We asked Barrafina’s executive head chef Angel Zapata Martin where he likes to dine, drink, and while away the hours in London…

In the middle of the sea.
Favourite brunch spot?

At home.

We assume that Angel was just being polite… and didn’t want to say that his actual favourite restaurant is Barrafina.
