The menu, with its heavy focus on sharing, features fusion dishes such as charcoal-grilled chicken with Chinese cabbage and a "Genoveva" dressing; millet and bull's beef "tosta"; and mackerel with grapes and "gazpachuelo"), all of which offer a combination of Peruvian and Asian flavours, but always centred around seasonal Galician ingredients. Several recipes pay tribute to the chef's grandmother and aunt, as it was these two family members who helped Andrés Medina develop his passion for cooking.
