Laxeiro

Isabel Rios started selling food on this site in 1982. Paris & Rios Delicatessen was the first food outlet of its kind at the time in the East End, turning the community and beyond onto new and exciting foods from Spain and beyond. People would come from all over London to try her food and especially her home cooking. Over time a corner of the deli where people would eat their lunch turned into a table, and this grew to two tables. Eventually Isabel opened Laxeiro along with her son, Eduardo who being brought up in the kitchen shared her passion for good food and wine. The name of the restaurant is taken from ‘El Pintor Laxeiro’ an artist from the same village in Lalin, Galicia as Isabel.
