Leña Barcelona celebrates an unforgettable year, an anniversary that confirms the strength of a project that has seamlessly integrated into the city from day one.

A year that leaves its mark on the city

Leña Barcelona celebrates an unforgettable year because its opening marked a turning point in the local gastronomic scene. The restaurant was born with a clear intention: to connect with Barcelona through emotion.
From the beginning, the concept aimed to build a genuine bond with the city and with those who live it.
Dani García emphasized this idea with a simple message: he wanted Leña’s fire to feel truly at home in Barcelona.
That vision came to life through a year filled with activity, creativity, and deep respect for Catalan culture.

A proposal that captivated from the very first day

The first year confirms the consolidation of a project that quickly found its place among the most dynamic restaurants in Barcelona.
Its success wasn’t accidental, but the result of a proposal that blends flavor, emotion, and a very personal perspective.
One of its key moments was its participation in Tast a la Rambla, where its burgers were an absolute sensation.
More than 4,000 were served in just four days, proving the irresistible appeal of the dish.
The restaurant has already surpassed 27,000 units sold since opening.
The grilled Málaga avocado, the apple-shaped foie, and the exclusive Tarta di Rose are also undeniable favorites.
These dishes have already become part of the city’s culinary imagination.

Catalan traditions embraced with authenticity

The team wanted to take an active role in the Catalan festive calendar from the very start.
For Sant Jordi, Leña offered roses and literary excerpts in Catalan to every guest.
During Easter, the restaurant showcased an impressive Mona created by Christian Escribà and Patricia Schmidt.
The piece paid homage to the restaurant’s visual and culinary universe.
The tradition of La Mercè was also celebrated with a special dessert created by Sofía and Víctor from La Dramerie.
Their creation captured the restaurant’s identity through flavor and memory.
Each gesture brought Leña’s essence even closer to the heart of Barcelona.

A once-in-a-lifetime night for gastronomy

One of the year’s most emotional moments was the tribute to Joan Roca.
The event gathered more than 70 Michelin stars in a unique dinner.
It was a night filled with respect, admiration, and the desire to honor a defining figure in Catalan cuisine.
The gathering revived the spirit of the renowned “A cuatro manos” events launched by Dani García in 2014.
That evening confirmed Barcelona’s role as a key meeting point for high gastronomy.

A restaurant that attracts every kind of guest

More than 67,000 people have visited the restaurant since it opened.
Guests include tourists, food lovers, industry professionals, and a loyal local audience.
The diversity of visitors reflects the versatility and magnetism of the concept.
Leña has become an essential stop for anyone in search of fire-driven, flavorful dining.

A year that strengthens the essence of the project

Leña Barcelona celebrates an unforgettable year because it has achieved far more than numbers and recognition.
It has built a connection with the city based on authenticity, creativity, and respect for its traditions.
The restaurant has embraced small but meaningful gestures that express closeness and cultural intention.
That is why its celebrations, dishes, and initiatives are now part of Barcelona’s cultural landscape.
In just twelve months, Leña has become a place where gastronomy is lived intensely and with a deeply local spirit.
And it has done so without losing its essence, always tied to fire, emotion, and the pursuit of new experiences.
That combination makes it an essential destination for those who appreciate honest, character-driven cuisine.

Some recognitions not only celebrate a trajectory, but also a way of seeing, feeling and telling the story of gastronomy. This year, the Michelin Guide has placed that spotlight on Luis Baselga, sommelier and maître d’ at Smoked Room, awarding him the Sommelier Award 2026. A prize that recognises his sensitivity, precision and ability to build, glass by glass, an essential part of the experience.

The gala, held this November 25 at the Sohrlin Andalucía venue in Málaga, brought together the great figures of Spanish gastronomy in a night where, in addition to the coveted stars, the crafts that uphold excellence were celebrated: the dining room, young talent, mentorship and, of course, wine. There, accompanied by Quim Vila (founder of Vila Viniteca), Baselga took the stage to receive an award that has only existed for three editions and was previously granted to historic names such as Josep Roca and José Luis Paniagua.

Sensitivity as a compass

Since joining the Dani García Group in 2021, Baselga has built at Smoked Room a unique way of understanding wine. At 34 years old, trained at the Basque Culinary Center and with experience in emblematic restaurants, he has developed an intimate and emotional vision based on listening, precision and reading each guest.
At Smoked Room, an omakase-style temple where fire, technique and narrative coexist for only fourteen diners— his liquid proposal forms “the other half” of the gastronomic story. There, between embers and measured silences, he has turned each service into a living organism that adapts, evolves and breathes.

True to a style that avoids conventional pairings, he defends the concept of “agreement”, an honest union between dish and wine that emerges after hours of testing, stocks and sauces in his small laboratory at the back of the restaurant. His criteria are clear: serve only what moves him, while adjusting every decision to the sensitivity of the person sitting at the table.
For Baselga, excellence lies in reading the group, understanding its intention, finding the leader and fine-tuning every detail so that the experience flows and is shared.

He sums it up like this:
“Wine is a guest at the party. Its role is to accompany, guide and prolong what happens on the palate. I feel overwhelmed and very happy. It has been a year of hard work, and receiving this recognition is an enormous boost.”

A project where fire and wine tell the same story

Smoked Room was born in 2021 inside Leña Madrid as a nearly hidden, intimate space designed to disappear among smoke, embers and darkness. In just six months, it achieved an extraordinary milestone: two Michelin stars, later joined by a third in Dubai.
Since then, this Dani García Group project has become a complete sensorial experience where every dish is crafted through the absolute mastery of fire. Every wine chosen by Baselga extends, refines or embraces those flavours.

His cellar, alive and constantly evolving, converses with the restaurant’s three tasting menus. Three flame-driven narratives, each accompanied by its own liquid interpretation. And it is precisely that harmony —that way of weaving a shared story— that has turned his work into a reference both in Spain and internationally.

Massimiliano Delle Vedove, executive chef of Smoked Room, describes it this way:
“I couldn’t be happier to share this project with Luis, a friend and one of the best sommeliers in the country. For his talent and his commitment, he deserves everything.”

A recognition that looks toward the future

The Sommelier Award 2026 not only celebrates a rising career. It also strengthens the importance of wine and dining service within the gastronomic experience of the Dani García Group and reaffirms Smoked Room as one of the most influential spaces on the international scene.
A place where fire, wine and emotion meet to tell the same story.
A story that, in many ways, carries the silent, precise and honest signature of Luis Baselga.

Sommelier Award 2026 for Luis Baselga

Hay días que empiezan con un latido distinto.
Como si alguien marcara el ritmo desde una oficina llena de energía, golpes en el pecho y miradas decididas.
Así se siente el Black Weekend en Grupo Dani García, una fecha que mueve deseos, impulsa planes y despierta a cualquiera que adore la emoción de un buen capricho.

Porque sí, empieza el 28 de noviembre y termina el 1 de diciembre, pero la vibra se vive mucho antes.
Ese cosquilleo de “si no lo pillo ahora, me arrepiento”.
Ese impulso que solo se explica cuando sabes que, detrás de un clic, hay experiencias que merecen contarse.

Vouchers que encienden el pulso

La tienda online está lista para la acción.
Brilla como una mesa de trading un viernes frenético.
Todo vibra, todo late, todo tiene ese punto de vértigo delicioso.

Los vouchers digitales, con descuentos de hasta el 40%, son la puerta de entrada a los mejores planes del grupo.
Y no hablamos de cualquier plan.
Hablamos de cenas que se recuerdan, de esas veladas que empiezan con risas y terminan con promesas.
Así es el Black Weekend en Grupo Dani García, una invitación directa a disfrutar sin pensar demasiado.

Aquí no hay complicación.
No hay colas.
No hay estrés.
Solo tú eligiendo el momento perfecto para regalarte —o regalar— horas de placer gastronómico.

Experiencias para dos que valen un latido

Si hay algo que resume el espíritu del fin de semana more black de todos, son las experiencias para dos.
Son la excusa perfecta para una cita pendiente.
Para celebrar lo que toque.
Para avivar lo que ya brilla.

Imagina llegar a Leña y sentir ese calor delicioso que despierta el apetito.
O perderte en la elegancia juguetona de BiBo.
O dejarte llevar por el sabor del sur más auténtico en Tragabuches.
O vivir un festín marino en Lobito de Mar que te teletransporta a la playa incluso en diciembre.

Cada experiencia tiene un aura distinta, pero todas comparten lo mismo:
quien la vive, la recuerda.
Y quien la regala, triunfa.

Por eso el Black Weekend en Grupo Dani García se ha convertido en un secreto a voces entre quienes saben disfrutar de verdad.

Gift cards para los que nunca fallan

Están los previsores.
Los que llegan al restaurante como si entraran en una escena de película.
Los que saben que un buen regalo no se mide en tamaño, sino en sensaciones.

Para ellos —y para cualquiera que quiera quedar como un rey o una reina— están las gift cards.
Sencillas.
Elegantes.
Con ese punto misterioso que hace que todo parezca el principio de una gran historia.

Regalas una tarjeta, sí.
Pero en realidad, estás regalando una emoción.
Un momento.
Un recuerdo que todavía no ha pasado, pero ya se siente.

There are certain dates that awaken flavors, memories, and a special kind of energy. In the United States, Thanksgiving is one of those moments that brings families, friends, and tables full of tradition together. This year, BiBo Madrid invites guests to experience that celebration through its most cosmopolitan, globe-trotter lens with a special menu available only on November 27.
A proposal that brings back the iconic flavors of this American holiday and reimagines them with the technique and signature style of chef Dani García.

A journey along the East Coast in the form of starters

True to its global spirit with Andalusian roots, BiBo opens the menu with a trio of starters that pay homage to the East Coast of the United States.
The experience begins with a traditionally prepared Oyster Rockefeller, elegant and classic—the perfect way to set the tone. It continues with a juicy, deeply flavored crab empanada inspired by Maryland, followed by a warm Brussels sprout salad with green apple and caramelized walnuts that brings freshness, texture, and an unmistakable autumnal twist.

As a bridge to the main courses, BiBo offers a comforting nod to New England cuisine: a creamy clam chowder, full of marine nuances, smoothness, and technique.

Turkey as the star: tradition, flavor, and BiBo style

The heart of any Thanksgiving celebration is the turkey, and at BiBo it receives a thoughtful, flavorful interpretation.
The dish combines roasting juices, cranberry and PX sauce, served with traditional mashed potatoes, cornbread, green beans with almonds, and honey-and-cumin–glazed carrots.

A warm and spiced finale

The final touch comes with a dessert that captures the sweetest essence of this holiday: a pumpkin cheesecake served with cinnamon ice cream.
A warm, spiced, and comforting combination that embodies the spirit of Thanksgiving while maintaining that playful, indulgent touch so characteristic of BiBo.

Thanksgiving through the BiBo lens

With this special menu, BiBo Madrid invites guests to explore one of the most emblematic celebrations of American culture from a global, approachable perspective.
A festive, share-worthy proposal that blends recognizable traditions with the creative, wanderlust-driven spirit of the Dani García universe.

Four ways to celebrate Christmas, the Dani García way

With these proposals, Dani García Group redefines the Christmas dining experience through four complementary concepts that represent his culinary universe.

All menus will be available from November 15 to January 5, for both lunch and dinner.
The group will also offer special menus for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, where each restaurant will reinterpret its concept with a festive touch and the unmistakable Dani García signature.

Four unique ways to understand cuisine, united by one purpose: celebrating flavor, tradition, and the joy of sharing.

Martín Berasategui, el chef con más estrellas Michelin de España, fue el gran protagonista de un homenaje histórico que celebró su trayectoria y su legado en la alta cocina española. Durante dos jornadas, más de veinte cocineros de primer nivel se reunieron para rendir tributo a su influencia y talento, en un evento organizado conjuntamente por Puente Romano Marbella y el Grupo Dani García.

Un fin de semana para la historia 

El tributo, celebrado los días 16 y 17 de noviembre, reunió en el resort marbellí a algunos de los nombres más destacados de la cocina española: Albert Adrià, Francis Paniego, Paco Morales, Paolo Casagrande, Ramón Freixa, Ricard Camarena, Toño Pérez, Diego Guerrero, Alberto Chicote, Jesús Sánchez, Ángel León, Samantha Vallejo-Nágera, Joan Roca, Josean Alija, Marcos Morán, Hermanos Torres, Erlantz Gorostiza, José Carlos García y Nandu Jubany, entre otros. Todos ellos cocinaron para honrar la trayectoria del chef donostiarra, en un encuentro que combinó emoción, talento y admiración.

El homenaje comenzó el domingo con una mesa redonda en NYX, donde los chefs Dani García, Martín Berasategui e Izu Ani, conversaron sobre sus trayectorias culinarias y sus próximos proyectos, en una sesión íntima moderada por Samantha Vallejo-Nágera que continuó con una cena privada en GAIA. 

El lunes, la celebración se trasladó a La Plaza de Puente Romano, epicentro gastronómico del resort, donde se rindió un homenaje al maestro vasco en un evento marcado por la camaradería y la emoción compartida. El propio Berasategui recibió numerosas muestras de cariño y reconocimiento por su papel inspirador en la gastronomía española durante más de cinco décadas, entre ellas, emotivos discursos de Dani García y el Chef Ejecutivo del hotel, Juan González.

La celebración culminó con una cena homenaje en Leña Marbella, el restaurante insignia de Dani García, donde los cocineros invitados elaboraron de forma conjunta un menú de 16 pases que sintetizó la diversidad, la técnica y la creatividad de la cocina española actual.

Un menú con garrote para el Maestro Berasategui

El menú rendía homenaje a la historia y la influencia de Berasategui a través de una secuencia de 16 pases concebidos a varias manos, que reunieron técnica, emoción y un profundo respeto por el oficio. La velada comenzó con la Milhoja caramelizada de anguila ahumada, cebolleta, foie gras y manzana verde firmada por Erlantz Gorostiza y Paolo Casagrande, seguida de la Milhoja de foie, queso de cabra y manzana verde caramelizada de Dani García.

A continuación, Dani García y José Carlos García reinterpretaron el sur con su Ensalada tibia de tuétanos vegetales y mariscos de Andalucía, mientras que Joan Roca aportó una pieza de sensibilidad vegetal con su Romescu de nueces con flores encurtidas.

La parte más vasca y golosa de la cena llegó con la Tortilla de piquillo y anchoa creada por Diego Guerrero y Josean Alija, para después dar paso a Marcos Morán y Quique Dacosta con sus Lágrimas de guisantes con percebes en gelé y toffee de mantequilla salada de guisantes. Francis Paniego presentó una Penca de acelga con emulsión de ibérico, mientras que Alberto Chicote sorprendió con su Tarta de cebollas con chantilly soubise.

Espadreña, , canelón y mignardises

La secuencia marina cobró protagonismo con el Calamar curado, consomé de ave y caviar de los Hermanos Torres, seguido de la Secuencia de calamar de Erlantz Gorostiza y Paolo Casagrande, y la interpretación conjunta de Ramón Freixa y Toño Pérez con La espardeña vista como un chipirón pelayo.

En clave más clásica, Nandu Jubany presentó un Canelón de pollo de corral con crema de foie y trufa negra, antes de que Jesús Sánchez aportara su Royal de liebre, un guiño a la caza más refinada. Posteriormente, el Pato andalusí ahumado-asado con terrina de patata y bacon marino, firmado por Paco Morales y Ángel León, unió tradición, territorio y técnica en un mismo plato. 

El cierre dulce estuvo a la altura del resto de la cena gracias al Air waffle de avellana con praliné à l’ancienne y helado de flan de huevo de Albert Adrià y el postre Chocolate, café y whisky de Ricard Camarena.

Las mignardises finales creadas por Samantha Vallejo-Nágera fueron Micro tarta Rogelio, Chocolate y praliné de avellanas, Crujiente de Samantha y Micro Mont Blanc, pusieron el punto final a una cena que fue, más que un menú, una declaración colectiva de afecto y respeto hacia un cocinero irrepetible.

“No existe el ‘yo’ en mi vocabulario. Toda mi vida, todo lo que he conseguido y todo lo que representa nuestra cocina, nace del ‘nosotros’. Soy uno más dentro de este equipo inmenso de familias, amigos y profesionales que me han hecho grande. La revolución de la cocina española está en la unidad, y ese es el único camino: caminar juntos”, reflexionaba Martín durante esta noche tan especial. “La mejor de mi vida vestido de chef”, aseguraba.

Un legado que trasciende generaciones

El homenaje a Martín Berasategui fue mucho más que una celebración profesional: fue una declaración colectiva de gratitud hacia un referente que ha sabido enseñar, inspirar y abrir camino a las nuevas generaciones de la cocina española durante más de 50 años. Su manera de entender el oficio basada en la humildad, el esfuerzo y la generosidad se reflejó en cada palabra, en cada gesto y en cada plato.

“Lo que ha hecho Martín por todos nosotros y por la gastronomía española no se puede medir en estrellas ni en premios. Su legado va mucho más allá de la técnica o la creatividad: nos ha enseñado a trabajar con pasión, humildad y generosidad. Cada plato suyo es una lección, cada gesto una inspiración. Hoy celebramos no solo a un chef extraordinario, sino a un maestro que ha marcado a toda una generación y que seguirá guiando a quienes amamos este oficio”, subrayó Dani García durante la velada.

Esta cita se convirtió en un símbolo de unión, respeto y admiración dentro de la gastronomía española, gracias a la colaboración del Grupo Dani García y el marco incomparable de Puente Romano Marbella.Pero, sobre todo, fue un tributo a la emoción y al legado de un cocinero irrepetible: Martín Berasategui.

Spanish chef Martín Berasategui, celebrating 50 years of career, will be honored in a unique event bringing together more than 20 of Spain’s top chefs, reinforcing his role as a key figure in the high-end culinary scene on the Costa del Sol.

On November 16 and 17, the Marbella resort will host this exceptional gathering, uniting some of the most renowned figures in Spanish cuisine to pay tribute to Berasategui’s legacy and trajectory.

In this context, Puente Romano Marbella — renowned for its gastronomic offering with more than 20 restaurants and bars, including Leña, and known for its excellence and culinary variety — will provide the perfect setting for this unforgettable celebration. Its atmosphere and history as a meeting point for world-famous restaurant brands make it the ideal venue to honor Berasategui.

Throughout the event, 19 renowned chefs — including Albert Adrià, Francis Paniego, Paco Morales, Paolo Casagrande, Ramón Freixa, Ricard Camarena, Toño Pérez, Diego Guerrero, Alberto Chicote, Jesús Sánchez, Ángel León, Samantha Vallejo, Joan Roca, Josean Alija, Marcos Morán, Hermanos Torres, Erlantz Gorostiza, José Carlos García, and Nandu Jubany will join forces to create a special menu designed not only to delight the senses but also to express admiration for Berasategui’s legacy. Each dish will form part of a collective narrative reflecting the diversity, talent, and excellence of contemporary Spanish cuisine.

A gathering of culinary stars

The tribute will begin on Sunday with a private dinner at GAIA restaurant inside Puente Romano Marbella. Chef Izu Ani will personally welcome the chefs for two days of celebrations, offering an intimate prelude to the main event. This will be a special opportunity to share memories and experiences in a relaxed atmosphere, reinforcing bonds of friendship and respect.

A heartfelt tribute in La Plaza de Puente Romano

On Monday, the celebration will move to La Plaza at Puente Romano, the resort’s gastronomic hub and the heart of the tribute, where the great gathering of chefs will take place.

It will be an event filled with emotion and mutual recognition, where leading names in Spanish gastronomy will come together around the figure of Berasategui in a spirit of admiration and camaraderie.

The grand finale at Leña Marbella

The event will culminate with a tribute dinner at Leña Marbella, Dani García’s flagship restaurant in Andalusia. There, the invited chefs will collaborate in creating a unique menu in honor of Martín Berasategui. Each course will represent a personal interpretation of his legacy, forming a culinary dialogue that merges styles, generations, and visions of Spanish haute cuisine. Beyond the personal tribute, this initiative symbolizes the union of different culinary generations and styles, celebrating gastronomic excellence and reinforcing Spain’s status as a global benchmark in innovation and creativity in the kitchen.

The Spell Begins as Night Falls

There are nights that call for magic. Dim lights, knowing glances, and a clear desire: to celebrate Halloween in style. And Halloween night at Grupo Dani García is here. No rushed costumes or cheap scares. Here, witchcraft tastes like recipes that enchant and toasts that spark smiles.

In Madrid, Marbella, and Barcelona, the chef’s restaurants are preparing for a different kind of Halloween. Adult. Sensory. Fun. With that Andalusian touch that turns any evening into a memory.

Because when night falls and autumn arrives, you crave enjoyment, seduction, and moments worth talking about. And yes, the most mysterious night at Grupo Dani García promises just that—and more.

A Captivating Cocktail: Catrina

No ritual is complete without a potion. This Halloween, the star is Catrina. A cocktail that’s seductive, sweet, and mischievous all at once. One you order to toast… and also to photograph.

Each bar in the Group serves its version, but the essence remains: mystery, sparkle, and an elegant touch that makes everything flow. The glass that marks the start of the night. The one that signals something special is about to happen.

Because Halloween isn’t just about costumes. It’s attitude. It’s emotion. And Catrina knows it.

Corners to Get Lost… and Found

In Madrid, the atmosphere turns seductive.
The bars of BiBo, the fire of Leña, the warmth of Tragabuches, and the maritime spirit of Lobito de Mar are tinged with playful shadows and nightly laughter. This is a place to see and be seen, to share dishes that captivate, and indulge in hypnotic cocktails.

In Marbella, Halloween night breathes with sea breeze and moonlight. Everything feels warmer. More intimate. There’s always a whisper in the air saying: “stay a little longer.”

And Barcelona brings its modern, bold, cosmopolitan energy. Perfect for an unexpected Halloween plan. Glamorous, but never losing the fun.

Dishes That Tell Stories

No fake cobwebs or shiny skulls are needed. The magic is in the flavors. In that bite that makes you close your eyes. In the wink shared among friends when tasting a dish you can’t stop craving.

Because the most mysterious night at Grupo Dani García isn’t about fear—it’s about feeling. Toasting to what you love. Enjoying the best of each restaurant with that nighttime vibe that invites evenings that linger.

Tapas that seduce. Meats that are pure fire. Fish that tastes like the true sea. All wrapped in a vibe that blends mystery, celebration, and elegance.

And You, Where Will You Celebrate?

Halloween isn’t improvised. It’s lived, felt, and chosen wisely.

This year, there’s one clear destination for those seeking a different night: the most mysterious night at Grupo Dani García.

Order a Catrina. Make a toast. And let the night decide.

There are decisions that divide the world.
Sweet or savory. Beach or mountains. Dry or creamy rice.
There’s no right answer—only different sensations. And if there’s one place where this choice turns into pure pleasure, it’s here: dry or melow rice at Lobito de Mar. Because in this restaurant from Grupo Dani García, it’s not about choosing right—it’s about choosing what makes you happy today.

Dry: the one that crackles and conquers

Dry rice is the timeless classic that never disappoints. Loose, golden, with that deep aroma that embraces you before the first bite.
At Lobito de Mar, every dry rice arrives at the table with perfect texture and a broth full of flavor. Nothing’s extra. Everything’s in its place.

A rice with seasonal vegetables, one with carabinero prawns, or the Iberian pork rice that boldly unites land and sea. And always, with that golden crust at the bottom—the socarrat that fights for your spoon. Because yes, if you’re the kind who loves that crunch, that clean and direct flavor, dry or melow rice at Lobito de Mar has your answer.

Creamy rib rice: spoons that comfort

Here, there’s no variety—there’s perfection.
The only creamy rice on the menu is the rib rice, and it needs no rival. Creamy, intense, profound. Slow-cooked, until the rice melds with the meat and everything tastes like home. Like the good old days. Like comfort on a plate.

It’s made to share, to let go, to stretch lunch into the afternoon.
It’s the dish for long sobremesas, for easy conversation, for that “I didn’t know this could taste so good” moment. If what you love is warmth, comfort, and honest flavor, you’ll understand why dry or creamy rice at Lobito de Mar is starting to have a clear favorite.

There’s no “good” rice. There’s the perfect rice for you

The best part is—you don’t have to choose just once.
You can try one today, another tomorrow, come as a couple and steal from each other’s plate, or come back just for that rice you can’t forget. Because at Lobito de Mar, rice isn’t just a section of the menu—it’s a way of cooking the south with pride.

And it doesn’t matter if you’re in Marbella or in the heart of Madrid.
You can still feel the sea breeze—even in the conversation. The table fills up. Glasses clink. The rice arrives at the center. And suddenly, the choice doesn’t matter that much anymore. Because everything tastes like summer, like gathering, like an unhurried Sunday.
That’s how dry or creamy rice is lived at Lobito de Mar.

El pasado 3 de octubre, Tragabuches Marbella sopló sus tres primeras velas rodeado de amigos, sabores y emociones. La ocasión merecía una celebración especial, y así fue: una velada inolvidable que combinó música en directo, un menú exclusivo diseñado por Dani García y dos propuestas de maridaje pensadas para elevar cada bocado.

Tres años de cocina andaluza en clave contemporánea

Desde que abrió sus puertas en 2022, Tragabuches Marbella se ha consolidado como uno de los proyectos más auténticos del Grupo Dani García. Un restaurante que mira al sur y a su despensa con respeto y creatividad, y que en estos tres años ha sabido convertirse en un lugar de encuentro para quienes buscan disfrutar de la cocina andaluza con una visión contemporánea.

Su filosofía kilómetro cero, su bodega de referencia y una oferta que abarca desde desayunos hasta cenas de autor lo han convertido en un espacio vivo, cercano y versátil que late al ritmo del sur.

Un menú homenaje a la tierra

La noche comenzó a las 20:00h con un welcome cocktail en el que no faltaron el vermut de bienvenida y unas gildas artesanas que marcaron el tono del encuentro.

A continuación, los asistentes pudieron disfrutar de un menú de 9 pases (120 € por persona) que recorrió algunos de los sabores más reconocibles de la cocina de Dani García, reinterpretados desde el espíritu más puro de Tragabuches: un homenaje a la tierra y a los productos que definen su identidad.

Maridajes pensados para realzar cada sabor

Para acompañar la experiencia, se ofrecieron dos propuestas de maridaje (30 € y 45 €), diseñadas para resaltar la diversidad de sabores del menú y reforzar la armonía entre cada plato.

Música, calidez y alma andaluza

La velada contó también con música en directo, que puso la banda sonora perfecta a una noche que respiraba calidez, alegría y ese ambiente festivo tan característico del restaurante.

Brindis por el futuro

Con esta celebración, Tragabuches Marbella no solo conmemoró su tercer aniversario, sino que también reafirmó aquello que siempre lo ha definido: raíces andaluzas, respeto por el producto y una visión abierta al futuro.

Una noche para brindar por todo lo vivido hasta ahora… y por todo lo que aún está por venir.
