The Sanchez-Iglesias family is one of the biggest names on Bristol's food scene. What started out as an Italian trattoria in 1999 was transformed into one of the city's most famous restaurants over the years.
Casamia began in Westbury-on-Trym fronted by husband and wife Sue and Paco before their sons head chef Peter and the late Jonray returned to the kitchen to take the restaurant in a new direction. It earned its first Michelin star in 2009, which it retained until its closure in 2022.
Taking the helm of the family business, Peter Sanchez-Iglesias is now the chef-founder of Casa and Paco Tapas on the site of The General Hospital as well as executive chef at Decimo. Casa opened at the end of 2022 on the site of Casamia after the restauranteur decided the venue was no longer financially viable in the current climate.
