A Chef Guided by Nature

Chef Coco Montes trained at Le Cordon Bleu Paris and honed his skills under Alain Passard at three‑starred L’Arpège, as well as in kitchens at Azurmendi, Zalacaín and Eleven Madison Park. His cuisine is rooted in daily variation, today’s produce shapes tomorrow’s dishes. Natural, precise and respectful, his cooking offers freshness with finesse and a strong focus on vegetables.

For me, luxury is flexibility, changing the menu as I wish almost every day, depending on the produce that comes in.
