Nieves Barragán Mohacho reveals plans for second London restaurant

Chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho will open her second restaurant, Legado, in Shoreditch this summer.

The restaurant will be her second London opening following Sabor, which opened in 2018 and earned a Michelin star the same year.

Legado, which means legacy, will celebrate Barragán Mohacho’s personal journey as well as the diversity of Spain’s regional culinary culture.

The chef and her team will draw inspiration from the lively tabancos of Cádiz and Jerez, the whole-animal cookery of Castilla y León’s grand asadors, the seafood-rich restaurants along Galicia’s coastline, and the hearty stews of Asturias.

Barragán Mohacho said: “It has always been my greatest pleasure to cook food from my country, but there are still many more stories to tell about the dishes and flavours that I haven’t found outside of Spain.

“Legado is a kind of playground for me, and I am excited to share my memories and discoveries of food and drinks – I hope everyone will enjoy.”

Both venues have been opened in partnership with JKS Restaurants.
