Lobito de Mar was born inspired by the beach bars of southern Spain, but until now it had always been located away from the shoreline. Today, chef Dani García’s seafood concept arrives on the Mediterranean coast with the opening of its new Ibiza restaurant, just steps from the sand, where sunbeds face the sea and long lunches are measured by the position of the sun.

Located next to The Unexpected Ibiza Hotel, within the gastronomic hub The Site Ibiza, the new Lobito de Mar overlooks the Mediterranean, bringing to the island the relaxed approach to seafood dining that has defined the concept since its inception. Beachfront sunbeds, an open-air terrace overlooking the sea, and a culinary offering designed to match the unhurried rhythm of summer days come together to create an experience made to be enjoyed without rushing.

The menu preserves the essence that has made Lobito de Mar one of the most distinctive concepts within the Dani García Group: exceptional seafood, rice dishes, traditional Andalusian fried specialties, daily market fish, and a cuisine that combines tradition, technique and a deeply Mediterranean spirit.

Joining these signature dishes is a selection of creations developed exclusively for Ibiza, celebrating the island’s local ingredients and flavours. Highlights include the Ibiza tomato salad with crostes, olive juice and basil; charcoal-grilled squid with Ibizan sobrasadarotja, one of the island’s most emblematic local fish; and Ibiza’s prized red prawns, served in a variety of preparations that showcase the outstanding quality of the product. The island’s lobster also takes centre stage in a menu that embraces its surroundings while remaining true to Lobito de Mar’s identity.

Rice dishes—one of Lobito de Mar’s defining signatures—also feature exclusive Ibiza-inspired creations, including dry rice with rock fish, cuttlefish and Ibizan potatoes, black rice with monkfish and local squid, and black fideuá with charcoal-grilled octopus and Ibizan sobrasada. These are dishes designed to be shared around the table while the Mediterranean sets the pace of the day.

Alongside these new additions, guests will also find some of the restaurant’s most celebrated classics, including the bluefin tuna loin carpaccio, the duo tartare of tuna belly and descargamento, tableside guacamole served with crispy crystal shrimp, and the smoked eel and piparra potato salad. Charcoal-grilled market fish, such as wild turbot and sea bass, complete a menu that maintains its connection to Marbella and Madrid while finding its own unique expression in Ibiza.

With this opening, Lobito de Mar adds a new destination to its culinary journey across Spain, further strengthening its vision of gastronomy, where the sea, outstanding produce and the Mediterranean lifestyle coexist naturally.

It is a setting that perfectly reflects the essence of the concept, making Ibiza the place where its inspiration finds its fullest expression. Andalusia as its soul, the Mediterranean as its rhythm, and, at last, the sand beneath your feet.

Tarifa smells of sea salt, the Levante wind, and sunsets that scream for a good bite. If the South is a state of mind, this corner of Cadiz where the Atlantic and the Mediterranean shake hands is, without a doubt, its most vibrant version.

Here you don’t come in a rush. You come to go with the flow, to get your hands messy eating, and to stretch the day out until the sky turns orange. If you’re wondering how to organize your trip so you don’t miss a thing, save this guide.

After an intense morning dodging waves or simply enjoying the Cadiz breeze, your body asks for a well-deserved break. The best plan to recharge is eating with your feet in the sand and the sea on the horizon. For that, there is nothing like discovering the traveling, laid-back proposal of BiBo Tarifa, now Tumbao X BiBo.

RESTAURANTES EN TARIFA DE DANI GARCÍA

What to do on a weekend in Tarifa

The order of factors doesn’t alter the product, but starting by stepping on cobblestones is always a good idea.

  • Get lost in the historic center. The white facades contrast with the intense blue of doors and windows, and history assaults you at every corner.
  • Walk through the arch of the medieval wall, visit the Santiago church, and peek at the imposing Guzmán el Bueno Castle.
  • If just walking isn’t your thing and your body craves action, the wind is calling you.
  • From quad or horseback routes through the Estrecho Natural Park to the true local religion: the water. Kitesurfing, windsurfing, or paddle boarding. It doesn’t matter if you’re a pro or if you’re going to swallow seawater for the first time, adrenaline is guaranteed.

Beaches where you lose track of time

Tarifa has twenty kilometers of fine, golden sand. There is plenty of space to stick your umbrella.

  • You can head towards Bolonia to swim in crystal-clear waters next to the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia, or seek out the surfer vibe on the extensive Los Lances beach.
  • Nor can you overlook Punta Paloma and its immense virgin sand dune.
  • But if you ask us, the compass always points in the same direction: Valdevaqueros beach.

Tumbao X BiBo: the afternoon vibe that demands a mandatory stop

Four kilometers of beach, the dune in the background, the sound of kites in the air, and hunger starting to bite. It is the perfect setting.

This year, the Valdevaqueros experience levels up with Tumbao X BiBo. Dani García‘s most rogue and traveling essence merges with Tarifa’s most iconic beach bar.

Picture the plan. Bare feet on the grass, live music setting the rhythm, and the kitchen running at full speed.

That first bite of the legendary oxtail brioche, feeling the hot meat melt in contrast with the soft texture of the bread.

Brioche de rabo de toro Tarifa

Or the bright red of our Almadraba tuna tartare, tasting the sea in its purest state while the sun begins to drop over the horizon.

Because sunsets at Tumbao X BiBo aren’t just watched; they are lived and tasted. Conversations lower in volume, the sky bursts into warm colors, and you have the perfect drink in your hand.

Tarifa has a magnetism that traps you, and this corner is to blame for making you always want to return.

Dani García’s fire-driven cuisine has found its home in Ibiza. After achieving success in Marbella, Madrid, Barcelona, Dubai and Bodrum, Leña arrives in the Balearic Islands with an opening that further cements the concept as one of the world’s leading references in contemporary wood-fired dining. The official launch, held last night at the restaurant located within BLESS Ibiza The Site Playa d’en Bossa, brought together a host of guests, including Aron Piper, Victoria Federica de Marichalar, Lucía Rivera and Miriam Giovanelli, for an evening that marked the official start of Leña’s first season on the island. Setting the tone for the night was DJ Andrea Vandall, who performed a back-to-back set with international superstar Diplo in a surprise appearance for guests.

Leña was born in Marbella with a clear vision: to place fire at the heart of the table and transform grilling into its own culinary language, capable of showcasing exceptional ingredients, refined technique and meticulously designed surroundings. Over the years, that vision has evolved into a globally recognised concept, now present in some of the world’s most influential gastronomic destinations. Ibiza now joins that journey as a natural next step, perfectly aligned with a destination where dining plays a central role in the summer lifestyle.

On the island, Leña brings its distinctive universe to a contemporary space with seating for 210 guests. The menu features the signature dishes that have made Leña one of the most recognisable names in modern Spanish cuisine, including the legendary “the burger that gave meaning to it all,” Málaga grilled avocado, and tableside steak tartare. These iconic creations sit alongside premium local Ibizan produce and exclusive cuts of meat, with the debut of the new Fire & Caviarsection—created exclusively for Ibiza—where this luxurious ingredient meets the restaurant’s signature fire-driven cooking. Highlights range from the A5 Wagyu Katsu Burger to extra-crispy fried chicken topped with caviar.

The culinary experience is complemented by a bespoke drinks programme, pairing premium spirits with a creative cocktail selection featuring smoky and tropical notes. Signature serves such as the Negroni Iceberg, presented over a sculptural block of ice, and El Leñero, crafted with mezcal, passion fruit foam, vanilla and citrus, embody the same contemporary creativity that defines the restaurant’s cuisine, making every cocktail a natural extension of the overall experience.

Beyond the dining table, Leña Ibiza has been conceived as a complete destination designed to match the island’s vibrant energy. Nightly DJ sessions create an atmosphere that transitions effortlessly from relaxed daytime lunches to dinners that continue well into the evening.

With this opening, Leña adds another destination to its growing international portfolio while reinforcing Dani García Group’s commitment to the Balearic Islands. This summer, the group expands its presence in Ibiza with both Leña and Lobito de Mar, while also preparing for its upcoming debut in Mallorca with the opening of Mandarin Oriental Punta Negra.

The incomparable magic of the night of San Juan

Marbella fills with energy at the beginning of summer. As the sun goes down, the traditional bonfires light up the Malaga coastline and people stroll dressed in white to attract good vibes.

Tradition dictates approaching the shore at midnight to jump waves or get your feet wet, a ritual to purify the soul and attract good luck. But before fulfilling the superstitions on the sand, the experience begins by sharing an excellent table. If you are looking for restaurants near the beach in Marbella to experience the maritime atmosphere, or if you prefer the intimacy of the best gastronomic temples, we present you with a sophisticated guide for your dinner on June 23.

The best restaurants to celebrate San Juan

The choice of the right restaurant will set the tone for your evening. So that you get it completely right, we detail four exceptional gastronomic proposals backed by the quality seal of the Dani García Group, designed so that your dinner becomes a festival for the senses:

La Cabane: Exclusivity, design, and luxury facing the sea

If you are looking for restaurants near the beach in Marbella with international sophistication and glamour, La Cabane is your dream destination. This iconic beach club fuses haute couture, resident DJ music, and excellent gastronomy just a few meters from the sand.

Dining here on June 23 means embracing the concept of dolce far niente under the starry sky. Its paradisiacal setting turns every toast into an unforgettable memory. To learn the details of its remodeling, discover how a new life was given to La Cabane hand in hand with the prestigious Italian firm Dolce & Gabbana.

Lobito de Mar: The unmistakable freshness of the sea at your table

The festivity of San Juan is synonymous with a coastal atmosphere, the aroma of saltpeter, and maritime tradition. If you are looking for where to dine on San Juan in Marbella to enjoy the authentic flavor of Andalusia, Lobito de Mar is a mandatory stop. This fresh concept brings the essence of the classic traditional chiringuito to the heart of Marbella’s Golden Mile.

At its tables, roasted espetos, intense rice dishes, and fresh seafood are the main protagonists of the night. It is the ideal atmosphere, relaxed but impeccable, to go with family or friends and get carried away by the joy of summer.

Leña: A resounding and delicious tribute to fire in the night

The festivity of San Juan revolves around the purifying power of fire. If we transfer this devotion to haute cuisine, the indisputable temple of embers bears the name of Leña. If you are a lover of good meat and are looking for a hearty dinner before strolling along the illuminated beach, this sophisticated steakhouse will conquer you.

It will envelop you with its warm atmosphere, its award-winning interior design, and its premium cuts of meat cooked to perfection over embers of different woods. Dining here is the tastiest way to pay tribute to fire. We invite you to recall what the long-awaited and tremendous moment was like when Leña arrived to completely revolutionize the demanding gastronomic scene in Marbella.

Tragabuches: Pure Andalusian tradition and a return to the roots

For those who decide to celebrate San Juan 2026 looking for a deeper connection with the traditions of our land, Tragabuches represents the most successful choice. In this cozy space, you can breathe the love for what is ours, and the excellent zero-kilometer Andalusian product shines with its own light.

Its proposal recovers traditional flavors, homemade stews, and family recipes under impeccable culinary technique. It is a warm environment that invites a long after-dinner conversation before going out to contemplate the bonfires. If you want to delve deeper into its origin, we recommend reading about how Dani García returns to his deepest roots with the Tragabuches project.

Book in advance for the shortest night of the year

The festive night of June 23 registers the highest hospitality occupancy rate of the summer season on the Costa del Sol every year. Consequently, to avoid last-minute setbacks and ensure that your celebration starts in the best way, we recommend being proactive and securing your table well in advance.

Do not leave such an important plan subject to last-minute improvisation and guarantee a perfect evening, tasting exceptional delicacies right before the emblematic bonfires of San Juan begin to burn strongly, illuminating the entire Marbella coast on an unrepeatable night.

An ordinary Wednesday can change everything

Some Wednesdays pass without leaving a trace. Others end with laughter, toasts, and dishes that bring memories back to life.
Country Wednesdays at BiBo Madrid have that unexpected effect.

Everything begins as the evening falls. Madrid keeps moving fast. But inside BiBo, time slows to a different rhythm. A shared table. A cold drink. And a different culinary journey every single week.

Country Wednesdays at BiBo Madrid are the perfect excuse to break the routine. Because sometimes you do not need a plane ticket to feel far away.

Flavours that tell stories

Each month brings its own accent. Right now, Mexico takes the spotlight, letting guests experience its culinary story firsthand. People do not come here only for dinner. They come to talk about every bite. To ask for “one more dish to share.”

Maybe it is a flavour-packed taco that makes you close your eyes. Or a pasta dish that feels like endless holidays by the sea. Everything carries that fun and fearless touch that makes BiBo special. That Andalusian soul that turns every dinner into a celebration.

The warm lights, the music, and the movement in the room complete the atmosphere. Something is always happening. There is always a table celebrating something important.

And maybe that is the secret. Country Wednesdays at BiBo Madrid are not only about food. They are about moments.

The plan everyone wants to repeat

Some groups of friends have already made it a tradition. Others arrive out of curiosity and end up booking again for the following week.

Because every edition surprises. Every country leaves new flavours in your memory. And every Wednesday has a different energy. BiBo Madrid achieves something truly difficult. It makes a midweek dinner feel like the best plan of the month.

At a time when everything moves too quickly, finding a place where conversations last for hours means a lot. Even more when the table is full of dishes made for sharing.

Grupo Dani García understands that way of enjoying life perfectly. No protocols. No complications. Just great food and a good time.

A journey that always leaves you wanting more

When you leave BiBo, Madrid is still waiting outside. But somehow, you leave feeling different. With the flavours still on your mind. With new stories to tell. And with that happy feeling only spontaneous nights can bring.

Country Wednesdays at BiBo Madrid have something addictive about them. Maybe it is the perfect mix of surprise, atmosphere, and incredible food.

Or maybe they simply remind us of something important. Happiness often fits around a table full of shared dishes. And when that happens, it is always worth repeating.

We are waiting for you every Wednesday at BiBo Madrid to travel without leaving the city.

Book now!

After a year and a half revolutionising the gastronomic scene in the Catalan capital, Leña Barcelona, chef Dani García’s acclaimed fire-based dining concept, is expanding its horizons with the official opening of its terrace. Located within the exclusive Grand Hyatt Barcelona hotel, this new space has been designed as a sophisticated retreat to enjoy fire-cooked cuisine in the open air.

An oasis of sophistication in Les Corts

The Leña terrace is more than an extension; it is an oasis created for those seeking exclusivity and a vibrant atmosphere in the vicinity of Plaça de Pius XII. The space blends cutting-edge design with the warmth of the Leña universe, offering a balanced and relaxed ambiance that invites guests to linger into the evening. It stands as the perfect enclave for both local and international audiences wishing to enjoy Barcelona’s skyline from a setting of peace and absolute luxury.

The greatest hits, now al fresco

Since its opening, Leña has become “the place to be”, a meeting point for the city’s cosmopolitan scene, including figures from culture, fashion and sport, as well as food lovers who have made it their go-to restaurant in Barcelona. In this new outdoor chapter, guests will continue to enjoy the “hits” that have already become part of the city’s culinary imagination: from the iconic grilled Málaga avocado to the signature foie for spreading, alongside exclusive cuts of meat and the already legendary “burger that gave it all meaning.” A proposal that preserves Dani García’s technical excellence, now adapted to fully embrace the Mediterranean climate and the finest nights of the season.

Leña and Barcelona: a relationship that burns stronger than ever

Leña’s commitment to local culture remains as strong as ever. Coinciding with the opening of its terrace, the restaurant announces its participation, for the second time, in Tast a la Rambla.

The restaurant will once again delight gastronomy enthusiasts with its most passionate creation: the burger known as “the burger that gave it all meaning.” After causing a true sensation in the previous edition, this cult piece will return to the streets to reaffirm why Leña has earned a place in the heart (and palate) of Barcelona in just a year and a half of its journey.

Let’s be honest. If you are reading this, you already know that a real burger isn’t just a piece of meat slapped between two boring buns. May 28th is International Burger Day—the ultimate excuse to ditch the diet and pay tribute to this iconic bite. But in Dani García’s universe, we don’t just make burgers to get by. We make them so you can’t stop thinking about them.

And this year, we’re making your choice incredibly hard. Because Leña’s legendary Burger Bull is no longer playing solo. BiBo has just entered the game with a brand-new smash burger that is completely breaking the rules. The same DNA, the same devotion to our iconic Bull Sauce, but two entirely different experiences. Which side are you on?

Leña: The Burger Bull that started it all

If you are looking for classic perfection driven by live fire, Leña is your place. From day one, the mission was crystal clear: elevate the burger to the ranks of haute cuisine.

No gimmicks, just pure obsession with details:

  • The Meat: An impeccable selection, minced to the exact point to guarantee a juicy bite that literally melts in your mouth.
  • The Fire: The open flame of the grill isn’t just a cooking method; it’s an ingredient. That deep, smoky touch is non-negotiable.
  • The Architecture: A brioche bun so soft on the inside and perfectly toasted on the outside, embracing melted Havarti cheese and, of course, Dani García’s unmistakable, iconic Bull Sauce.

Ordering the Burger Bull at Leña (whether you are in Marbella, Madrid, or Barcelona) isn’t just dining; it’s a ritual. It’s the aroma of the embers taking over the table right before that first bite forces you to close your eyes.

BiBo: The new “Smash” that came to break the rules

If Leña is the elegance of fire, BiBo is pure, unadulterated indulgence.

We knew the smash burger fever was here to stay, but we weren’t about to make just another regular burger. We took the technique of smashing the meat against a screaming hot griddle and gave it the ultimate BiBo twist.

The result? Absolute, addictive madness.

  • Maillard reaction to the limit: Ultra-crispy, caramelized edges contrasting with an absurdly tender and juicy center.
  • Drowned in Sauce: We don’t hold back here. BiBo’s new smash burger comes loaded with heavy amounts of Bull Sauce. Every single bite is a flavor explosion that will require more than one napkin. (And you won’t care at all).

It’s edgy, it’s fun, and it’s designed for you to get your hands dirty and just enjoy it like a kid.

This May 28th, choose your side

International Burger Day isn’t meant to be celebrated at home with a defrosted patty. It’s meant to be celebrated by worshipping high-quality meat.

Book your table at Leña or BiBo now and celebrate Burger Day the way it deserves.

There are products that define the calendar. With the arrival of spring, wild bluefin tuna caught using the traditional almadraba method once again takes centre stage in southern gastronomy. A product shaped by time, migration, and the precise point of fat content, whose season marks one of the most anticipated moments of the culinary year.

Within this context, Lobito de Mar, Dani García’s seafood concept, presents a special proposal together with Gadira, the leading name in the selection and treatment of this exceptional product. A collaboration born from respect for origin and raw ingredients, understanding each piece as part of a tradition deeply connected to the land, and recognising tuna as a product intrinsically linked to a territory and a way of doing things.

True to its way of looking to the sea, Lobito de Mar offers a journey that explores tuna through different cuts and techniques, combining raw preparations with others inspired by traditional recipes, always through a contemporary lens. The proposal brings together dishes served raw, where the texture and quality of the product are clearly appreciated, with other creations connected to the traditional cuisine of southern Spain.

The journey begins with bites such as black loin chirashi sushi with cured egg yolk and furikake, or o’toro sashimi with ponzu and yuzu kosho, and continues with dishes such as white loin tiradito with rocoto tiger’s milk, avocado and coriander. The menu gains depth with marinated tuna belly served with potato chips, and with the Cadiz-style fideuá of grilled parpatana tuna collar, a dish that connects directly with the flavours of the south.

Beyond technique, the true value of wild bluefin tuna from almadraba lies in its seasonality. Its catch takes place during a very specific moment of the year, when it reaches the perfect balance between fat and texture. In this process, Gadira’s work is essential: a model that covers everything from selection at origin to the artisanal ronqueo cutting process, ensuring full traceability and absolute control over every piece.

With this proposal, Lobito de Mar once again places the focus on what truly matters: the product, the moment, and the place. A way of understanding gastronomy where the sea sets the rhythm, and where every season has something to tell.

Available from April 27 to May 31 at Lobito Marbella and Madrid.
