FEATURED CHEF

Chef Miguel de la Torre from De la Torre's/ La Bodega

Posted: 10/2/2009

BIO:

Chef Miguel de la Torre was born and raised in Madrid, Spain. He moved to Louisville in 1987, and opened De la Torre's Restaurant on Bardstown Rd. a year later, at a time when there were very few ethnic restaurants in the city.

PHILOSOPHY:

In 2004, he opened La Bodega, an authentic Spanish tapas bar, next door to the restaurant. This completed a dream for the chef, as he is able to offer both aspects of the Spanish dining tradition. In De la Torre's, you can have a quiet, leisurely dinner  or go to La Bodega for tapas and socializing with friends. Either way, Miguel is happy sharing a taste of Spain with Louisville.
