After 15 successful years in the music business, Marcos was looking around for a fresh challenge and it was while he was in London that inspiration struck him. Like many of his countrymen, Marcos was dismayed by the lack of authentic Spanish cuisine in a city renowned for its gastronomic diversity. Vowing to do something about this, Marcos formulated a plan to open a restaurant that celebrated the real food of Spain. The only problem was, with no experience in the restaurant trade, he had little idea of all that was involved! Enter Nacho... NACHO MANZANO Our Michelin-starred Executive Chef’s passion for food stems from cooking with his mother and grandmother at their home in the tiny village of La Salgar in the Asturias region of north-west Spain. This house became the celebrated two Michelin starred restaurant Casa Marcial - a place of pilgrimage for all lovers of Asturian cuisine. Nacho subsequently opened La Salgar, which was awarded a Michelin star, and Gloria, named after Nacho’s beloved grandmother. Creative, innovative, and dedicated to doing justice to the outstanding ingredients of the area where he grew up, Nacho Manzano has established himself as one of Spain’s most exciting and talented chefs. A SHARED VISION It was 2007 when Nacho and Marcos started working on their concept for a truly Spanish restaurant in London, built on the best ingredients and traditions of their homeland. The vision was to make dining at Ibérica the most authentic experience possible, with produce painstakingly selected to ensure its dishes showcased the very best of Spain. Marcos and Nacho opened the first Ibérica restaurant in 2008 and based on its success, they’ve opened a further seven restaurants. The family of restaurants has grown but the vision remains: to celebrate Spanish gastronomy, wine and culture and give diners an authentic taste of Spain.
