There’s something primal and elegant about watching fire transform meat. About how slow, direct, and precise heat turns a noble cut into an edible work of art. At Leña, that magic happens every day. Right before your eyes. Beneath the smoke. With the scent of embers and the taste of purpose. Because here, we don’t cook: we ignite a ritual. As summer gives way to autumn when the nights grow longer and the body craves heartier dishes fire becomes Leña’s greatest secret. A restaurant where every ingredient has a purpose, and the product is always the true star.

Dry-aged meat: time, patience, and perfection

Talking about Leña without mentioning its dry-aged meat would be like talking about flamenco without rhythm. Here, cuts are chosen like precious gems—with discernment, respect, and an obsession for quality. Old cow ribeye, entrecôte, tenderloin… but not just any kind. Only those that have been given the time they truly need.

The aging process enhances tenderness, deepens flavor, and gives each bite a memorable intensity. That’s the key: fire may be the secret at Leña, but the product matters even more.

The grill, as a way of life

At Leña, the grill isn’t just a tool. It’s a philosophy. Each piece of charcoal is placed with intent. Each turn of the meat is deliberate. Every cut, every doneness, every aroma has one goal: to let the product speak. To let the meat tell its story. And to make the diner close their eyes with the very first bite.

But it’s not all about meat. Grilled vegetables here also have soul. Onions slowly caramelized over the coals. Peppers charred to a smoky sweetness. Corn, black garlic, seasonal mushrooms… humble ingredients, treated with absolute respect.

Autumn: a season for embers and red wine

When the days grow shorter and the air changes, the body craves comforting dishes. Meals that fill you up, yes, but more importantly, that embrace you. At Leña, autumn is served hot—with seasonal dishes like mushrooms just picked from the woods, foie melting over warm plates, and game cuts beginning to make their way onto the menu.

And to go with it all? Naturally, a red wine that balances the power of the grill. Selected with the same care as each cut of meat. Because at Leña, everything has a purpose. Everything follows a rhythm.

The fire experience, stripped bare

Grilled cuisine doesn’t need embellishment. Just fire, product, and soul. And that’s exactly what you’ll find at Leña. An experience that doesn’t aim to impress with elaborate techniques, but with something far more difficult: honesty, flavor, and memory.

Because true luxury lies in the essentials. In a perfectly cooked chop, a bone with warm marrow. In a burger made with freshly ground meat and sourdough bread. And in that almost instinctive feeling that you’re eating something real.

If you’re the kind of person who checks their horoscope before leaving the house or knows their birth chart by heart, this article is for you. Because being a hungry Leo is not the same as being a Cancer in search of comfort food. And if there’s something Dani García truly excels at (besides cooking like a dream), it’s creating a restaurant for every taste, every moment… and yes, even for every star sign.

En Leña, el fuego no es solo una técnica; es una filosofía. Cada brasa, cada llama, cada pieza de carne que llega a tu mesa es una historia bien contada. Y en esa historia, el punto de cocción de la carne es protagonista. Tan importante como el origen del producto o el tipo de corte.

Hoy te llevamos al corazón de la parrilla. Vamos a explorar cuáles son los puntos de la carne, cómo identificarlos y, sobre todo, cuál es el mejor punto de cocción de la carne según los expertos.

¿Cuáles son los puntos de la carne?

La carne no tiene un solo final feliz. Tiene varios. Depende del gusto, del corte, del tipo de animal y, por supuesto, del comensal. Pero en general, los diferentes puntos de la carne se dividen en cinco grandes categorías:

1. Raw (muy poco hecha)

Roja, casi cruda, caliente solo por fuera. Se cocina a fuego muy fuerte durante pocos segundos por cada lado. El interior se mantiene prácticamente intacto. Es ideal para cortes muy tiernos y de altísima calidad.

2. Poco hecha

Sellada por fuera, roja por dentro. La textura es suave, jugosa, y el sabor, muy intenso. En Leña, este punto es un favorito entre los que buscan la experiencia más pura de la carne.

3. Al punto menos

Una capa exterior dorada, un interior rojo-rosado que se deshace en la boca. Es uno de los puntos más recomendados por los parrilleros. ¿Cuál es el mejor punto de la carne? Muchos dirán que este.

4. Al punto

Aquí el centro es rosado, más firme, pero todavía jugoso. La caramelización exterior se vuelve más evidente. Ideal para quienes no quieren extremos, sino equilibrio.

5. Al punto más / tres cuartos

La carne pierde casi todo el color rosado. La textura es firme, el sabor es más concentrado. Es un punto respetado, sobre todo para cortes más grasos.

6. Hecha / bien cocida

Totalmente cocinada. Marrón por dentro, sin jugo visible. Aunque no es el punto más popular entre los chefs, sigue siendo una elección válida. En Leña, incluso este punto se respeta con mimo y técnica.

¿Cuántos puntos de cocción tiene la carne?

Técnicamente, hablamos de seis. Pero en la práctica, cada uno tiene sus matices. En Leña no solo se cocina al gusto, sino al detalle. Porque entre un “al punto menos” y un “punto” puede haber un mundo de diferencia si se hace con precisión.

¿Cómo saber si la carne está en su punto?

En casa, puedes guiarte por el tacto, por la temperatura interior o por el color al corte. Pero en Leña, dejamos que hablen las brasas y la experiencia. Cada cocinero conoce su fuego. Sabe cuándo girar, cuándo dejar reposar, cuándo servir. La carne se escucha, se mira, se huele. Y solo entonces, se corta.

¿Cuál es el mejor punto de cocción de la carne?

No hay una única respuesta. Todo depende del tipo de corte, de su infiltración de grasa y del resultado que busques. Sin embargo, si preguntas al equipo de Leña, la mayoría coincidirá en que el punto perfecto suele ser el “al punto menos”. Ahí la carne está jugosa, cálida y expresiva. Tiene carácter, pero también ternura.

¿Por qué es tan importante el punto de cocción?

Porque cambia todo. Textura, sabor, aroma. Un chuletón poco hecho no transmite lo mismo que uno bien cocido. Y en Leña, donde cada corte se selecciona con lupa y se trabaja al fuego con devoción, el punto de cocción de la carne es lo que transforma un plato en una experiencia.

Pide tu carne como quieras. Pero hazlo con intención.

En Leña respetamos todos los gustos. Si te gusta la carne bien hecha, la haremos con cariño. Si prefieres el corazón rojo y jugoso, sabremos darte lo que buscas. Porque los distintos puntos de la carne no son una regla fija, sino una carta abierta. Y tú eliges cómo escribirla.

Summer plans in Madrid don’t always require an escape. Sometimes, it’s enough to know where to sit, who to toast with, and what to order. Because there are places that taste like travel, the coast, or the countryside… without ever leaving the city. This is your guide to savoring summer without moving from Madrid. With options that go from around the world to the heart of Andalucía. From sea to fire. From tradition to the unexpected. And with standout names: Leña, Lobito de Mar, Tragabuches, and BiBo.

Eight Countries, One Table: BiBo Madrid

Imagine traveling the world without leaving Castellana. At BiBo Madrid, there’s no need for a passport—just an appetite. Its new tasting menu, Eight Countries, is a trip with no stopovers or suitcases. You’ll start in Mexico with freshly made guacamole and end in India with a rice pudding so creamy it feels like something else entirely.

In between? Peru, Japan, Spain, Italy… A brioche here, a ceviche there. Robuchon prawns saying “bonjour” and a Russian salad that shows up just when you don’t expect it. Everything is designed so you can simply say “yes” and enjoy the ride.

The menu is available Monday through Friday. Perfect for sharing with friends, toasting just because, and laughing with every bite. Because the best summer plans in Madrid start with a taste of the world and end with a toast.

The Sea on Your Plate: Lobito de Mar

They say Madrid has no beach, but there’s a place where the sea makes its way into every dish. It’s called Lobito de Mar, and you’ll find it on Jorge Juan Street. This summer, its A toda vela menu invites you to sail through flavors—no seasickness involved.

Start with a smoked eel Russian salad. Then come the croquettes, manzanilla-steamed clams, and tuna baby burgers. For mains, choose between sea bass, tuna carpaccio with fried eggs, or a dry seafood rice. And for dessert? A cheesecake that makes you close your eyes.

This weekday lunch menu is made for unwinding. For eating slowly. For tasting the sea in the comfort of air conditioning. Afterward, you can stroll through nearby boutiques, grab a drink on a terrace, or catch a film in original version. Because summer plans in Madrid are also about balance: sea and city, luxury and simplicity.

A Reinvented Andalucía: Tragabuches

Starting July 16, Tragabuches Madrid kicks off a summer of reinvention—without losing its most authentic Andalusian essence. The menu adapts daily to what’s fresh at the market. Written on a chalkboard, it speaks of the South. Light, fresh, soulful. Tradition and zero-kilometer ingredients, served with elegance.

And between courses, stories unfold. Of an Andalusian bandit, of grandmother’s recipes, of a sunlit patio with wooden chairs. Because Tragabuches isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a place where cooking tells the story of who we are.

Afterward, keep the day going with a visit to a nearby gallery, a wander through Salamanca, or a slow coffee. Because the best summer plans in Madrid come with pauses—and lots of flavor.

Leña: Flames That Light Up the Night

When the sun sets, Leña Madrid lights up. Its fire-driven concept turns dinner into a ritual. Here, everything is cooked over flames. With technique. With care. From dry-aged txuleta steak to grilled vegetables.

A perfect plan? Dinner at Leña, a stroll down Castellana, and a cocktail at a nearby bar. Because Madrid at night has that certain something—and in summer, even more so.

And if there’s one thread tying all these places together, it’s this: the best summer plans in Madrid don’t require leaving the city. Just knowing where to sit.

This summer, the flames of Leña Marbella welcome a new breeze—a blend of Dubai, Japan, Brazil, and Peru. From July 3 to 5, Dani García’s restaurant and SUSHISAMBA Dubai will showcase some of the most iconic dishes from their respective menus. As the highlight of this collaboration, on Wednesday, July 3, a four-hands tasting menu will be presented by Dani García and SUSHISAMBA’s resident Chef Lee, in an unmissable event for lovers of international fine dining.

This four-hands dinner features a tasting menu with over a dozen courses that merge Leña’s technique with SUSHISAMBA’s vibrant universe of flavors. Appetizers like chawanmushi with sea urchin, Kegani crab monaka, or scarlet prawn with brown butter and yuzu, and main dishes like hamachi tiradito, octopus anticucho, meatball yakitori with egg yolk, Chilean sea bass, lobster with yuzu kosho, or Leña’s iconic burger. The journey is a fusion of premium ingredients and a mix of Japanese, Latin, and Mediterranean techniques. For dessert, SUSHISAMBA will present a burnt cheesecake, while Leña will offer its signature tarta di rose as the perfect finale. Reservations are now open, and the menu with wine pairing is priced at €250 per person.

A touch of Asia in Spain

Three days of the collaboration with Leña, a selection of SUSHISAMBA dishes will be available à la carte. Hamachi tiradito, lobster tartare tacos, Chilean sea bass yakitori, salmon tartare on crispy nori with caviar, and Basque cheesecake.

This collaboration strengthens the international presence of Leña, which, with locations in Marbella, Madrid, Dubai, and Barcelona, continues to build bridges with global gastronomic leaders.

SUSHISAMBA, with iconic venues in London, Las Vegas, and Dubai, is one of the most globally recognized brands in fusion cuisine and contemporary luxury dining. Its arrival in Marbella from Dubai is also a bold statement about the city’s growing place on the international culinary map.

Después de cinco años de éxito, Leña Marbella sigue creciendo y enciende la chispa del verano con la ampliación de su espacio. Esta evolución eleva la experiencia gastronómica y consolida la visión del chef Dani García: un steakhouse innovador que une técnica, producto y vanguardia. Leña Marbella crece sin perder su esencia, convirtiéndose en un concepto más amplio, más ambicioso y con más fuego que nunca.

Con la llegada de los días largos y las noches más bonitas del año, el restaurante da un paso más en su evolución. Situado en el emblemático hotel Puente Romano, continúa su crecimiento con una importante ampliación de su espacio. El nuevo área ocupa el antiguo local de BiBo Marbella, una de las marcas más queridas del grupo. Esta incorporación refuerza la esencia creativa de Dani García y la eleva en un entorno más ambicioso, envolvente y espectacular.

La ampliación añade una capacidad extra para 141 personas, elevando el aforo total del restaurante hasta los 279 comensales. Esta cifra incluye la zona lounge y el bar, dos espacios clave en la experiencia Leña. Además de más espacio, se incorporan novedades importantes, como una barra central imponente que se convierte en el corazón de la sala. Esta barra está pensada para ofrecer una experiencia única e inmersiva en Marbella.

Leña está que arde en Marbella

El diseño del nuevo espacio ha sido creado por el estudio Astet, responsable del interiorismo de todos los restaurantes Leña. Este estudio ha firmado los espacios de Marbella, Madrid, Barcelona y Dubái, manteniendo una identidad visual coherente e icónica. El nuevo diseño potencia ese lenguaje ya reconocible, haciendo de Leña un verdadero referente internacional. Inspirado en lo ancestral y lo primitivo, utiliza materiales como la madera y la piedra. También juega con una paleta cromática dominada por los negros y una iluminación tenue. Todo ello crea una atmósfera sensorial que conecta directamente con la esencia del fuego.

En cuanto a la propuesta gastronómica, Leña Marbella mantiene su equilibrio entre producto y técnica, con una cocina centrada en el arte de cocinar sobre brasas. En este universo, el fuego es el gran protagonista, realzando los sabores puros con el aroma del humo. La parrilla se transforma verduras, mariscos, pescados y cortes nobles de carne. Todo ello se convierte en una experiencia sensorial completa, en la que cada plato habla con intensidad.

Desde sus entradas vegetales como el puerro asado o el aguacate de Málaga a la brasa, la carta es un homenaje al sabor. El pesto de cilantro, el salpicón vegetal y el queso feta aportan frescura y contrastes. También brillan los yakipinchos, como el de meatball de pollo con ralladura de limón. Por supuesto, no puede faltar su icónica Burger, un clásico que marcó el inicio de todo. Entre los platos principales destacan la lubina a la parrilla o el Tomahawk de ternera. También el ribeye de vaca vieja y el lomo de wagyu A5, que es todo un espectáculo.

Impulsado por el fuego de unas brasas que nunca se apagan, Leña sigue creciendo sin perder su esencia. Esta ampliación consolida su presencia en Marbella y reafirma el éxito de un concepto único. Leña no solo es un restaurante, es una forma de entender la cocina, el fuego y la experiencia. Con sedes en Marbella, Madrid, Dubái y una reciente apertura en Barcelona, se ha consolidado como un referente internacional. Muy pronto, su inconfundible propuesta llegará también a Miami, Mallorca e Ibiza. Así continúa su expansión, llevando el alma de las brasas por todo el mundo.

En Leña Barcelona, las brasas no son lo único que arde. A partir de las nueve y hasta la una de la madrugada, los viernes se transforman en un ritual incendiario donde el fuego se mezcla con ritmos que queman la pista. Barcelona tiene mil planes, pero solo uno lleva el nombre de Leña y la temperatura exacta para convertir tu viernes en el momento más salvaje del fin de semana. Leña Barcelona presenta su nuevo ciclo: Barcelona by Night. Cada viernes, DJ Akihiller Kiyani enciende la cabina, pero no lo hace solo. Se rodea de fieras. El 23, Alice Deren. El 30, Hermansen. El 6 de junio, Isma. El 13, Dark Feel. El 20, Assil. El 27, Dark Feel de nuevo. Y en julio, el 4 vuelve Hermansen y el 11 aterriza Martista. Si no sabes quiénes son, no importa. Solo ven y quédate a vivirlo.

Una cabina en llamas

El DJ residente es Akihiller Kiyani. No es un nombre. Es una advertencia. Cuando entra en escena, lo hace sin pedir permiso. Su música atraviesa el comedor de Leña Barcelona, trepa por las paredes, y se cuela hasta los huesos. Leña se conviernte un templo donde el humo huele a carne pero también a neón y a fines de semana con resaca de estilo. Los invitados no vienen a cubrir expediente. Alice Deren es potencia fina. Hermansen, un kamikaze de los bajos. Isma, el groove de la vieja escuela bien vestido. Dark Feel pone la oscuridad que algunos necesitan para desinhibirse sin dar explicaciones. Assil viene con ritmos que no entienden de etiquetas. Martista te hace cerrar los ojos y olvidarte del móvil. Y mientras tanto, el DJ residente mantiene todo en su punto de ebullición.

El sonido en Leña Barcelona está diseñado para que no haga falta hablar. La música se siente y las brasas acompañan. Y sí, también hay copas, las que quieras, como quieras. Pero lo importante es el ritmo. No hay carta que valga si no te levantas de la silla. Aquí vienes a cenar, sí, pero luego te conviertes en algo más. Uno de esos cuerpos que no tienen prisa por irse.

Quemar sin pedir perdón

El plan está claro: viernes, 21:00. Empieza el juego. Te sientas, pides tu burger y miras alrededor. El ambiente es brutal. Hay moda, hay actitud. Esto es una pista encubierta en medio de un restaurante de alta tensión. Y eso lo cambia todo. Porque mientras tú decides entre un cóctel o un trago largo, el beat sube sin que te des cuenta. Y cuando lo notas, ya es tarde. Estás dentro. Ya no puedes no moverte.

Aquí se viene a romper la semana. A quemar el cansancio en una sesión donde no hay etiquetas. Solo música, luces bajas, fuego en las brasas y gente que no quiere que le apaguen la noche. Si pensabas que Leña era solo un restaurante de carnes al fuego, ven un viernes. Vas a tener que repensarlo todo. En Barcelona, hay sitios para cenar. Sitios para bailar. Y luego está Leña.

May 28th isn’t just any day. It’s International Burger Day, a date that pays homage to one of the world’s most iconic and beloved bites. But if we’re talking about burgers that truly leave a mark, one shines brighter than the rest: the burger that gave meaning to it all at Leña. This creation has become a standout at Leña Marbella, Leña Madrid, and Leña Barcelona, and it’s much more than just meat between buns. It’s an experience that awakens all the senses and redefines what it means to enjoy a truly authentic burger.

An Obsession with Perfection

From the beginning, Leña has had a clear mission: to make the burger the most iconic dish on its menu. It’s not just about using the finest ingredients, but about elevating every detail to a whole new level. It all starts with the meat, carefully selected to achieve the perfect balance of juiciness and flavor. Then, it’s paired with a bun that’s much more than just a simple base – it’s the canvas that frames each bite, soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, topped with Havarti cheese and the final touch: the signature Bull sauce by Dani Garcia. But what truly sets it apart is the fire. That touch of the grill gives every Leña burger its deep, smoky flavor, a taste you only get when the flame itself becomes an essential ingredient.

More Than Just a Burger – An Experience

The Bull burger at Leña isn’t just a burger – it’s a statement. It’s the result of years of passion and dedication, crafted by chefs who live and breathe the art of grilling. Every time it’s served at Leña Marbella, Leña Madrid, or Leña Barcelona, it tells a story of fire, tradition, and innovation. It’s an experience that starts with the first aroma wafting from the kitchen, envelops you when the plate hits the table, and culminates in that first bite that makes you close your eyes and sigh. Because dining at Leña is exactly that – an experience lived with all the senses.

So this May 28th, celebrate International Burger Day the way it should be. Let yourself be swept away by the unmistakable flavor of the Bull – a burger that not only feeds the body but also nourishes the soul. Because if there’s one thing we know at Leña, it’s that the best stories are written in the heat of the flames.

Barcelona is about to fire up its grills for one of the most anticipated gastronomic events of the year: Tast a la Rambla. From May 8th to 11th, Plaça de Catalunya will transform into the epicenter of great food, bringing together chefs and restaurants from across the city to celebrate the culinary diversity that defines this vibrant metropolis. And this year, Leña Barcelona will be there, ready to leave its mark amid the aroma of fire and the sound of good music.

The flame that unites us

At Leña Barcelona, fire is more than just a technique – it’s a philosophy. The flame that fuels our ovens and grills doesn’t just cook; it creates experiences. So when we heard that Tast a la Rambla was coming back to the heart of the city, we knew we had to be there. It’s the perfect place to share our passion for open-flame cooking, and what better ambassador than our iconic burger – a dish that has become a benchmark for those seeking the perfect balance of intense flavor and flawless technique.

A stroll through the flavors of Barcelona

Tast a la Rambla is not just a festival; it’s a tribute to Barcelona’s cuisine and the values that define it today: sustainability, respect for the environment, and a commitment to local, Km0 produce. For four days, Plaça de Catalunya will be filled with stalls brimming with fresh ingredients, carefully crafted dishes, and bites that tell stories with every taste. Leña Barcelona couldn’t miss this celebration. Our space will reflect our essence: respect for the product and a passion for fire. Plus, this edition will feature live cooking demos, tastings, and musical performances that will fill the air with energy and flavor.

An experience with a taste of victory

And because we want your visit to our fiery corner to be unforgettable, we’ve prepared something special. Everyone who stops by to enjoy our burger at Tast a la Rambla will have the chance to enter an exclusive raffle. It’s our way of thanking those who dare to taste, explore, and live the Leña spirit. So mark your calendars – from May 8th to 11th, head to Plaça de Catalunya, try our burger, and let the fire do the rest. Because at Leña Barcelona, every bite is a spark of flavor, and every spark is a chance to win.

We’ll see you at Tast a la Rambla, where the flame never goes out, and flavor takes center stage.

There are days on the calendar that smell like history, like the street, like living culture. Days that transform the city and remind us of who we are. In Catalonia, one of those days is undoubtedly April 23rd, when we celebrate Sant Jordi, the patron saint of Catalonia. At Leña Barcelona, it’s a day where two universal gestures come together: giving a rose and giving a book.

At Leña Barcelona, this year we’re joining the celebration in a very special way. Because if there’s one thing that defines our restaurant, it’s our unique way of reinterpreting tradition—with soul, with fire, with elegance. This Sant Jordi, Leña’s fire will burn with letters, petals, and emotion.

A tradition that blooms every April

Sant Jordi is more than just a date. It’s a feeling you can breathe in every corner of Barcelona: streets filled with book stalls, balconies adorned with flags, lovers exchanging roses, readers searching for the perfect dedication. It’s a celebration that brings together the popular and the poetic, the urban and the intimate.

And as it could not be otherwise, at Leña Barcelona we want to be part of that magic. We want our guests to experience Sant Jordi not only in the streets but also at the table. That’s why, throughout April 23rd, we’ve prepared a special experience that pays tribute to the two great traditions of the day: the rose and the book.

Catalan literature for the soul

But Sant Jordi wouldn’t be complete without books. And this year, at Leña Barcelona, we wanted to pay tribute to Catalan literature in a very special way. Every guest who joins us on April 23rd will receive, as a gift, a book of poems by Catalan authors. A small gift with a big heart, carefully chosen so that every page sparks emotion.

Because we believe gastronomy is culture, too. That a dish can move you just like a verse. And that words, just like fire, can leave a mark.

A day to savour with all the senses

The Sant Jordi experience at Leña Barcelona is designed to be enjoyed with all five senses: the scent of our Tarda di Rose, the texture of paper in your hands, the smoky flavours from our grill, the warmth of the atmosphere, and the emotion of a city devoted to books and flowers.

Our regular menu will be available as always, with dishes that reinterpret tradition through the technique of fire. But on this day, everything will taste a little different—more festive, more literary. Because when the city celebrates, so do we.

Sant Jordi, the tradition that burns at Leña

The story of Sant Jordi is one of bravery, beauty, and culture. The knight, the princess, the dragon, and the rose have become symbols of a unique day that can only be experienced this way in Catalonia. And at Leña Barcelona, we want each of our guests to feel that tradition, that passion, and that pride for who we are.

So this April 23rd, come and experience Sant Jordi with us. Treat yourself to a special moment. Share a rose, sip a cocktail, take home a book. Let poetry not only be read—but felt, sipped, shared.

Leña Barcelona is burning with excitement to celebrate Book Day with you.
Because when tradition meets fire, something unforgettable is born.
