Biography
Early years
Sua trained in Paris, working at Le Grand Véfour and at Ze Kitchen Galerie under chef William Ledeuil, an apprenticeship that shaped his focus on vegetables and precise, elegant plating.
Career
In April 2023, Sua opened Trèsde on Cava Alta in Madrid's La Latina neighbourhood together with childhood friends Lucas Fernández (dining room) and Miguel Vallés (business side), on the former site of the tavern Matritum. The restaurant has since been awarded a Sol in the Guía Repsol and a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and Sua was a finalist for Cocinero Revelación at the 2024 Premios Metrópoli.
Philosophy
Sua has said he'd grown "un poco harto del menú degustación" (a little tired of the tasting menu), and prefers a more approachable, direct menu built as three courses, starter, main and dessert, around market produce, with vegetables treated as a starring ingredient rather than a side, sourced in part from producer Cultivo Desterrado in Cádiz.
