Meet the Visionaries, Owners & Chefs behind La Buena Tapa 🙋‍♂️
👨‍🍳 Anton to the Left ⬅️ 👨‍🍳 Kyle on the Right ➡️
Kyle first started out his career within a Seafood restaurant in Oban 🦞 Here , he found his passion! Working with some of the best local fresh ingredients Scotland has to offer he fell in love with cooking. Very quickly Kyle moved on to fine dining where he was trained in a property of Chef Albert Roux, from the experience he gained there he secured a place at Gleneagles Hotel where he became a resident chef for a number of years! This is about the time when Kyle & Anton first met!
Anton started out quite similar, he gained his experience within fine dining in boutique private owned award winning hotels up and down Argyle & Bute and from there he moved on to private prestigious events up and down the UK working with high priority clients, celebrities and everything inbetween.
When Kyle & Anton first met they were both supporting a large event that was going on at Hampden Park 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 From there they started working on projects together and over that past 5/6 years they have became senior support for a number of Hotels & restaurants! During this time, they built a great working relationship and friendship which brings us to the big question 👀
Why Spanish Tapas?!?
About 4 years ago, Anton & Kyle took a much needed break to Malaga! It’s here that they fell in love with the Spanish cuisine & culture 🇪🇸 Since then, they spend almost anytime off they have there (sometimes only for 48hrs! 😂) !
They fell in love with the food, ingredients, cooking styles and the culture! When in Malaga you will either find them wandering around food markets for hours or searching restaurants for the best food in town! Of course with a few pints along the way! 🍻
