Legado: Michelin-starred Nieves Barragán to open new Spanish restaurant in Shoreditch

Yahoo17-07-2025
The latest high-profile restaurant to open in the new Shoreditch development under the Overground line is Legado, a new Spanish concept from Nieves Barragán Mohacho and JKS Restaurants.
Legado, which means 'legacy', is next door to the new Singburi, while the Standard understands another big opening is planned nearby (we cannot say yet, but hold tight).
Barragán is best known for her Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant Sabor, a multi-floor restaurant that spans Spain's regional cuisine.
Legado, the Standard was told, 'is set to move beyond the familiar, allowing the wider ingredients, lesser-known dishes, regional culinary traditions and the Spanish artisans to take centre stage.'
The 60-cover restaurant – with a further 16 at the counter – will serve tapas and pintxos that shine a light on specific producers, ingredients and Spanish traditions.
Lamb, for example, will come from Lechazo de Castilla y León (an origin-protected producer), while suckling pig is to be sourced from the award-winning farm Tabladillo el Cochinillo in Segovia, a province north of Madrid,
Fish will be treated much the same, with a menu that traverses Spanish coastlines. Dishes are to include crystal Mediterranean prawns with smoked paprika and Moscatel vinegar, and confit lobster with chilli and garlic served on a base of thinly sliced potatoes. Both will come topped with a runny fried egg.
As for vegetarian dishes, the most interesting could be the 'Legado sandwich', made with Swiss chard, cecina, and smoked cheese fried in breadcrumbs, which Barragán remembers her grandmother making for her in the Basque region.
'Spain's food heritage is incredible and has rightly deserved recognition in London and globally,' she said.
'Its colours, tastes, and smells are rooted deeply within me. However, many dishes I love, I have never seen outside the country and want to bring them and even more to London.'
As for wines, diners should expect a 150-bin list celebrating Spanish vintages, and 'seasonally changing vegetable and fruit-based cocktails served chilled but without ice.' There will be three-sip drinks, short drinks being the fashion in London right now.
The restaurant will look Spanish and modern – think a colour palette of green, plaster pink and terracotta – with exposed brick, an open kitchen and lots of beautiful wood.
Legado opens on August 28, 1C Montacute Yards, 185-186 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6HU, jksrestaurants.com

The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus washes up in a zombie-filled Spain in the first Daryl Dixon season 3 trailer, and it's all a bit Resident Evil 4

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Daryl and Carol are back. The first full trailer for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 has been unveiled at the show's Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, and the new Spanish setting is giving serious Resident Evil 4 vibes. In the trailer, which you can watch above, Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) are still en route home, and escape apocalyptic London via boat thanks to Stephen Merchant's 'last Englishman in England', only to wash ashore in Solaz del Mar, Spain, after a storm. Not all is well in the Spanish town, though, with the locals offering up their daughters for trucks full of guns – a barbaric practice that globetrotting righter-of-wrongs Daryl Dixon is perfectly placed to put a stop to. OK, so there's no Dr. Salvador revving up a chainsaw, but there's more than a bit of Leon S. Kennedy's American outsider rolling up on an undead-infested rural Spanish town and taking on its self-appointed 'King' to Daryl Dixon's latest conflict. At the same Hall H panel, cast members Reedus and McBride, alongside producer Scott M. Gimple, and showrunner David Zabel, also announced that the show has been renewed for a fourth and final season, with production set to kick off in Spain later this month. It's been a busy few weeks for Walking Dead news. Earlier this month, Negan and Maggie-centric spin-off The Walking Dead: Dead City was renewed for a third season. Meanwhile, an unscripted horror series called Guts & Glory, from Walking Dead effects wizard Greg Nicotero, where contestants try to survive an 'immersive horror experience full of unexpected challenges,' was also announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 premieres on AMC and AMC+ on September 7 in the US, and releases on September 11 in the UK.

Barcelona star sends farewell message to club's fans

A departing member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has bid a fond farewell to all in Catalunya's capital. The player in question? Pau Víctor. Frontman Víctor is for his part of course fresh off seeing his departure from Barcelona made official. Following a quickfire round of talks with Portuguese outfit SC Braga, the Camp Nou brass sanctioned a deal for the 23-year-old to depart on a permanent basis this weekend. As much brings to an end what was a short-lived stint for Víctor on Barcelona's books, spread between the club's reserve outfit, and first-team. Evidently, though, across this time, the Blaugrana made a deep impact on the versatile attacker from a personal standpoint. This comes with Víctor having taken to his official social media accounts, to bid a heartfelt farewell to the Spanish champions: 'Today marks the end of a chapter that has shaped my life. A chapter that has been much more than football: it has been a dream come true. First with Barça Atlètic, then with the first team… but always with the same feeling: that of a kid who grew up dreaming of wearing this shirt. Defending this badge has been an immense honor, both at the Johan and at Montjuïc, always with the pride of being part of a unique club. Because Barça is not just a club. It's a feeling that fills you, transforms you, and makes you better. Thank you to all the coaches, teammates, club staff, and fans who have accompanied me on this journey. I take with me friendships, values, lessons, and memories that I'll carry with me forever. Now I head toward new challenges, with my head held high and my heart full. With the same passion, the same commitment, and the eternal pride of having defended these colors, and a dream lived that will accompany me wherever I go. With all my gratitude, Forever a Culer.'

Diogo Jota's Wife Pens Emotional Tribute to Late Soccer Star 1 Month After Wedding

Diogo Jota's wife Rute Cardoso is paying tribute to her late husband. Just days after his wedding, the Liverpool soccer star died in a car crash on July 3 at the age of 28, alongside his 26-year-old brother, fellow pro soccer player André Silva. To mark one month since Jota and Cardoso got married, the widow penned an emotional message on Instagram on Tuesday, July 22. '1 month since our 'til death do us part,'' Cardoso wrote, adding that she was 'forever' his. In Cardoso's post, which has 1.3 million likes, she shared three photos from her wedding day. The first was a close up shot of the couple holding hands while wearing their wedding attire. The next two were of the pair romantically dancing at their reception. Jota and Cardoso, who had three children together, tied the knot on Sunday, June 22. On Instagram, Cardoso described the wedding as a "dream came true." Just a day before his death, Jota posted a wedding video on Instagram, writing in the caption: "A day we will never forget." Tragedy struck on Thursday, July 3, when Jota and Silva died in a car crash in the Spanish province of Zamora, per the BBC and Sky News. Friends, family and former teammates gathered for the brothers' funeral in their hometown of Gondoma, Portugal, on Saturday, July 5. Several of Jota's current and former Liverpool teammates, including club captain Virgil Van Dijk and manager Arne Slot, carried floral tributes in the shape of soccer jerseys into the chapel. Many other players, including Bruno Fernandes, João Cancelo, Renato Veiga, João Félix, José Fonte, Danilo and Adrien Silva, plus Roberto Martínez, the head coach of Portugal's national soccer team, were also in attendance, per ESPN. Manchester City's Bernardo Silva — who spoke at the funeral — per the U.K. outlet Express, was spotted carrying an arrangement of white flowers. Cardoso was seen trailing behind Jota and Silva's caskets while being consoled by friends and family. A large crowd also gathered outside the private church service to pay their respects.
