Good wine. Great food.

Better company.


Hello, my name is David.

I'm from Galicia, in the north of Spain — a region where food is not just something we eat, but a fundamental part of our identity and way of life.


I came to Ireland with the goal of working and improving my English, while continuing to grow as a chef. Over the years, I worked in different restaurants in Galway, learning, evolving, and building my path in the kitchen.

Good wine. Great food.

"For me, cooking is more than food -

it's tradition, it's history, and it's a way

to connect with people."

Eventually, the opportunity to take over La Viña came along. That's when I decided to fully embrace what truly represents me: the cuisine of my homeland.


Today, at La Viña, my goal is to share a piece of Spain with every guest. Traditional tapas, authentitic flavous, and recipes rooted in our culture.
