      This is my fourth visit I took friends from the UK and we arrived at 7.30pm and left just before midnight. The staff are very friendly and polite, the manager is always smiling it’s a pleasure to return to the restaurant and the food is always great. The whole menu is delicious, family style sharing to experience the flavors is the best way to order. Will return again soon.

      Alberto Izard (Head Chef) Profile  

      Alberto has had gastronomy in mind since he was just a little boy. In his childhood, he would always help his mother in the kitchen. At the early age of 12 he already made up his mind and informed his family he wanted to become a chef.
      A couple of years later, when he was 14 he entered the prestigious Escuela de Hosteleriay Turismo de Madrid in his hometown, where during the following 5 years he learned about the fundamentals of French, traditional Spanish, and other international cuisine. During the time he was studying there, he would use his summer holidays to do internships in the kitchens of different HUSA Hotels, across Mediterranean Spain. After graduating with his Higher Culinary Diploma, he continued perfecting his Mediterranean cuisine skills at the Castello 9 Restaurant for 1 year, and he had his first contact with “haute cuisine” at the Cenador de Salvador (1 Michelin star) for 6 months.

       After that, Alberto’s career continued growing as he became chef for the reputed Hotel Melia Madrid Princesa, specialized in French and Mediterranean cuisine, where he worked for the following 10 years. During that period he additionally worked part-time at 2 fine dining establishments in the Spanish capital: Sant Celoni (2 Michelin stars) for 3 years, and Coque (1 Michelin star) for 5 years. This allowed him to broaden his cooking and organizational skills.

       He continued his career at Pastelerias Mallorca, one of the most prestigious deli chains and catering corporations in Spain (a company in charge of the catering for the VIP rooms at the Real Madrid and Atletico de Madrid football stadiums). Here, he worked for 10 years, in which he was the executive chef and also in charge of research and development. Finally, his last job in Spain was at a management position in Mercadona, one of the biggest supermarket chains in the country, where he designed the new “ready-to-eat” line of products.

       After more than 25 years working he decided to take a break and fulfill his dream of travelling across Asia. During this trip, he visited and experienced the cultures and cuisines of India, Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos and, finally, Thailand. After traveling for some time around Thailand he decided to settle here and he was the executive chef for an Italian restaurant in Bangkok, and a Hotel chain in Chiang Mai, before opening “El Tapeo”.

       Alberto considers his cooking style as mainly Mediterranean, in which he prioritizes the use of seasonal products. Moreover, while he is a fan of traditional Spanish cuisine, he tries to provide his recipes with a cultural fusion based on his trips and experiences. In his free time, Alberto loves reading, listening to music, playing tennis, and doing outdoor activities. As he is so passionate about food he takes any chance he has to try new restaurants and get inspired by the different cuisines. Apart from Spanish and Thai food, he is a fan of Chinese and Korean food. Regarding his future he sees himself staying in Thailand, where he aims to make Spanish gastronomy more popular, and growing up together with El Tapeo , Paella House and D'tapas
