Month: July 2025

Smoked Room moves to Copenhagen for a very special pop-up. The award-winning Madrid restaurant with two Michelin stars, which also has a second location in Dubai, arrives in Copenhagen for the first time for an exclusive residency in the gardens of the legendary Tivoli Park.

From July 18 to August 20, acclaimed chef Dani García will plant his flag in one of the world’s culinary capitals, with Massimiliano Delle Vedove, head chef of Smoked Room Madrid, leading the kitchen. The team will take over the iconic Japanese Pagoda, a space that has previously hosted culinary stars such as Paco Morales, Poul Andrias Ziska, Alejandro Serrano, and Ana Roš, to offer an intimate and sophisticated dining experience that pays homage to fire, smoke, and the purity of ingredients. It is the highest expression of Dani García’s cuisine, blending his Andalusian roots with a Japanese spirit.

With two tasting menus of strong contemporary character, Smoked Room promises to captivate Danish diners with an intense, refined, and technical culinary style, widely regarded as one of the most unique in Spain.

During this residency, two versions of the Omakase menu will be available—one for lunch and one for dinner—each offering a carefully orchestrated sequence of dishes:

Omakase Menu – Lunch

• Red miso butter and dried yeast with brioche bread
• Oyster with ceviche dashi
• Danish “Skagenreje” shrimp, brown butter, and yuzu kosho
• Roasted tomato nectar, cherry tomatoes, and currants
• Smoked eel, nitro tomato, roasted red pepper caramel, and Málaga ajoblanco
• Grilled mahogany clams, tosazu beurre blanc, and fresh wasabi
• Grilled bluefin tuna jowl, pork jus, and N25 smoked caviar
• Dry-aged duck, black mole, and sweet corn risotto
• Sake lees with vanilla
• Chocolate, barley miso, and smoke

Omakase Menu – Dinner

Includes all the lunch dishes, plus a special addition:

• Steamed scampi “no sakamushi” with smoked mayonnaise

Additional dishes available for both services:

• Grilled Kagoshima A5 Wagyu, 34-year soy sauce, and wasabi
• Smoked risotto with N25 caviar

All dishes are accompanied by bespoke wine pairings curated by award-winning sommelier Luis Baselga.

The original Madrid restaurant, with just 14 seats, was awarded two Michelin stars only six months after opening — an unprecedented achievement. It represents the most introspective and minimalist side of Dani García’s creative universe.

The setting for this residency could only be the magical Tivoli Gardens, one of Copenhagen’s most iconic locations since 1843. With its fairytale architecture, lush gardens, and enchanting atmosphere, Tivoli provides the perfect stage for this exclusive culinary experience that celebrates excellence, elegance, and the emotional power of food.

“At Smoked Room, we see smoke as more than a technique: it’s an element that enhances flavor, depth, and emotion in every dish. Diners can expect an intimate and sensory culinary journey, where fire and embers shape a menu that is both refined and surprising.”
— Massimiliano Delle Vedove, Head Chef

Some things just taste like summer. And then there’s the rice at Lobito de Mar. If you’re wondering where to eat rice in Marbella or Madrid, this is the place. Here, the Mediterranean sneaks into every grain. Into every pan. Into every spoonful. A rice that speaks of the sea, of fire, and of a cuisine best enjoyed in good company, with laughter, under the sun, or with a glass in hand.

Because there’s rice… and then there’s rice. But at Lobito de Mar, there are dishes that stay with you. The kind you already want to eat again before you even finish the plate. Whether in Marbella or Madrid, this is a temple for those looking for more than just rice. This is where the journey begins.

Dry rices: the taste of fire and summer

There’s something truly special about a well-made dry rice. That moment when the bottom crisps into a perfect crust. That aroma that hits your nose and stays there. At Lobito de Mar, the dry rices make a bold statement.

T-Bone of Almadraba tuna rice is pure daring. A dish where sea and fire meet. The boldness of tuna made unforgettable. Then there’s the classic: the fish and seafood rice, like a miniature sea on a plate. Packed with flavour, texture, and that rich base that makes you close your eyes.

Perfect to eat rice in Marbella after a morning at the beach. Or to enjoy on a sunny terrace in Madrid while forgetting the world.

Sarmiento-smoked rices: fire, smoke and soul

Some rices you never forget. And then there are the sarmiento-smoked rices at Lobito. Cooked over vine shoot embers, they absorb that unmistakable smoky aroma. Intense. Unique. Full of soul.

Coquelet chicken rice is a refined twist on a traditional favourite. The Iberian pork rib and mushroom rice feels like a walk through the mountains. The smoked eel, lardo, and crispy nori rice is pure fantasy, it could be Japanese, but it tastes unmistakably Andalusian. And the most indulgent of all, the beef chop rice, is bold, juicy, and perfect for sharing.

In Madrid, over a long lunch with friends. Or in Marbella, after a sun-soaked morning. Eating rice in Madrid or by the coast has never been this exciting.

Creamy rices: spoonfuls of comfort

Creamy rices are like a warm hug. Smooth, rich, and full of depth. Each spoonful takes you somewhere else. Add seafood, and it gets even better.

The Sanlúcar prawn rice with black trumpet mushrooms blends the best of the sea and the forest. Pure harmony. The Huelva red shrimp version also features those earthy mushrooms, but with a more intense marine flavour. And a true crowd favourite: the lobster rice, a timeless classic. Indulgent, powerful, and unforgettable.

Perfect for those who crave more than just rice. For those who see summer as a string of shared dishes. For those who know life is best savoured slowly.

Eating rice in Marbella and Madrid, all year round

Whether it’s August or November, it doesn’t matter. At Lobito de Mar, rice has no season. It tastes like the sea in Marbella. Like a warm memory in Madrid. And above all, it tastes like Dani García. His vision of cuisine. That balance between tradition and the unexpected.

Eating rice in Marbella or Madrid is not just an excuse — it’s a plan. A plan that smells of firewood, that’s served in a pan, and that starts with a drink and ends with a smile.

Where will you be eating rice this summer? At Lobito de Mar, of course.

Eight countries, one imaginary passport, and no suitcase required. That’s the new menu at BiBo Madrid—landing just in time to eat your way through summer without taking off. No visa needed here, just an appetite. Because Eight Countries isn’t just any menu—it’s a trip around the world that starts in July and ends with rice pudding. Summer’s here and you’ve got no plans? Now you do: head to BiBo, take a seat, and eat your way across the globe in under two hours.

The world fits on a table

The Eight Countries menu has no long layovers, no overbooking—just flavor. You walk into BiBo Madrid and, before you know it, you’re in Mexico. Then Peru. Then Japan… and suddenly, you’re dipping bread in Spain. All without leaving your seat. No tour guide, but yes to freshly made guacamole. And crispy prawns that whisper “bonjour” with the very first bite.

The best part? No passport needed. Just a craving for something new. And if all the hopping around makes you nervous, don’t worry—Italy shows up at the end to bring some order. Pasta with crispy pork belly. Can’t explain it. Just try it.

BiBo has that special power: turning a meal into a stroll through half the planet. But without airport stress—and with air conditioning.

The trick is: don’t overthink it

Some people freeze up when they see a long menu. Not here. Eight Countries is already decided for you. You sit down, say “yes,” and that’s it. It’s like a tasting menu without the formalities. A dish arrives, you try it. You love it. Another one comes. You love it more. And so on, until dessert.

The trick is to go with the flow. Ceviche? Brioche? Tuna tartare? Don’t ask—just chew. And if a Russian salad with quail egg shows up, smile. The world fits in a single dish here.

BiBo Madrid isn’t asking you to study the menu like it’s a final exam. Just enjoy it like you’re on Erasmus—without leaving your seat. And when you think you can’t eat another bite, India shows up. With rice pudding, of course. But not the one you’re picturing. Creamier, cooler, more… BiBo.

Summer, food, and laughter: the unbeatable combo

Summer calls for terraces, cool drinks, and a menu that makes you smile. BiBo has all of that. The new Eight Countriesmenu is made so you forget about the heat and talk about food instead—way more fun.

And if you bring friends, even better. This is a menu made for sharing. Every dish sparks a comment. The last bite becomes a battle. Toasts are made for no reason. BiBo brings the menu—you bring the party.

Some people chase the beach in July. You? Go find a table. Ceviche’s cooler than a fan, and brioche brings more joy than a beach bar.

The best part is walking out feeling like you’ve traveled the world—without leaving your neighborhood. Now that’s sustainable travel. And no jet lag.

Eight countries, one place

One thing’s for sure: this summer, the Eight Countries menu at BiBo Madrid is going places. So don’t overthink it. Starting July 7, every plate holds a new corner of the world.

You don’t need a degree in international cuisine to get it. Just show up hungry. And if you end your meal saying “that was amazing,” mission accomplished. You’ve gone around the world—and come back better.

Suitcase? Nope. Passport? Not necessary. A reservation at BiBo? Essential. Because this summer, the journey begins with your taste buds.

At Tragabuches, we’re about to take a new turn. An elegant one, deeply Andalusian and with the flavor of the land. Tradition, KM0 and Andalusian flavor: this is how Tragabuches reinvents itself.

Starting July 9 in Marbella and July 16 in Madrid, we’re saying goodbye (just a little) to the traditional menu. But Andalucía, local ingredients and soulful recipes remain the true stars.

A journey back to our roots, without leaving the table

Tragabuches was born to pay tribute to who we are. To the olive oil that tastes like sunshine. To the tomatoes that smell like garden. And to the stew that begins with a slow-cooked sofrito. Because luxury lies in simplicity. In freshly baked bread. In cold gazpacho that tastes like childhood. And in that stew that smells like grandma’s kitchen.

So, who was Tragabuches?

For those who don’t know, Tragabuches isn’t just a name with flair. He was a bandolero. A true man of the mountains. A bullfighter, a flamenco singer, and a fugitive. Legend has it he killed for love, fled for passion, and lived singing along the roads. A legendary figure. Andalusian through and through. And if there’s something about him that inspires us, it’s not the crimes. It’s the authenticity. The freedom. The way he lived without asking permission. That’s how we cook here. Tragabuches is not just another restaurant. It’s a living tribute to Andalucía. To its history, its land and its way of gathering around the table.

The blackboard of the day: fresh, light, and with a southern soul

At Tragabuches, summer is written in chalk. And it tastes like the sea. Every day, our menu is refreshed with light, vibrant and flavorful dishes. No heavy meals or endless stews. Here, you come to eat well without sacrificing that summer feeling. With recipes that cool you down and ingredients straight from the port or the farm. The blackboard sets the rhythm. It changes depending on what the market offers, on what shines brightest at the fish market that morning. Because if there’s one thing we love at Tragabuches, it’s cooking what’s in season, when it’s at its best. And always with that subtle Andalusian touch. Light, but full of soul. Tragabuches reinvents itself through simplicity. Through product. Through tradition. KM0 and Andalusian flavor, served with elegance and a smile.

Fine dining with a backyard soul

Our guests are demanding. They appreciate great food. But they also seek authenticity. And that’s exactly what we serve. This new chapter isn’t any less sophisticated. Quite the opposite. It’s a luxury that doesn’t need to show off. A kind of elegance that comes from the land. Because that’s what Tragabuches has always been: a place where tradition is dressed in something new. But always with its Andalusian accent intact.

Andalucía, one bite at a time

This new concept is, above all, a love letter. To our land. To its flavors. And to the people who grow, fish, and create them. Every bite carries a piece of Andalucía. Every dish tells a story. And every day, that story changes just a little. Because tradition, KM0 and Andalusian flavor: this is how Tragabuches reinvents itself.

If you’re looking for a different kind of getaway, then camping in Tarifa is for you. Great weather, fresh air, endless beaches, good food and options for all tastes. No need for a tent here. You can sleep comfortably, in style, and surrounded by nature. And if you love to eat well, you’re in the perfect place. Because between the countryside and the sea, there’s also great food.

Sleeping in the Breña cabin

Taiga Tarifa offers several options, but the Breña cabin is one of the most comfortable. All wood, well-built and comes with its own terrace. It has a double bed, private bathroom, and a decent-pressure shower — which is always appreciated after a beach day or a hike. The setting is peaceful, with trees, shade and open sky views. Perfect for unplugging. If you’re coming as a couple or just want some peace, this cabin is a great choice. It’s camping in Tarifa, but with comfort.

Day plan: waves and trails

Tarifa has everything. You can hit the beach, go kitesurfing or walk until your legs say no. Then head back to the cabin to rest. Los Lances beach is just around the corner. White sand, strong wind and clear water. Bring a sunshade, or you’ll end up cooked.

If you’re not into the sun, explore the trails in the Breña Natural Park. Easy walks, pine trees and that fresh forest smell. You can also rent a bike or try paddleboarding. Everyone’s on the move here. If you’re bored, it’s on you.

The key to camping in Tarifa is mixing calm and activity. Morning beach, afternoon walk, evening chill. That’s it.

Eating at BiBo Tarifa

Just five minutes away by car is BiBo Tarifa. If you don’t feel like cooking or lighting up a barbecue, this spot has you covered. A meal at BiBo will turn your day around. Great service, great vibe and a terrace you won’t want to leave. It’s the perfect end to your camping in Tarifa plan.

BiBo Tarifa offers a complete package: four nights in the Breña cabin plus lunch or dinner for two at the restaurant. A no-brainer plan.

Tips to keep it smooth

Wear comfy clothes. Tarifa gets hot during the day and cooler at night. At BiBo Tarifa, we’re ready with cool hoodies if you need one.

Most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy. Sounds like a coffee mug quote, but it’s true here. Beach, nap, dinner, repeat. That’s all you need.

Camping in Tarifa gives you what you’re looking for when you want to get away without going far. Fresh air, beautiful spots, good food and zero pressure. And if you can sleep in the Breña cabin and eat at BiBo Tarifa, even better.

When the heat hits, there’s nothing like a good summer recipes by Grupo Dani García. And if there’s one thing Leña, Lobito de Mar, Tragabuches and BiBo have in common, it’s that they know how to embrace the summer season. Light, fresh and flavour-packed dishes.

Fresh is the new green

At BiBo Madrid, there’s a salad made with watermelon, tuna and crispy kale that’s refreshing, crunchy, dressed with a ponzu touch. Perfect to kick things off. If you’re in BiBo Tarifa, go for the bipolar tuna tartare with white soy. And while you’re at it, don’t miss the ceviche—zesty, delicate, and more refreshing than a fan pointed straight at your face.

At Leña, even in summer, you eat with gusto. The grilled Málaga avocado comes with young coriander pesto and a vegetable salpicón with feta cheese. There’s also a lovely tomato salad with green olive juice and mint. And for dessert? The “Espejismo” of stewed peach with basil, yogurt ice cream and orange zest.

At Lobito de Mar, if you’re not ordering rice, you’re missing out. The Coquelet chicken rice is a classic, and the lobster one is simply unmissable. No need to complicate things. A good stock, perfect doneness and real seafood. That’s how summer should be enjoyed.

Cold soups with personality

At Tragabuches, gazpacho isn’t red. It’s pink. The cherry version steals the show—cool, tangy, sweet, and finished with a drizzle of good olive oil. You can also go for the ever-reliable salmorejo. In summer, your body craves things like this. Cold soups, light and flavourful—textbook summer recipes packed with fruit, vegetables and freshness.

A sweet but light ending

After so many delicious dishes, it’s time for something chilled. At Tragabuches, there are always desserts to slow things down without knocking you out. The cheesecake is a timeless favourite.

At BiBo, there’s the Marbella sun—a dessert full of orange blossom, Marcona almond purée and orange cream that takes you straight to an Andalusian garden. Or head to Lobito de Mar and try the iconic Happy Hippo—fresh, sweet and creamy. Just the right note to end on a smile. And at Leña, the Tarta di Rose with ice cream is the perfect match for the heat of the grill.

Because yes, even desserts have their summer version. Lighter, fresher and, above all, easier to enjoy.
