Chef Mohacho announces restaurant partnership with JKS

Chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho has announced plans to open Legado in Shoreditch this summer, in partnership with JKS Restaurants.

The site will be the chef's second UK location, following the launch of the Michelin-starred Sabor in 2018.

With two decades of experience representing Spanish cuisine, Mohacho's Legado – meaning ‘legacy’ – is a nod to her professional journey and a celebration of Spain’s regional food cultures.

Dining at Legado

Moving beyond the familiar, Legado will explore ingredients, dishes and dining traditions from across the country, drawing inspiration from the 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.

As the chef's largest project yet, the space and design will provide Mohacho and her team an environment for further research and development, serving as a platform for her continually evolving creativity.

“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," she says. "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.”
