Born in Colombia and raised in London, Michel Gutierrez cooks from the space between cultures, shaped by a family of Cuban, Danish and Turkish heritage.

After leaving a 17-year career in IT, he went on to work in kitchens including NoMad London, Ixchel and Fonda before founding El Jardín, a modern Latin American concept exploring authentic yet non-traditional flavours through a London lens.

His food reflects that in-between identity: not quite here, not quite there, but informed by both.

This menu is a personal celebration of family, heritage, and his son, half Turkish, half Colombian, brought together around the table.

Afiyet olsun - Buen Provecho
