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.

“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.

‘’They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that’s true.’’- Big Fish (2003). 

According to Psychology, it is said that we have three kinds of love. Sometimes we live the three of them with the same person at the time we develop as a couple.

• Idealistic love, fairy-tale love, love that we believe will last a lifetime.
• Love out of necessity, out of doubt, the ups and downs of falling in love, the need to be loved.
• Unexpected love, out of the blue, more mature, we accept the other person as they are.

This is why love must be celebrated, with that person who came and changed our life ” Che confusione, sarà perché ti amo”. 

So, this Valentine’s Day, give the gift of an experience to remember which will tell you ‘’I remember that night better than some of the years of my life” Before Midnight (2004). 

GIVE THE GIFT OF QUALITY TIME

We will help you to prepare the experiences. You know that in BiBo ‘’We love you so brunch’’, and this day couldn’t be as (Roma)ntic, without an Italian diner, so present them with the gift of Alelí Flowers.

If you prefer something more sparkling, let the flame of love be noticed, add Leña to the fire!

Also, you can show your ‘’resalao’’ side in Lobito de Mar; or if you believe in the Japanese legend of the red thread, in Kemuri you can live an oriental experience.

LIVE THE MOST ROMANTIC EVENING

Of course, besides St. Valentine’s Day, you have something special to celebrate, let us know and we will do the magic.

So don’t forget to book your experience in your favorite restaurant, dedicate quality time to your partner and let us form a part of it, by mentioning us in your social networks. 

‘’ Isn’t everything we do in our lives in order to be loved a little more?’’ Before Sunrise (2004)

It is time! Finally, Christmas has arrived, the most magical time of the year and that we all look forward to so much, it is a time of lights, music and celebration along with the famous ”All I want for Christmas is you’… we for Christmas want you to enjoy yourself, and that you will be filled with the Christmas spirit.

Madrid has pulled itself together this year and from Sol, we can see this year´s giant Christmas ball that lights up and flashes to the sound of music. Of course, we cannot forget the Plaza Mayor and its flea markets. 

We do not have to go to Madrid to enjoy the Christmas plans, in Marbella you can also count on the plus that the Costa del Sol allows you to enjoy the mild weather at any time of the year. Do not worry, your search to find a place to eat, we will take care of it.

The most international menu

In addition to our brunch, remember that you can enjoy our menu from Monday to Sunday during lunch and dinner. Different sections divide a special and traveling menu with dishes for all tastes.

The night of 23 June is Saint John’s Eve, or San Juan. It’s the longest day of the year, and the shortest night. Over time it’s become it’s one of the most special and magical days of the summer. All manner of traditions exist to ward off evil so good can prevail.

Bonfires in Alicante, dipping one’s feet in the sea at midnight or even immersing yourself fully as the clocks strike 12. It’s all about making your wishes come true and having new hopes for the future.

It’s also becoming more common for people to make plans of their own, creating their own unique midsummer celebrations. This is how Dani García sees it, ensuring you’ve got a range of different options available at his restaurants so you can enjoy his amazing food to the fullest.

Madrid

There’s no beach, but the essence of San Juan is strong in the capital. You can hit the streets and have a bite to eat in a local restaurant. Burn your wishes at Leña. Write down your hopes and dreams, then toss them in water to send them on their way with Lobito de Mar on calle Jorge Juan. Or have you palm read at BiBo Madrid.

Marbella

With the beach so close, going for a dip is one of the key plans for the night of the 23rd. However, for the best San Juan celebrations head to Lobito de Mar and Leña. Your wishes will be remain secret, and will 100% definitely come true. Babette also offers the finest feast for everyone, with Dani García’s take on French cuisine.

Tarifa

San Juan in Tarifa is all about the GKA Air World Championships on Valdevaqueros beach with the BiBo chill out area and with Martini Fiero, from 4pm. With the DJ spinning tunes, the best vibe around and a magician wowing you with tricks all evening. A very special and slightly different San Juan celebration.

With the arrival of almadraba fishing season, it’s high tuna season for Dani García. In conjunction with Gadira, this year the chef wanted to celebrate one of the most special times of the year by demonstrating the ronqueo technique.

This is the traditional method of breaking the fish down into the various different cuts, together with an explanation of how they’re used to get the most out of each one. Following the ronqueo, Dani García led a masterclass on all of them to demonstrate and provide ideas on how to prepare certain tuna cuts at home. 

Running alongside these special events, BiBo (Madrid and Tarifa) and Lobito de Mar (Marbella and Madrid) both included the special “15 tunas for 15 days” dishes on their menu. A unique delicacy that you can enjoy at both concepts to experience one of the most amazing products from the ocean. 

Ronqueo Marbella

On 4 May, at the Salón Andalucía of the Puente Romano hotel in Marbella, Dani’s home town and location of the group’s Leña and Babette restaurants. On this occasion and under the title of ‘Tuna, Caviar and Cocktail’, Dani García was assisted by Hervé Courtot, Corporate Chef for Nobu Hotels, to demonstrate how tuna is broken down into its various cuts, starting at 6pm. 

Following this display, guests enjoyed a light dinner that included some of the dishes that had been explained previously. A Roku-based cocktail was also served.

Ronqueo Madrid

A day later, on 5 May, “The Art of Tuna” came to Dani Brasserie at the Four Seasons hotel in Madrid, which opened the terrace season with its first demonstration of the traditional ronqueo technique. Under the name “Tuna, Caviar and Champagne”, the event featured a welcoming cocktail, a special dinner by Dani and his team, and an afterparty with live music from DJs Sandro Bianchi and Mestiza. 

The food served began with an o’toro nigiri with white soy sauce and Cádiz tuna pani puri with onion, followed by four main dishes: lean red tuna, ají amarillo chili, coriander and black olives; Nitro Tomato, green gazpacho and tuna belly tartare with Baeri caviar; smoked nape of tuna, soft wheat berries, coconut and kimchi; and tuna Wellington with matelote sauce and home-cooked truffles. Dessert consisted of yuzu sorbet with champagne, topped off with dark chocolate, gianduja and Arabica coffee ice cream.

Ronqueo Tarifa

The programme of ronqueo events around Spain was brought to a close in Tarifa, a town that is heavily involved in the almadraba method of tuna fishing. On 17 May, the BiBo Beach House restaurant in Tarifa gave ‘The Art of Tuna’ a fitting send-off. Located next to the Valdevaqueros beach dune, in an open-air setting, it was the first ronqueo event hosted at the restaurant.

As the sun set after the display, guests enjoyed a cocktail aperitif to bring this unique series of events to a close. 

From one day to the next, everyone’s dreams ground to a halt. That new job you were about to start, the trip you’d organised to that amazing city or country… When it happened, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been thrown over you. Everything ground to a halt, with no way of knowing if things will ever get going again.

 

And any enthusiasm for all the moments and things that the future held just melted away. Everyone with an uncertain future, with no date for things to get back to normal. No specific date set for one of the happiest days of your life.

 

If you’re reading this, you may be one of those couples who were suddenly forced to cancel your happiest day. Maybe you went to pick up that dress that you looked so gorgeous in, only to hang it up in your wardrobe without knowing when you would get to wear it. Maybe you’ve had to tell that catering company that was going to cook up a storm that the day is no longer on. And you’ve ended up telling the DJ that because of the situation there’ll be no music until further notice.

 

Everything came crashing down. And yet, there was one thing that remained, and which will always be there, no matter what, and that’s love – love for your special someone, for eternal happiness and for having a wonderful time. Nobody said this would be an easy time, but we have to give thanks every day for still having that lust for life and for getting back to all those plans that were put on hold.

 

Getting back to reorganising and to celebrating love and friendship. In our case, we can’t wait to bear witness to all those moments. To ensure you regain that excitement and see your smiles and that sparkle in your eyes.

 

Everything will pass – and when it does, we’ll all get back to living and celebrating love in the best possible way, and doing what we’re passionate about. Back to doing our thing with the same enthusiasm as ever, with the same love as ever – and that’s something that no pandemic can ever defeat.

Sam Nazarian’s Revolutionary Platform, C³, A Cutting-Edge Food and Beverage Ecosystem, To Develop with García Full-Service and Quick Service Culinary Mediterranean Concepts with a Spanish Flair, First Outpost to open at C³’s the Citizens New York Food Hall and Virtual Kitchens Located at Manhattan West

 

 

C³ (Creating Culinary Communities), a revolutionary food and beverage platform recently launched by Sam Nazarian, has announced that it has signed an agreement with internationally acclaimed Chef Dani García to open two culinary concepts by the end of 2020: Casa Dani by Dani García, a full-service dining concept, and Minük by Dani García, a fast casual concept, both with Mediterranean flavor with a Spanish flair.  Led by Chef García and Javier Gutierrez, Grupo Dani García has helmed several successful restaurants across Spain and the Middle East, including three-Michelin-star Restaurant Dani García.  García and C³ plan to open an additional 15 full-service dining Casa Dani by Dani García and up to 100 quick service Minük by Dani García globally in the next five years. All of the food concepts will be developed in close collaboration with C³ Chief Culinary Officer Martin Heierling. C³ is planning to open 200 virtual kitchens by the end of 2020 including Umami Burger, Sam’s Crispy Chicken, Krispy Rice, recently launched Plant Nation and EllaMia, and more. C³ will focus on restaurant concepts made up of an array of limited service culinary brands that are both new developments and evolutions of established, highly successful full-service sbe restaurants.

 

“By partnering with culinary genius and entrepreneur Dani García, we are now able to bring his 3-star Michelin experience to the American palate with our “Phone to Table” philosophy under $30, in under 30 minutes. The future of dining is casual, mobile and experiential,” said sbe and C³ CEO and Founder Sam Nazarian. “Dani is a globally renowned chef and a true culinary innovator. He and his team are an exciting complement to C³ and together we look forward to creating a new food and beverage paradigm.  I cannot wait to launch our incredible concepts in the core of Manhattan at our Citizens location.”

 

García said, “The collaboration with sbe, Simon, and Accor will be a great step for Grupo Dani García. Together with Sam Nazarian and his team, we have found the best possible partnership, as we share similar business philosophies on how to maximize synergies between lifestyle and elevated dining experiences. Our respective visions are acutely aligned, and we are committed to developing a revolutionary culinary culture that will adapt sbe/C³’s lifestyle concepts with our food brands.”

 

Casa Dani by Dani García, a Mediterranean full-service dining concept with Spanish flair to open as part of this collaboration, will arrive in 2020 in C³’s recently announced hospitality project Citizens.  This 40,000-square-foot culinary destination by award-winning designer David Rockwell is being developed by Brookfield Properties at Manhattan West in Manhattan.

 

The second concept, Minük by Dani García, a quick-service Mediterranean concept with Spanish flair, also slated for launch in Q4 2020 at Citizens, will be available in various C³ ghost kitchens across the United States. These undertakings will mark the first time Grupo Dani García has brought Chef Garcia’s world-renowned culinary style to the United States.

 

García, the celebrated Andalusian chef at the helm of multiple Michelin-starred restaurants is a leader in Spanish cuisine. After opening his first informal concept restaurant within the Hotel Puente Romano in Marbella, he launched his groundbreaking and democratic concept-driven restaurants BiBo Madrid and Marbella-based Lobito de Mar. In the middle of 2019, García jumped from his restaurant kitchen to the stoves of the Spanish TV program Hacer de Comer, fulfilling his dream of bringing his cuisine to households all over Spain. Delivering on an ambitious growth strategy, he has since opened BiBo Beach House in Tarifa, his most travel-inspired concept, adapted to the Valdevaqueros beach, and he has carried the gastronomical experience of Lobito de Mar to Madrid.  On June 18, Leña, a casual dining steak house that applies fresh and modern tastes to classic culinary traditions, will open at the previous location of the three-star Michelin Dani García Restaurant.

 

Uniting established and new proprietary brands, C³ and Grupo Dani García will leverage complementary expertise to address the rapidly changing F&B landscape, with an emphasis on experiential, globally minded culinary offerings. In addition to a full-service establishment, the two partners will also open a quick service restaurant, initially within Citizens, capitalizing on the evolution of consumer preferences toward casual and mobile culinary moments.

As a concept, you might not find laughter therapy in any official reference book, but a bit of laughter-based self-care can have an amazing effect on our emotional and psychological wellbeing.

More and more businesses are using therapies of this kind as a way to switch off from the daily grind before returning to work with a sense of renewed energy. Laughter is a natural, involuntary response to a particular situation. It’s a symbol of joy, but it is also has a hugely positive impact on our health. Laughter helps eliminate stress and alleviate depression, raising our confidence and self-esteem.

At BiBo we’d love you to experience a little laughter therapy with us at two unique Middays on 4 and 5 March, with a very international menu that you can enjoy with family and friends at a special, unique price.

Come and join us for a hearty celebration of life and laughter.
