Leña, the culinary concept that revolves around the grill, technique, and top-quality ingredients, with meat as the star of the show and nods to Catalan gastronomic culture, arrives in Barcelona.
The renowned chef from Málaga, Dani García, will make his debut at the 5-star Grand Hyatt Barcelona hotel with the flames of Leña. The restaurant’s concept centers on the grill—meat and its various cooking methods take center stage—alongside the finest products, refined techniques, and references to Catalan culinary traditions.
Leña embodies the high culinary spirit of chef Dani García (recently awarded as the first Spanish chef to receive a Michelin star in Dubai with his restaurant Smoked Room). It aims to become a new haven for meat and grill enthusiasts, offering them the full experience of fire as the origin of everything, while integrating identity-defining elements and values (wood, charcoal, flames, smoke, and smoked foods) as the backbone of the concept.
The interior design maintains Leña’s essence, featuring a carefully curated, elegant, and avant-garde décor with stone and wood as the primary materials, evoking a sense of the primitive and primal. In 2021, Leña in Marbella was awarded the “Most Beautiful Restaurant in the World” by the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards. The opening of Leña in Barcelona marks the fourth iteration of this concept by Grupo Dani García, following launches in Marbella (2020), Madrid (2021), and Dubai (2023). In 2025, the brand will also arrive in Miami.
Excited about this new project, Dani García states: “We want Leña to ignite in Barcelona. I love being in this special city, which fascinates and excites me so much.”
