After training in some of Spain’s leading kitchens, including Michelin-starred El Mesón de Doña Filo, he moved to London over 25 years ago, working at Gaudi, Eyre Brothers, and Brindisa before opening his first solo restaurant, José, on Bermondsey Street in 2011. He has since launched Pizarro, José Pizarro at the Royal Academy, The Swan Inn, Lolo, and his first international restaurant, José by Pizarro at the Conrad Hilton Abu Dhabi, with his food also featured on selected P&O cruises.
Known for his love of simple, seasonal cooking and the joy of sharing food, José is a familiar face on Saturday Kitchen, This Morning, and Sunday Brunch. He is the author of several acclaimed cookbooks, with The Spanish Pantry released in summer 2025. In 2024, he was honoured with the Gran Maestre de la Orden de Isabel la Católica, the Medal of Extremadura, the Elle Gourmet Award, and Best London Restaurant 2024 at the Food and Travel Magazine Awards.
