Happy International Croquette Day! On January 16, is a date dedicated to one of the most popular and versatile dishes in world gastronomy. Originating in France in the 18th century, croquettes made their way to Spain through French culinary influence and quickly became a typical snack. This day celebrates not only the delicious taste of croquettes but also their history, tradition, and their ability to adapt to an infinite variety of ingredients and combinations.

While the classic croquette is made with a creamy béchamel and some type of meat, such as chicken or ham, it has evolved in many cultures. Nowadays, it is common to find vegetarian, seafood, and even more innovative versions with ingredients like truffle or cheese. Croquettes know no boundaries; they adapt to local tastes and are a symbol of “leftover” cuisine.

This day also highlights the importance of homemade food and the culinary tradition passed down through generations. In many countries, croquettes are the star dish of family dinners, celebrations, or tapas in bars and restaurants. The crispy exterior and soft interior are irresistible, and their versatility makes them suitable for any occasion.  

In addition to being a perfect excuse to enjoy a great croquette, International Croquette Day invites us to reflect on the cultural richness behind each recipe and appreciate the value of life’s small pleasures.

Dani García’s Croquettes

Dani García, one of the most renowned chefs in Spanish gastronomy, has elevated croquettes to a unique level of sophistication in his restaurants. Known for his creative and avant-garde approach, García reinvents this classic dish using high-quality ingredients and innovative techniques. Some of his standout croquettes include those filled with ham, shrimp, or roasted chicken.

If you want to try Dani García’s croquettes, you can visit his restaurants in Marbella, Madrid, and Barcelona, across all his brands: BiBo, Leña, Lobito de Mar, and Tragabuches. All of them feature this crowd-pleasing dish, and the chef’s croquettes will leave no one indifferent.

After a summer full of sun, beaches, and endless days, September welcomes us with open arms, bringing us back to the routine and the hustle and bustle of everyday life in Madrid. The streets of the capital are once again filled with that characteristic buzz, with Madrileños returning to their daily activities, schools reopening, and, of course, the eagerness to once again enjoy the city’s fine cuisine. In this return to normalcy, food plays a key role: it comforts us, gives us energy, and helps us face each day with a smile.

One of the best secrets to easing back to the routine in Madrid is discovering or rediscovering those culinary spots that offer us a respite.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and Tragabuches knows this very well.
