Una noche que no se repite

Hay días que se marcan solos en el calendario.
El 18 de enero, El Coleccionista viaja a Leña Barcelona, y lo hace sin maletas, pero con tres cócteles que solo existen durante ese día.

No es una casualidad.
Es un viaje entre ciudades, entre conceptos y entre barras que entienden el lujo desde el disfrute y no desde la solemnidad.

Porque cuando El Coleccionista viaja a Leña Barcelona, lo hace como quien visita la casa de un amigo que comparte el mismo lenguaje: fuego, carácter y noches que se alargan sin mirar el reloj.

Cuando Madrid y Barcelona se encuentran

El Coleccionista es ese speakeasy que se esconde dentro de BiBo Madrid.
Un lugar donde el cóctel se bebe despacio y la noche siempre promete algo más. Por un solo día, ese espíritu cruza el mapa y aterriza en Leña Barcelona.

No hace falta reserva especial.
No hay pases secretos.
Solo sentarse, pedir y dejarse llevar por una carta efímera que no volverá a repetirse.

Tres cócteles. Una sola fecha

Durante la tarde del 18 de enero, Leña Barcelona servirá tres cócteles creados por El Coleccionista.
Tres formas distintas de entender el equilibrio, el aroma y el recuerdo.

Yemayá es profundidad y caricia.
Ron Brugal 1888, especias, yogur griego y lima secada al sol.
Un cóctel que envuelve y que, además, tiene opción sin alcohol.

Perenne es fresco y directo.
Roku Gin, salvia, pandan y soda.
De esos tragos que se beben sin pensar y se recuerdan después.

Brioche Espresso Martini es puro capricho.
Vodka Suntory Haku, café y nata de pan brioche.
El final perfecto para una comida larga o el inicio de una sobremesa peligrosa.

Leña Barcelona, el escenario perfecto

Hay lugares que saben adaptarse sin perder identidad.
Leña Barcelona es uno de ellos.

Su ambiente cálido, su energía constante y ese punto canalla hacen que la coctelería encuentre aquí un terreno natural.
Aquí el fuego manda, pero también el ritmo de la ciudad y las ganas de celebrar cualquier excusa.

Por eso El Coleccionista viaja a Leña Barcelona con tanta coherencia.
Porque ambos entienden que la experiencia no se explica, se vive.

Solo por un día

Este no es un evento que dure semanas.
No es una carta que se quede.

Es una fecha concreta, un cruce de caminos y una invitación clara:
venir, probar y contar que estuviste ahí.

El 18 de enero, Leña Barcelona se convierte en punto de encuentro para amantes del lifestyle, foodies y curiosos del buen beber.
Y cuando acabe el día, los cócteles desaparecerán.
Como deben hacerlo las mejores historias.

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.

Madrid never ends. It has something that draws you in, that makes you walk a little further, linger at the table a little longer, say “yes” to one last drink even if it’s late. And in the middle of all that vibrant rhythm, there are corners where time seems to stand still. Places where the food is unforgettable, the laughter even better, and the memories last forever. This is a must-do in Madrid with Dani García’s signature touch—just one day, but one you’ll want to repeat.

Coffee and art in the Barrio de Salamanca

Start your day like the locals: with a café con leche on a sunny terrace and a perfectly crisp croissant. Then lose yourself among the streets of Serrano, Ortega y Gasset, or Jorge Juan. Boutiques, bookshops, galleries… luxury and authenticity walk hand in hand in this neighborhood made for strolling at a slow pace.

A museum (or two) to whet your appetite

Madrid wouldn’t be Madrid without its museums. The Prado if you’re in the mood for the classics, the Thyssen if you love discovering new things, or the Reina Sofía if modern art is more your style. Prefer something less conventional? Explore a temporary exhibition or step inside one of the city’s hidden palaces.

A taste of travel at BiBo Madrid

By now, your body is ready for something delicious. BiBo Madrid has the perfect formula: Andalusian soul with a traveler’s spirit. Start with a braised oxtail brioche that’s pure indulgence, continue with ceviche paired with freshly made guacamole, or let yourself be surprised by an oxtail dim sum with a Jerez twist.

The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and laid-back charm. Soft music, impeccable service, and that unmistakable feeling of being in the right place. Because yes: the most flavorful summer is lived at BiBo even in the heart of Madrid.

A stroll through El Retiro (and a siesta, if you can)

After such a feast, it’s time to slow down. El Retiro is the perfect spot: a timeless classic that never gets old. Rent a boat, or simply wander without a map. Madrid, with its must-do in Madrid, is also best enjoyed in silence.

Dinner over the flames at Leña Madrid

And to close the day, it’s time for fire. Literally. Leña Madrid is a celebration of the grill, of technique, of deep, smoky flavor. Here, dry-aged meat becomes a true work of art. The roasted bone marrow is a revelation. Fire-kissed vegetables earn their rightful starring role. Every detail is carefully considered—from the perfect sear to the tableware itself. Fire is the secret at Leña, but so is the atmosphere: modern, elegant, vibrant. Perfect for a date, a special gathering, or simply to treat yourself without excuses.

Liquid art

After dinner, let the night begin at El Coleccionista. Between warm lights and great music, each cocktail becomes the star of the evening—perfect for closing the day, or starting the night in style.

A Midday Full of Flavour

There are days that deserve more. More flavour, more calm, more beauty. Days that, in the midst of the city’s hustle, call for a stylish pause. A well-set table, a chilled glass, and a menu that reminds you why lunch can be the best moment of the day. That’s exactly what Leña Barcelona’s lunch menu is made for.

Eating Slowly, with Style

You don’t have to wait for a special dinner to enjoy a gastronomic experience that has it all. Just step inside the Grand Hyatt Barcelona and let yourself be swept away by what many call the most beautiful restaurant in the city — and rightly so. Leña is spectacular. And at the heart of it all, the fire. The one that gives the restaurant its name — and its soul.

Because here, it’s not just about eating. It’s about enjoying without rushing. Sitting down and feeling like time is finally on your side. And that’s exactly what Leña Barcelona’s lunch menu offers: the perfect pause between meetings, calls and to-do lists.

A Curated Menu Designed to Delight

Every weekday at noon, Leña lays out a selection crafted for those who know what they like. Start with a cold appetiser: perhaps the smoked burrata — soft and silky — or the famous Caesar salad with that irresistible crunch from the very first bite. Then something warm: butifarra de perol croquettes that smell like real home-cooked food, or the duo of yakis — wing and meatball — that mix local roots with a worldly twist.

As a main course, there’s plenty to choose from. A Josper-aged picanha with grilled vegetables and romesco sauce (a bold, classic combo), or sea bass lovingly matured for three days. If you’re a meat lover, the Burger Bull never disappoints. And for seafood fans, the roasted salmon with piquillo peppers and tapenade is a winner.

And for Dessert?

Dessert? If you go for the full 40€ menu, get ready to choose between an intense chocolate tart, a roasted pineapple tiradito that balances sweetness and freshness, or that flan that dreamed of becoming tocino de cielo. And guess what? It almost made it.

For 34€, you can enjoy two starters and a main course. For just 6€ more, add the sweet finale. Drinks not included — but something more important is: that feeling of being truly well looked after. Because that’s what happens when you choose Leña Barcelona’s lunch menu: wherever you sit, that moment is yours.

A Routine You’ll Look Forward To

Summer can feel long. Weeks can get heavy. But knowing there’s a lunch like this waiting on the other side of your inbox changes everything. And with September just around the corner, there’s no better way to ease into routine than with a plan like this.

You know it now: if you’re looking to eat well, slow down, and savour every moment in style — this is your sign.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Two months after opening Leña at the Grand Hyatt Barcelona, Dani García will bring together 71 Michelin stars on February 10 to pay tribute to Joan Roca.

A unique event in the city, where gastronomy’s finest will gather to raise a glass—and a saucepan—to the legendary Catalan chef. Family, fellow chefs, and friends will share an unforgettable evening honoring his legacy.

Driven by admiration and deep gratitude, Dani García has gathered nearly 30 chef friends. Without hesitation, they’ll travel from all over Spain to join this heartfelt celebration of Joan Roca’s career and influence.

“His legacy isn’t just in his dishes or the flavors he’s left in our memories. It’s also in his humility, dedication, and passion,” says Dani García.

71 Michelin Stars for a Once-in-a-Lifetime Menu

For this occasion, Dani García has designed an exclusive 23-chef menu. This 46-hand collaboration will feature 21 courses, each inspired by Joan Roca’s cuisine, reinterpreted in a personal way by each chef.

The stellar lineup includes Albert Adrià, Andoni Luis Aduriz, Alberto Chicote, Diego Guerrero, Fina Puigdevall with Martina and Carlota Puigvert, Francis Paniego, Josean Alija, Marcos Morán, Nacho Manzano, Nandu Jubany, Oriol Castro, Paco Morales, Paco Pérez, Paco Roncero, Paolo Casagrande, Quique Dacosta, Rafa Zafra, Ramón Freixa, Ricard Camarena, and Toño Pérez.

They will stand alongside Dani García in this one-time event, joined by legendary culinary figures Ferran Adrià, Pedro Subijana, and Martin Berasategui, as well as close friends Carles Gaig and Salvador Brugués.

Twice named Best Chef in the World (2017, 2018) by The Best Chef Awards, Joan Roca has led El Celler de Can Roca* to global recognition, earning the title of Best Restaurant in the World in 2013 and 2015.

This tribute marks the revival of “A Cuatro Manos,” celebrating friendship, respect, and the art of honoring culinary legends.
