I blend tradition with creative fusion
My passion is exploring new tastes by combining traditional foundations with international fusion, so every menu feels familiar yet surprising.
I’m trained through family roots and professional mastery
I first learned to cook with my family, who ran three restaurants, and I later completed formal studies in pastry and baking, plus a master program with Michelin-starred chefs.
I cook with seasonality, local products, and bold spices
My kitchen “secret” is making the most of local, seasonal ingredients while pairing traditional and exotic spices and raw materials to create depth and balance.





Esteban and Luisa provided an absolutely unforgettable culinary experience for our group of eight during our stay at Bodegas Puelles in La Rioja. From the very beginning, their communication was prompt, clear, and incredibly accommodating. We had some strict dietary requirements in our group—including two gluten-free guests and a severe cross-contamination shellfish allergy—and they handled them flawlessly, giving us complete peace of mind. The food was phenomenal. Every meal was a brilliant showcase of regional cuisine, featuring everything from a rich Navarra-style oxtail stew and beautiful Basque-style fish, to an incredible paella and perfectly cooked French Basque tenderloins. The breakfasts were equally wonderful and always perfectly timed around our daily excursion schedule. Beyond their undeniable talent in the kitchen, Esteban and Luisa are just wonderful people who provide a masterclass in hospitality. They were incredibly flexible with our ever-changing schedule, graciously giving up a planned dinner when a lunch tasting menu ran long, and seamlessly adding a last-minute breakfast for us on our departure day. They went above and beyond in every conceivable way: bringing us fantastic local wines from a nearby cellar, helping us source unexpected last-minute requests (like a toothbrush and a specific bottle of vodka), and always arriving early with a warm smile. To top it all off, after our departure, they took the time to personally donate our extra groceries and leftover food to local families in their community. That level of kindness and generosity truly speaks to who they are. Esteban and Luisa are punctual, professional, deeply attentive, and wonderfully engaging. They have our highest possible recommendation—if you have the chance to book them, do it!
