International award-winning Chef  Danny Lledó is the owner of the multi-dining concept Xiquet by Danny Lledo and Slate Wine Bar, which is located in the heart of Glover Park. His cooking is strongly influenced by his Mediterranean heritage. He is proud to continue the family tradition of culinary excellence, following in the footsteps of his father, who is an accomplished chef from Denia, Spain. Lledó also honed his restaurant skills working at top Spanish restaurants for José Andrés’ Think Food Group, Taberna del Alabardero and Botin (known for being the world’s oldest restaurant).

In 2013, Lledó took over management of Slate Wine Bar in the Glover Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C.  In July 2019, Lledó closed Slate Wine Bar so it could be reimagined as a fresh new wine bar destination with small plates, creative cocktails, updated décor, and an excellent assortment of fine wines.
