IBERIA RESTAURANT- OUR HISTORY- DRIVING DIRECTIONS-Menlo Park, CaliforniaTel. 1-650-325-8981

OUR HISTORY: Born in Seville and raised in Barcelona, Jose Luis Relinque move to
California at the age of twenty. By the age of thirty, the charismatic, self-taught young chef
opened his first restaurant - the ground breaking and critically-acclaimed Spanish Restaurante
Iberia in Portola Valley, near the heart of Silicon Valley.

To keep the Spanish experience fresh and contemporary, Jose Luis frequently visits Spain
and always brings back plenty of antedotes to enhance every dish in his repertoire of recipes.

After sixteen years in Portola Valley, Iberia moved to a new home in Menlo Park in late
August 2000.The new restaurant features a glorious patio shaded by an ancient oak, a cozy
bar de tapas with a wood-burning fire, a colorful and romantic dining room, a wood-paneled banquet
room with private patio, and the wine library: a second -story glass -fronted wine room that houses the
15,000 bottle collection of Spanish and Californian red wines. Besides having won the
prestigious Wine Spectator Magazine's Award of Excellence, Iberia boasts the most
comprehensive collection of fine Spanish wines in the entire United States.

In the Spring of 2001 Iberia opened The Rockof Gibraltar Comestibles , a retail food
store offering all of Iberias's favorite dishes "to go", as well as the largest resource for imported
Spanish food products in Northern California. The Rock also has cooking programs that are
hands-on and allow students free run of Iberia's kitchens. Conveniently, T he Rock is located
next just next door to Iberia.
