At the age of 16 he had his first job in the kitchen of a traditional restaurant in Cordoba, where he enjoyed learning the skills needed to become a professional chef. After that, he went on to train at \u201cEl Casino de la Fuerza Aerea\u201d in Cordoba, \u201cCasino\u201d in Mar del Plata and the High International School Hotel in Buenos Aires. The excellent training he received at these establishments meant that by the age of 18 he became the head Chef of hotels in Argentina and then later in Spain. He is now the head chef at the award winning La Patagonia restaurant in Camden, where he has created an extremely popular menu, of traditional Argentine dishes, with his own unique style.<\/p>\n<p>See <a title=\"November Live Music\" href=\"http:\/\/lapatagonia.xyz\/news\">What&#8217;s on<\/a> or our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lapatagoniarestaurant\/\">Instagram<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LaPatagoniaRestaurant\/\">Facebook page<\/a> for all the latest events news.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-98954d2\" data-id=\"98954d2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0104d30 elementor-absolute elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0104d30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lapatagonia.xyz\/newword\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/la-patagonia_118-320x427.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-15825\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lapatagonia.xyz\/newword\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/la-patagonia_118-320x427.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.lapatagonia.xyz\/newword\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/la-patagonia_118-790x1053.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.lapatagonia.xyz\/newword\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/la-patagonia_118-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.lapatagonia.xyz\/newword\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/la-patagonia_118-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lapatagonia.xyz\/newword\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/la-patagonia_118-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lapatagonia.xyz\/newword\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/la-patagonia_118-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Patagonia Restaurant\u00a0 \u00a0 La Patagonia is an authentic experience of traditional Argentine flavours in the heart of Camden served by its owners.
