Mexico City Restaurateur Lorea Olavarri On The Power Of Mistakes, Trust & Fair Wages
Description
We have a special episode this week coming to you from Mexico City. Today’s guest is Lorea Olavarri. Lorea is the chef, owner, and partner of three restaurants across CDMX: Nero, a pasta bar, Er Rre, a French-style bistro, and Margot, a daytime rooftop eatery offering classic French dishes. Lorea grew up between Mexico and France in a food-obsessed family. She graduated from fashion school and worked a brief stint as a jewelry designer before developing a passion for making pasta and pivoting to food full time.
Lorea joins host Abena Anim-Somuah to chat about her childhood food memories, the ins-and-outs of opening restaurants, and her dreams of staging at places like Le Bernardin in New York City.
Don’t miss Lorea’s voicemail to her future self!
