Jesús Sánchez, born in Navarre, and Cantabrian by adoption, has the soul of a cook and the hands of an artist.
Since 1993 he has been the founder and chef of Cenador de Amós, in the tiny village of Villaverde de Pontones.
Thanks to his genius, he has firmly placed this small Cantabrian village of barely 350 inhabitants on the international gastronomic map; as recognized by his remarkable achievement of 3 Michelin stars, a further green star for sustainable gastronomy, and 3 Repsol suns.

With an extraordinarily extensive background, his innate curiosity, and his gifted creativity, Jesús Sánchez is an alchemist in the kitchen.
The chef has a restless inventiveness that drives him constantly to develop and refine his knowledge and craft that has led to Jesús Sánchez reaching a defining moment in his career. Professional commentators recognize him as a remarkable Chef and the embodiment of Spanish gastronomy.
In November 2021, Jesús Sánchez started a new chapter in his career, with the creation of Amós restaurant in Madrid, at the emblematic Rosewood Villa Magna hotel.
