As seen on BBC1 Master Chef and voted as one of London's Top 100 Restaurants; acclaimed chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias merges the Spanish cuisine of his family with his love of Mexico for his debut London restaurant, Decimo. Expect lots of flavour – open fire cooking, mezcal cocktails, and a dramatically different tortilla – exceptional design, floor-to-ceiling windows and dramatic views across the London skyline.
