A taste of Spain comes to town

A new Spanish eatery called Casa Paco has opened at 75/77 Central Market on 11th July 2016, offering an authentic selection of Spanish dishes such as tapas, bocadillos (Spanish Sandwiches) and a range of delicatessen specialities to tempt your tastebuds whether for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack.

Spanish cuisine has become very popular in recent years with many customers looking to recreate tastes from their holiday or to enjoy Mediterranean cooking (some of it for its health benefits) which focuses on quality ingredients.

The inspiration behind Casa Paco is Paco Lora, who has lived in Jersey for over 25 years and is originally from Valencia, Spain.  Paco said, "I have always enjoyed cooking.  I learnt many traditional dishes and techniques from my grandmother, who herself originated from Seville, when I was growing up.  I wanted to bring the explosion of tastes that are in Spanish cooking to Jersey".

The new venue is an expansion to Casa Paco's successful existing business at Les Folies Harbour, which has just celebrated it's first anniversary.  It is characterised by its red food trailer and focuses on authentic Spanish cooking utilising local fresh produce, it's most popular dish being its infamous "grandmother special" which is a Spanish sandwich with loin of pork, manchego cheese, Serrano ham and piquillo peppers.
