Agua specialises in contemporary Spanish cuisine with Mediterranean influences. The food is full of robust natural flavours featuring aromatic herbs and rich olive oils which when married with the freshest produce conjure up the essence of Spain.                                                                                                                                                  Chef Jordi Valles. Jordi grew up in Barcelona and learnt his passion for cooking from his grandmother. He has cooked for numerous dignitaries including the President of Catalonia. Jordi was named Chef of the Year 2009 and 2011 by Beijing’s City Weekend.                                                                                                                                              
Designer David Yeo, founder of the Aqua Restaurant Group, has taken his inspiration from the warm luxurious browns and textures of natural Spanish woods to create an interior for agua that is chic and stylish. David has also introduced exotic Moorish touches throughout the restaurant, with coloured glass and brass lanterns sourced from the souks of Morocco and windows and doors in the traditional Moorish shape. The end result is reminiscent of a chic Spanish brasserie, one that would be right at home in hip Barcelona, London or New York.
