to get three Michelin stars at his restaurant Can Fabes. Following another brief stint with renowned chef Pierre Gagnaire, Andrea worked as a private chef in Ibiza, San Tropez, Megeve and London to make dishes for his illustrious clients. But missing the calls and camaraderie of the kitchen, he brings his talent and boundless energy to Barrafina in London as their new Executive Chef. His natural Catalan upbringing and search for the best ingredients is reflected in his authentic Mallorcan menus and authentic tapas.
