Where vegetables lead the way
Rodrigo’s culinary journey spans Mugaritz under Andoni Luis Aduriz and the pastry artistry of Paco Torreblanca. His path through Spain, France, and China has shaped a philosophy rooted in respect for the ingredient — always guided by a deep connection to nature. Back in Spain, he opened El Invernadero — a space devoted to vegetables and green gastronomy. Here, ingredients are treated with precision and patience. Vegetables are harvested at their peak, served fresh or preserved with care — always allowing their true character to shine.
