Franchesko Vera Morales
Franchesko Vera defines his cooking as elegant and irreverent. A little bit over twenty years of age, he thought that he was of the right age to take a risk and together with Flor Garcia he opened his restaurant El Gamberro, which is attracting a lot of attention in Zaragoza since 2015. He was born for this and while he was studying in the Escuela de Hostelería de Miralbueno, he started working. After being in several kitchens in Italy, Zaragoza and Ibiza, the young cook has become independent with his own establishment where he can express himself openly. His house, his rules.
