Nacho Manzano is considered one of the great emerging talents of Spanish gastronomy. Holder of two Michelin stars, his creations unite refined cuisine d'auteur with the tradition of his roots. The result is an amazing fusion of unique flavors.

Nacho Manzano's cuisine is one of origins and memory; one in which his roots both personally and gastronomically mark out the path he has taken. He is loyal to tradition without renouncing modernity, a chef for whom both flavor and textures are fundamental, as is the high-quality end product – a product he seeks out, tests and selects as the basis of a gastronomy with its own character, in which it is possible to savor Asturias crossing only the border of a plate.

An admirer of all styles and trends (because he firmly believes that cuisine is so broad and plural that all that is good and done with the due precision will always have an important place), he is proudly known as "the village chef" – a village which, for him, is home (gastronomically-speaking and literally) and the starting point, for example, of his current creative culinary period: the summary of the Asturian landscape through flavors as seemingly different as those of game and seafood.

Coupled flavors that, far from what you might think, represent the flavor of Asturias and the landscape that envelops a unique way of understanding cuisine.
