Enrique Iglesias team up with Rafael Nadal to open restaurant

Singer Enrique Iglesias and tennis star Rafael Nadal have partnered together with basketball player Pau Gasol and businessman Abel Matutes Prats to open Spanish restaurant chain.

The restaurant brand will be named as Tatel, reports Eater.

"The food of our country is very famous, there are many Spanish restaurants but none have tried to become the reference at a national or even international level," a spokesperson aware of the development said, reports people.com.

The flagship Tatel will be operational from March, and will be 800 square meters, decked out in 1920s-inspired decor.

However, Tatel Ibiza is set to open in 2016 and is looking to expand to Barcelona, London, and Las Vegas.
