“In 2014, Javanegra Gourmet Atelier was born out of serendipity. Reni and I used to invite our friends on the weekends for dinner, where I’d cook Spanish dishes with the best ingredients we could find in Europe and Japan — little did we know, it led us to open our own restaurant”
– Andrea Peresthu.
