QUESTION EVERYTHING. WHY NOT A DIFFERENT WAY?
His true background as a chef began in the Escuela de Hostelería in Madrid and subsequently in the Escuela Euromar in Zarautz, at the hand of his teacher, today his friend, Luis Irizar. After his first professional steps in Tolosa, Hernani, Madrid and Estella, he came to Akelarre as chef and head of the restaurant.
From the magical shores of the Bay of Biscay his artistic capability at the front of the kitchen and his continuous hard work have taken his restaurant to the peak of gastronomy and now his cooking is world renowned.
