A graduate of the Culinary School of Cabmbrils in Spain and Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Miami, Chef Zamora brings more than 25 years of culinary experience to Paradise Wine.

Chef Zamora developed his passion and appreciation for cooking while working in his family’s restaurant while growing up in Spain. He started his career as a sous chef for the Restaurant Monte Velez in Granada Spain, before moving to the U.S., where he has worked for highly regarded brands in hospitality and culinary arts in Miami, New York and Southwest Florida.

At Paradise Wine, Chef Zamora has created a new menu that celebrates the diversity of his culinary talents and showcases his Mediterranean heritage. Among the featured items is Zamora’s Lobster Roll, a sweet succulent lobster wrapped in leek, topped with key lime beurre blanc with caviar. Pan-seared scallops with truffle mashed potatoes with lemon ginger aioli with red caviar, a five cheese board and charcuterie board complete the featured items. A spicy chorizo flatbread; an international flatbread topped with artichokes, cremini mushrooms, Manchego, goat cheese and truffle oil; and a fig, prosciutto flatbread are among the hot tapas items offered. A variety of cold tapas and fresh salads with house-made dressings are also offered. The menu is offered from 4-10 p.m. daily.
