Tarifa, a beautiful Cádiz town located on the southern coast of Spain, right on the southernmost point of the European continent. With a rich history, beautiful beaches, and delicious gastronomy, Tarifa is the perfect destination for those looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and the opportunity to immerse themselves in Andalusian culture.

One of Tarifa’s biggest attractions are its beaches, which are famous for their beauty and for being ideal for water sports such as kitesurfing and windsurfing. The beaches of Los Lances and Valdevaqueros are the most popular, while the small beach of Bolonia is famous for its impressive dunes and Roman archaeological site.

The town itself has a wealth of interesting places to visit, including its historic quarter which is full of narrow cobbled streets, historic buildings, and small craft shops. The Torre de Guzman, a 13th century fortification at the southern end of the town, which is also a must-see.

Tarifa’s gastronomy is a delicious blend of Mediterranean and Andalusian flavours, with dishes such as red Almadraba tuna, Tarifa cabbage, chicharrón de Cádiz and tortillitas de camarones (shrimp omelettes). In addition, the region’s wines are famous for their quality and unique flavour.

For those looking for outdoor activities in the vicinity of Tarifa, there are numerous options. For example, the Alcornocales Natural Park offers hiking trails and bird watching, while the Strait of Gibraltar is the ideal place to go whale watching and see whales and dolphins in their natural habitat.

BiBo Beach House, Dani García

Since 2019, Tarifa has the most coastal BiBo of all. Dani García’s beach restaurant with more rhythm brings the travelling cuisine to the beach of Valdevaqueros. A varied menu with his classics and top hits such as the oxtail brioche and the marinated whole fried sea bass. You can’t miss the “Nutella to Die For” and the delicious cocktails on the menu.

When lunch is over, the chill out area is the best complement to enjoy the most special afternoon. The most intimate and spectacular sunset in Tarifa is from BiBo with the sun falling over the dune of Valdevaqueros. 

In short, Tarifa is an ideal holiday destination for those looking for an authentic experience of Andalusian culture, beautiful beaches, delicious gastronomy, and outdoor activities. With so many interesting things to do and see, it is no wonder that Tarifa has become one of the most popular destinations on the southern coast of Spain.

The good thing about the arrival of the good weather is that the days get longer. The outdoor get-togethers with friends begin. And the long weekends also begin, like the Easter long weekend. A perfect time to enjoy, travel and get out of the house with no curfew. 

In between plans such as going to see museums, musicals, shopping or spending a few hours on the beach, you always have to make time to eat. During these days there are many gastronomic options. Whether you are in Marbella, Madrid or Tarifa. You may fancy a pizza from Alelí, the best embers of Leña, enjoy the best Japanese cuisine at Kemuri, sail the sea at Lobito de Mar or the trips of BiBo Dani García. Cuisine and menus for all tastes and days of the week. There are no excuses, only desire. 

Tragabuches Marbella’s Andalusian late-night snack.

Togetherness is strength. And enjoying yourself with friends and family revitalizes everyone. These days of Easter with public holidays and a very special weekend, the terrace lounge of Tragabuches has prepared  the best after lunch or pre-dinner evening for you . 

Music, special atmosphere and the best company to enjoy a fun evening in Marbella. 

By the way, don’t forget that you can also have breakfast in Dani García’s most Andalusian space from 9:30am to 11:30am from Monday to Sunday. 

Thursday and Friday start the day with brunch in Madrid

Holidays are for enjoying and celebrating. Go for a walk, go to the cinema or have a drink with friends. In the Dani García Group we don’t forget the start of the day and we suggest you start the day in style, with brunch at Leña or BiBo Madrid.

The first of them inaugurated just over a month ago and with embers as a nexus of union throughout its menu. For €45 per person, enjoy Leña’s best-known starters, choose a New York-inspired main course and finish with the sweetest touch. A unique and fiery experience for an unforgettable long weekend. 

BiBo is well-known in Madrid. A success that every week makes the people of Madrid enjoy the start of the day in style. For 39€ per person, very BiBo starters, a main course to remember and the best ice cream in the world for dessert.

In spring the leaves sprout, the temperatures rise, and the flowers open tinting the atmosphere of colour and joy. Likewise, BiBo has returned to Marbella treading hard and eager to create a magical atmosphere on the Costa del Sol. The most travelled and cosmopolitan concept of the Marbella chef has returned to the place where he was born; the emblematic brand of the chef, who has managed to get the heart of different cities, including Madrid, London or Doha, has returned to its premises of Puente Romano with a proposal of a more exquisite elaboration, but maintaining as always, its seal.

The coast of Marbella, which dreamed of BiBo’s return, can finally enjoy its cuisine from Saturday, April 1 with the successful restaurant that launches new image and some change in menu. As a main novelty, the concept will also be present in the epicentre of Puente Romano; diners can settle into La Plaza de Puente Romano while tasting the BiBo universe through a menu with some of the most emblematic bites of the Marbella chef. In a magical place located next to the Mediterranean and a lively atmosphere, this proposal will be available from Monday to Sunday from 19:30 until midnight.

Dani García also renews BiBo with a novel formula that maintains its essence thanks to a menu that offers a wide variety of cuisine. Elaborations that are the fruit of their trips and that are inspired by different culinary cultures such as the pulled bull tail brioche with sheets of mushrooms, arugula and the famous DG sauce; Robuchon crispy prawns from Sanlúcar wrapped in fresh basil or Nutella to die, a dessert made from Nutella ice cream covered in popcorn and hazelnuts with creamy caramel, coconut cake and lemon jam. Also, creations such as the three fillets of La Cónsula with its three sauces, consisting of Iberian acorn tenderloin with pepper sauce, venison with Malaga wine and veal roasted with mustard, or rigatoni stuffed with chicken, truffle, and foie. The chef wanted to bring together in this way his most adventurous creations in a new menu that discovers the most special flavours and defends the essence of the concept.

In parallel, on the coast of Cadiz, where the smells of nature and the sea are mixed with a fun atmosphere, a new season begins the summer version of the Marbella chef, BiBo Beach House in Tarifa, which also comes with some new features. The beach of Valdevaqueros will welcome again the proposal of BiBo, which will put rhythm and flavour to the days of beach and heat from the beginning of April to September so that visitors can enjoy an extraordinary atmosphere while watching the sun set over the Atlantic.

To top it off, in this paradisiacal environment BiBo Beach House offers the possibility to practice water sports at the Ion Club BiBo Tarifa School, located next to the restaurant. It is a water  sports school in which its customers can start in typical water sports of the area such as surfing. The ideal option to complete a day at the beach on the coast of Tarifa with good food, relaxation and sport. 

Dani García’s projects continue to sprout and transform, just as flowers do in spring. It is a reality that BiBo has become the most international concept of the Andalusian chef, the proposal that has replicas in other cities has managed to bring around the world a level of dining experience with a relaxed and traveling style that is reflected in the most unexpected and unique flavours and products.

“It’s addictive and that’s why I dream of everyone being able to try this sauce”. Just a few years ago, Dani García shared his impression of Bull Sauce with his community of followers, a condiment that has made some of his most emblematic dishes recognizable.

Firm in his desire to take his flavours and creations to all parts of the world, the Marbella chef has taken another step towards the democratization of his cuisine, and on this occasion, the secret is in the sauce. In collaboration with Carrefour, Dani García is bringing his Bull sauce to everyone’s fingertips for the first time. From now on, it will be available in more than200 of the companies’ supermarkets in three versions: original, gluten free and vegetarian.

Fundamental in its restaurants

Also known as Dani García’s “secret sauce”, this dressing forms part of some of the Andalusian chef’s most iconic dishes and meat bites. These include the oxtail brioche and the Bull Burger from BiBo, his most travelled concept; the burger that made sense of it all from Leña, his concept inspired by embers and smoke; or the Rossini burger from Dani Brasserie, his cosmopolitan and casual proposal at the Four Seasons Hotel Madrid. 

As of a few weeks ago you can not only enjoy it in the chef’s restaurants, but also at home with this new launch.

We missed you! In March 2023, BiBo returns to its origins in Puente Romano after a year without brioche on the Costa del Sol.

Dani García means BiBo, which was his first ”pret a porter” restaurant. In 2019, he took the well-considered decision, amidst the anger of his loved ones, to close the three Michelin-starred Dani García Restaurant, a year after achieving his third Michelin star.  

Our chef wanted to make his cuisine more accessible, for all audiences, he was tired of haute cuisine, and his aim was to grow in the world, something that four years later he could prove he had achieved.

Let’s talk a little about BiBo’s journey over the years.

From Marbella to the world

In April 2014 it was inaugurated in Marbella. After five years, in 2019, BiBo Madrid was born, located on the border between the Chamberí and the Salamanca neighborhood, close to the American Embassy. Everything in the premises refers to the many places Dani García has visited, dominated by a hot air balloon that acts as an umbrella for the 800-metre bar.

In 2019 he travelled to Tarifa and brought out his surfing side with BiBo Beach House. The restaurant is built on a large wooden platform and has a covered and glazed area to placate the effects of the east wind. The exterior decoration gives an ecological and seafaring personality with the remains of boat sails. The central part of the room is dominated by a giant tuna hanging from the ceiling. It also has a bar and DJ booth. In addition, Dani García has created in Valdevaqueros BiBo Watersport, a water sports school.

In 2020, he took a giant step forward and took a plane to travel abroad, specifically to Doha, located in the luxury hotel St. Regis Doha, with a shorter format and a concept adapted to local customers, with the use of spices, almonds, honey and saffron, but maintaining its essence with the most classic dishes of the restaurant. In addition, the restaurant in the Qatari city is recreated through the ambience and decoration.

His last destination outside our borders was in 2021, when he landed in London, specifically at the Mondrian Shoreditch London Hotel, with his interpretation of Spanish flavor’s renewed, but maintaining the essence of a cosmopolitan restaurant. The chef’s aim was to bring together dishes that his gastronomic memory has accumulated during his trips in Spain and abroad.

Successors of BiBo

From 2014 until today, BiBo has been followed by new brands with different concepts. In 2017 Lobito de Mar was born in Marbella, a restaurant that revolves around seafood and that two years later travelled to Madrid; in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, Leña Marbella opened as a ”steak house”, which a year later was welcomed by the people of Madrid. 

Last year, 2022, was a year of openings for Dani García in Marbella starting with Alelí, which opened in the city as the chef’s first Italian concept, followed by Kemuri, and its Japanese cuisine, and ending the year with Tragabuches in September, which brought back the chef’s roots with its Andalusian concept and KM.0 cuisine.

BiBo and its menu

In BiBo’s menu you can find the Russian salad with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and tuna belly, and naturally the famous oxtail Brioche as well as its ”Oyster & Raw Bar” section where it offers a variety of raw dishes, tatakis, tartars and oysters.

Throughout all these years, BiBo has seen great love stories, friends who toast for what they have experienced and what is yet to come, birthdays, farewells… and is looking forward to sharing the most important moments of your lives with you again.

After winning over the palates of Ibiza’s locals and visitors alike last summer, chef Dani García is back in the Balearic Islands for another summer with BiBo Ibiza Bay, his most cosmopolitan project, overlooking Talamanca beach, which opened on 26 May for a new season on the island. As with the other BiBo restaurants, the Ibiza venue provides a relaxed and cosmopolitan take on some unexpected flavours and products. A culinary venture that will delight locals and visitors alike, taking you on a journey round every part of the island, through the most lively and very BiBo culinary style.

Combining the Málaga chef’s imagination and creativity with the concept of a brasserie, tapas bar and steak house, this most cosmopolitan project by the Dani García Group has once again opened its doors in Ibiza and its culinary delights are something not to be missed this summer. The menu brings together the culinary memories that Dani García has gathered as a result of his travels, and BiBo has already triumphed in cities such as Madrid, London, Tarifa and Doha.

The coolest vibe

The relaxed luxury vibe of Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay is once again the perfect place for BiBo Ibiza Bay, as one of the most attractive culinary places to head for, with Nobu and the Chambao beach bar. On this occasion, the new BiBo Ibiza Bay season will include a more authentic menu, where local and market produce will feature heavily. As part of this particular “travel guide”, Dani García takes inspiration from some of his mentors, such as Joël Robuchon, to prepare some of the restaurant’s most emblematic dishes. This means the people of Ibiza can enjoy BiBo’s most iconic dishes, such as the famous oxtail brioche and the fried hake, in a unique setting on the shores of the Mediterranean.The restaurant is open daily from 7pm.

Tarifa, in the south of Cádiz province. A town of light and charm that seduces all who visit. The most idyllic beaches in Andalusia, with fine sand, crystal-clear water and a reputation as the best in Spain. Perfect for spending a day in the sun or enjoying water sports with other devotees – surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, paddle boarding, etc.

Tarifa is a town where it’s easy to make all kinds of plans to ensure you make the most of its culture, food and entertainment options. Your day might start with a good Mediterranean breakfast of toast, coffee and orange juice, so you’ll be all set for a wander round the town, which should always include a visit to the Guzmán El Bueno castle, one of the best preserved fortresses in Andalusia. It was built in 960 by the caliph, Abd-ar-Rahman III, though it bears the name of the Christian governor, Guzmán El Bueno, who defended the city during the Christian invasion of 1294.

You’ll then be free to take stroll around the town’s shops and bars, and enjoy an aperitif and a wonderful bite of net-caught tuna from Barbate, another charming town that’s not far from Tarifa.

If you’re a water sports lover, there are plenty of surf schools that can provide whatever gear you need, or get you started with individual lessons in surfing or kitesurfing, among others.

All of this comes before experiencing the most magical sunset on the dunes at Valdevaqueros. They’re the kind of sunsets you remember for the rest of the year and think of every chilly winter’s evening as you listen to some chill-out. Don’t forget to grab a selfie with the sunset in the background – when the winter cold starts to bite, you’ll thank us for this bit of influencer advice.

The day draws to a close with good times among family and friends – a culinary evening that will continue to take you on your travels, this time around the world, with the tastes and flavours of cities and cultures that the chef, Dani García, has discovered in the different parts of the world he’s been to. BiBo Beach House, better known as BiBo Tarifa, will take you to each and every one of them through its carefully curated menu, adapted to the Tarifa style, with exclusive dishes to match its particular Cádiz brasserie style, together with some truly fabulous cocktails.

Chef Dani García, a 3-star Michelin chef from Spain, and one of the highly acclaimed Andalusian chefs in the world, will be launching a special Paella Fashion Weekend menu from 5 to 7 February at his recently opened at The St. Regis Hotel.

Chef Dani Garcia, along with his award-winning executive chefs will be joining BiBo Doha guests firsthand to present this unique experience. Spending many weekends making Paellas for his family in Marbella, Garcia is known to have accumulated his own secrets of how to make this perfect Spanish dish.

This once off Paella menu will offer a choice of paella, such as the Paella de Pollo Coquelette served with Cornfed baby chicken Paella, Paella de Chuleta de Wagyu, and Paella de Bogavante served with Lobster saffron.

The three-course set menu includes signature shared starters such as the traditional salad dish in Russian cuisine, ensaladilla rusa, and the potato omelet Tortilla de patata Brava, a traditional dish from Spain, as well as BiBo’s signature desserts such as the famous Cheesecake, and the Fruta Fresca, served with fresh fruit, frozen tropical meringue, nitro popcorn and hibiscus granita.

“I am very excited to introduce our customers to my version of this historic Spanish dish that was famous in the rural areas of Valencia between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. My versions are ones that I am confident will appeal to the refined taste of the people of Qatar. I look forward to welcoming everyone during the weekend to try this exclusive offering,” said Dani Garcia, founder of Bibo.

Paella is a rice dish made from autochthonous short-grain rice called Bomba o Calasparra. It is prepared with a rich stock in a flat pan called Paella, and it is considered to be one of the most iconic dishes in Spanish cuisine.

With rice and saffron being just some of the ingredients introduced by the Moors, Paella has strong influences from the old Moorish kingdom of Al-Ándalus. It is a representation of Spanish kitchen, however, with time it has found its way to world cuisine becoming more international, with variants of meat, seafood, fish, and vegetables.

Chef Dani explores different types of Paellas from thin style Alicantino Paellas – a thin layer of rice with a choice of topping, to creamy meloso rice and Paellas made on open flames with vine leaves, providing his fans with many options to experience this unique Spanish signature dish. In BiBo, guests will taste Paella that uses Bomba rice, harvested from three different villages- Sollana, Silla and Sueca- and known to increase three times in size when cooked, locking in flavours and aromas.

Chef Dani Garcia is famous for combining dishes that his gastronomic memory has been accumulating during his travels inside and outside of Spain. BiBo is a culinary travel guide created to enjoy a global cuisine fused with Garcia’s roots and origins.
