Anna Cabrera, a native of Barcelona, has worked, lived, breathed and partied in Dublin for the last 20 years and comes with a wealth of ideas and experience in what a true tapas bar should be. For Anna, food is her life. Her passion for food dates back to cooking in the kitchen with her grandmother and working in her aunt’s bar as a kid in Spain. Vanessa Murphy had always dreamed of opening a tapas bar. Born, bred and buttered in Dublin, she studied Spanish many years ago in Trinity College and has spent over 30 years travelling to and from Spain in search of the perfect tapa. As locals to the Wexford Street-Camden Street area in Dublin, their plan was to open a place that they would like to visit with their own friends and families – to create an atmosphere that’s inviting, fun and down to earth. Their restaurant, Las Tapas de Lola, is a place where people can feel at home, relaxed and enjoy their food. @lastapasdelola
