Pedro Aguilera

Chef at Mesón Andaluz

Mesón Sabor Andaluz was inaugurated in 1996, when Pedro Aguilera was 7 years old. It was since then, when his interest in gastronomy was awakened in him.

In 2006, he went to Grabnada and studied an intermediate degree at the Hurtado de Mendoza hotel and catering school. In 2008, he was lucky enough to train for two more years at La Cónsula, in Churriana, Málaga. From here, he began to look for gastronomic restaurants. He began his internship at Tragabuches and ended up working there for almost a year.

Subsequently, he spent an entire season as an intern at Mugaritz and, when he finished this stage, he worked in several restaurants, until he had the opportunity to work with Ricard Camarena. He spent five years with Camarena, four of them as his head chef. In December 2017, he leaves the company to open Almanaque two years later, in Cádiz.

In the pandemic, he returns to his village and, without pretensions, arrives at what he lives today: Mesón Andaluz.
