Lobito de Mar | Grupo Dani Garcia

The endless sunsets are over, as are the guilt-free siestas and the midday toasts. September brings us back to routine, yes—but with a taste of the sea. And let’s be clear: that’s never a synonym for boredom. At Lobito de Mar Madrid, coming back feels lighter: it tastes of the ocean, smells of the grill, and is best shared in good company.

Because if there’s anything better than a holiday, it’s the feeling of still savoring one without having to take days off.

The Mediterranean is still on your table

You don’t need to escape Madrid to feel like summer hasn’t completely left. All it takes is stopping by Lobito and letting the menu do the work. Like the creamy, delicate smoked eel Russian salad that awakens your senses like that very first coffee of the day. Or the sautéed clams with manzanilla, carrying the scents of the south and of home.

Here, the routine breaks with every rice dish. The seafood and fish rice is one of those recipes that forces you to pause. To slow down. To shut the laptop early. Because some things can only be enjoyed when you take your time—like that broth that tastes of slow fire and calm seas.

Good food is the best way back

The return to the office, the traffic, and the shorter days can feel heavy. But at Lobito de Mar, the solution is simple: dishes infused with the soul of the sea, an atmosphere that invites you to linger, and a team that cooks as if they’re trying to make your day easier.

And yes, the tuna ribeye carpaccio with garlicky fried eggs is still there. Ready to reconnect you with that simple joy of eating something that makes you happy. Like an anchor reminding you that even if you’re back to the usual pace, you can still gift yourself moments that taste like an escape.

September can be your best month too

Because not everything has to go back to order. You can improvise. Treat a Tuesday like it’s Saturday. Have a weekday lunch as if you were still on the coast. Let the sea come to your plate and bring back your appetite for life. At Lobito de Mar Madrid, September isn’t the end of summer. It’s a new opportunity to start with flavor. To return, but return well. With the sea on your plate, wine in your glass, and the promise that routine can wait… at least until dessert.

Summer may be coming to an end, but at Lobito de Mar Madrid, the flavor is still sailing with the wind at its back. Because some dates don’t need fireworks to feel special. And September 7th is one of them: Lobito de Mar celebrates six years of bringing the Mediterranean straight to the table — no filters, no frills. Six years where the sea, rice, and the good life have been the ingredients of a story that tastes like celebration.

A journey that began with a taste of salt

It all started in 2019, when the spirit of an upscale beach bar and a seafood counter arrived in Madrid with a clear promise: to offer the best of the sea right in the heart of the capital. Since then, every dish has been a memory. A summer that never ends. A slice of the coast sneaking through the streets of Madrid, making the asphalt smell like sea breeze and the sobremesa stretch out like a holiday afternoon.

The soul of Lobito isn’t just in the kitchen — it’s in that unmistakable way of making the sea feel close. From Monday to Sunday, every service is a chance to escape without packing a bag. And that’s why, when its birthday comes around, it doesn’t need a big party — just sitting at the table is enough to understand why so many keep coming back for more.

The carpaccio that stole our hearts

Some dishes need no introduction. At Lobito de Mar, the chuletón-style tuna carpaccio with garlic-fried eggs is one of them. From day one, it’s been an icon. A bold statement. Because here, food doesn’t just nourish — it stirs. It surprises. And above all, it moves you.

It’s the kind of bite that makes you pause. That makes you close your eyes for a second to fully savor it. A carpaccio that sums up what Lobito is all about: a place where the classic meets the unexpected, and where every recipe is a little adventure.

A celebration lived at every table

Even without candles or official toasts, Lobito de Mar Madrid’s anniversary is celebrated with every service, every perfectly cooked rice dish, every glass raised during a meal with friends. Because turning another year isn’t just about looking back — it’s about continuing to cook the present with the same passion as day one.

Six years later, its essence remains intact. The product is still the star. The atmosphere — laid-back, yet refined. And the team brings that spark that makes every visit feel like returning to a familiar place, where there’s always something new to discover.
Because yes — six years of tasting the sea at Lobito.

Octopus, that fascinating marine creature as versatile as it is in gastronomy, has its own day of tribute: International Octopus Day. Every October 8th, seafood lovers around the world celebrate this day with dishes that highlight the delicacy of this cephalopod, with one dish in particular that holds a special place in Spanish cuisine: Pulpo a la Gallega, and at Lobito de Mar Marbella, we couldn’t forget about it.

A Dish with History and Tradition

Pulpo a la Gallega, or “Pulpo á Feira” as it is also known, is a dish that embodies the essence of Galician gastronomy. Its simplicity in ingredients and preparation only serves to highlight the quality of the main product: the octopus. Cooked to perfection, sliced into rounds, and seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, paprika (sweet or spicy, to taste), and coarse salt. All of this is served on a bed of boiled potatoes that is a must.

But this dish is not just a recipe; it’s a tradition, an experience that takes us back to Galician festivals, where it is enjoyed informally, but with a reverent respect for the main ingredient.

History of Pulpo a la Gallega

Pulpo a la Gallega has its roots in the ancient Galician pilgrimages, where this delicacy was prepared in large copper cauldrons during fairs. Originally, octopus was not a local product; it arrived from the coasts of North Africa, transported along the Camino de Santiago. Galician fishermen began incorporating it into their diet due to its easy preservation in brine. Over time, octopus became an essential food in Galician popular celebrations.

The use of paprika, imported after the discovery of the Americas, is what gave it the characteristic touch we know today, combining the flavors of the sea with the smoky aroma of this spice. In this way, Pulpo a la Gallega has transcended borders, becoming an iconic dish not only in Galicia but throughout Spain.

So whether you enjoy it at home or in a restaurant like Lobito de Mar, this October 8th, don’t forget to pay tribute to the octopus with a good Pulpo a la Gallega! The perfect excuse to savor a tradition with modern touches.
