The story behind Marquesa, a deli restaurant focusing on global cuisine, stems from a fortuitous meeting of two friends who shared a mutual understanding of dining as a blend of well-executed food and close hospitality. Their vision led to the establishment of a restaurant that prioritizes not just the quality of the dishes but also the connection between the kitchen and the dining experience. They committed to creating a dining environment that is neither fast-paced nor distant, emphasizing a personal touch.

Since opening its first location in August 2025 at Alhambra Shopping, the restaurant has been able to test its operational model in a real service context. This included refining the menu, adjusting portion sizes, and creating a workflow that allows for flexibility throughout various dining times. The active involvement of the partners in daily operations has become a distinguishing feature of Marquesa, setting it apart from other dining establishments.
