From 15th February, Legado will open for a long Sunday lunch service from 12.30–3.30pm, taking after the languid and decadent meals enjoyed at home in Spain. The Taberna will also open at the same hours, offering tapas, pintxos, cocktails, and sherries exclusively to walk-ins throughout the day. Sunday reservations are now available – we look forward to seeing you then!

Earlier this year, the Legado team travelled to Rioja to immerse themselves in one of Spain’s most celebrated regions and a great source of inspiration for Nieves.

Just a few months before opening the Legado team travelled to the heart of Andalusia and into the home of sherry – Jerez de la Frontera – and the birthplace of some of Spain’s most distinctive traditions.

Back in March, Nieves and the team travelled to Segovia – the hilltop town north of Madrid famed for its dramatic Roman aqueduct, fairy-tale Alcázar, and one of Spain’s most iconic dishes: cochinillo asado, or roast suckling pig.
