Now he has teamed up with Eneko to embark on a new and exciting culinary experience.

Eneko Irizar

He is always striving for better. You will feel welcome and captivated in his classes as he shares his extensive knowledge. We want you to enjoy the cooking experience as much as we do!

After studying in Luis Erizar Academy, he worked in Michelin Restaurants, Kokotxas and Alameda, worked with Eneko in Buenavista and lived two years in Philippines, where he became an expert in South East Asian Food. His passion for food is only comparable to his passion for surf. He is one of the best surfers in Zurriola! Book a class with Mimo and have a great time.
