The chef behind a much-loved tapas restaurants in Leeds has shared what it’s been like to run the business with her husband.
Viviana Vivas opened La Taberna, an underground Spanish restaurant in York Place, with her husband Andres six years ago. It is Viviana’s third business venture. The 40-year-old, who used to work as a medical assistant in New York for many years prior, first opened her own restaurant in her home country Columbia. Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Viviana explained: “I just didn’t know what to do when I got back to Columbia. “I got lost - and food was my salvation at the time.
We like to feed people but we don't take out food straight away. We want to go slow, we want you - the guest - to not feel rushed. “That’s why it’s so good to have a place that is so small compared to the one on East Parade.” The intimate environment in La Taberna means Viviana and her husband - who works front-of-house - can really get to know their customers. Viviana said: “We’ve been doing this for so many years and we love what we do.
