Some flavors don’t follow seasons. They linger on your palate the way salt clings to your skin after a swim in the sea. And even if the calendar says September, at Lobito de Mar Madrid, a summer that never ends. It stays served on every plate, in every rice dish, in every glass raised as if the sobremesa could last forever.

Because there are ways to stretch out the holidays without leaving the city. And the tastiest one begins when you sit down at the table, order without hurry, and let the Mediterranean do its thing.

The sea in the capital, no ticket required

Madrid has its own coastal hideaway. And no, you don’t need GPS to get there. Lobito de Mar has made it possible since 2019: bringing the South, the sea breeze, and the salt air in bite-sized form. Here, every service feels like a short but intense getaway. There may be no beach, but there’s ceviche. No parasols, but long drinks, slow laughter, and dishes that carry the soul of an elegant beach bar.

Because a summer that never leaves begins at the bar and ends with a seafood rice cooked over firewood, its deep stock saying everything without words. Or with tuna carpaccio and fried garlic eggs —a dish that’s already tradition, temptation, and ritual. One of those plates that stirs the appetite… and a memory or two.

A holiday state of mind, even on a Monday

You don’t need to travel to feel far from the noise. At Lobito, the mood shifts with the very first bite. Maybe it’s the smoked eel potato salad that melts even the sternest soul. Or the clams sautéed with manzanilla wine, the kind that make you close your eyes just to savor them in silence.

Weekday lunches here dress up in vine-shoot rice, crispy-skinned sea bass, or a tuna burger with lamb’s lettuce that goes down like a caress. And dessert… well, the fresh cheesecake speaks for itself. All it asks for is your appetite.

Because yes, the endless summer at Lobito de Mar is also the one where time doesn’t rush you. Where nobody checks the clock. And where, just for a while, you forget the routine and return to that beachside moment —a sobremesa without end, a glass in the sun.

Let September find you hungry

While some put away their beach umbrellas, here we keep serving holidays à la carte. Because the sea doesn’t leave, and neither does good flavor. And at Lobito, September is just an excuse to keep celebrating what we love most: eating well, sharing slowly, and toasting to long days… even if the sunsets come a little earlier.

So if this month feels like an uphill climb, you already know where to take shelter. At Lobito de Mar Madrid, summer never leaves —it’s served.

You don’t need to cross a locked door to come home. Sometimes, all it takes is an aroma, a flavor, a table that welcomes you without questions. At Tragabuches, every dish holds a touch of refuge, of roots, of embrace. There’s no artifice. Just ingredients, Andalusian soul, and cooking that stirs emotion. Because yes, dining at Tragabuches is coming home, even if it’s your first time walking in.

Roots served on a plate

The story of Tragabuches cannot be told without speaking of its origin—of that first restaurant that marked the beginning of the Dani García universe, and of this new version which is less of a return and more of a statement of principles. Here, cooking is done with truth. With ingredients that speak Andalusian, with times that respect the nature of the product, and with one clear intention: to reconnect. From the bread to the last bite of dessert, dining at Tragabuches is coming home—because everything tastes essential.

Product, flavor, and emotion

There are dishes that need no explanation. That arrive at the table with a universal language: the language of flavor that moves you. At Tragabuches, seasonal produce is everything. Vegetables that still carry the shine of the earth, fresh fish, noble meats… each treated with care, with respect, with intention. You don’t come here to test technique—you come here to feel. And in every dish, there’s something that reminds you of yourself.

The table as a meeting place

Dining at Tragabuches is not just a gastronomic experience—it’s a feeling. That of being in a place where everything makes sense. Where there’s no need to speak loudly, nor dress up. Where you sit down, take a deep breath, and think: this is it. That’s why dining at Tragabuches is coming home. Because it’s the kind of place you don’t just go to—you return to. Again and again.

Even if they spend the whole day saving the world, even superheroes need a good lunch. And if they had a day off in Madrid, Marbella, or Tarifa, they wouldn’t head to Stark Tower. They’d go out to eat. Because between parallel universes and galactic battles, there’s one unshakable truth: nothing beats a good meal at Grupo Dani García.

Picture the scene. Tony Stark parking his car in front of BiBo Madrid with the same style he lands in Monaco. Thor arriving at Leña with his hammer, as if it were part of the décor. And Wolverine… well, he wouldn’t bother with a reservation. He’d just walk in and order his usual.

BiBo Madrid: flavors for globetrotters (and billionaire geniuses)

What Iron Man would order at BiBo Madrid
Tony Stark knows exactly what he wants: he picks BiBo for its international vibe, chic atmosphere, and a menu that takes you on a trip without leaving your seat. He’d go for a braised oxtail brioche with Bull sauce, guacamole made to order—because perfection doesn’t wait—and pair it with champagne, of course. Not to show off. Well… maybe a little.

And Peter Parker, if he could sneak in with his student ID, would also choose BiBo Tarifa.
Young, curious, and perpetually hungry, he’d go for Barbate tuna tartare, a Japanese tapa “because it sounds like science,” and an ice-cold Coke to toast with MJ for surviving another semester.

Leña Marbella: where heroes roar

Thor at Leña Marbella
No menu needed—just a table by the fire. At Leña, the God of Thunder finds his place. A tomahawk steak worthy of Valhalla, ribs that fall apart at the mere sight, and embers that crackle like Mjölnir itself. To drink? Mead. Or something close enough.

Wolverine, of course, picks Leña Madrid
Silent, intense, and with zero tolerance for lukewarm plates. He’d order the steak tartare with a wild touch, and maybe some croquettes… if he’s in a good mood. He doesn’t share. Food or table.

Tragabuches Marbella: tradition in a gala suit

Black Panther feels at home at Tragabuches
Elegant, deeply principled, and with absolute respect for authenticity. T’Challa would find perfect harmony here: rooted cuisine, ingredients with history, and a chilled gazpacho that reminds him luxury lies in simplicity. His signature dish? A stew served in a clay pot, the kind that smells like truth.

Lobito de Mar: a feast for stellar travellers

Doctor Strange at Lobito de Mar Madrid
Mysterious, calculated, and with refined taste. No capes here, but ceviches that border on magic, clams in manzanilla wine, and a dry seafood rice that opens sensory portals. He’d order a glass of white wine and sit studying the plate as if reading his destiny.

Captain Marvel lands at Lobito de Mar Marbella

And she doesn’t go small. Oysters, tuna baby burger, vine-shoot rice… and cheesecake to finish the mission in glory. Powerful, yes but also with a weakness for top-quality products and lingering, unhurried sobremesas.

And you—what would you order?

We may not have Captain America’s shield or Wanda’s powers, but we do have something just as important: a taste for eating well. At Grupo Dani García, each restaurant is a different experience, like its own universe within the multiverse of flavor.

“What superheroes would order at Grupo Dani García” isn’t just a fantasy—it’s the perfect excuse to look at the menu with fresh eyes, to choose dishes the way you’d choose your next mission. Because here, the world isn’t saved. It’s savored.

And if you’re still not sure, think like an Avenger: choose your restaurant, make your reservation, and join the most delicious league on the planet.

There are flavors that need no introduction. Just one taste is enough for them to stay with you forever. And if there’s a land where flavor is identity, that land is Andalusia. Its olive oil, its tuna, its tomatoes, its wines… these are not just ingredients: they are culture, they are roots, they are the soul of a cuisine that knows nothing of haste or artifice. And in the restaurants of Grupo Dani García, that soul is served daily—dish by dish, corner by corner. Andalusia is tasted in every bite, and that’s the promise that unites every concept in the group: from the elegant grill of Leña to the salty freshness of Lobito de Mar, the globetrotting fusion of BiBo, and the tradition with a southern accent of Tragabuches.

Liquid gold that transforms everything

Let’s start with the most essential: extra virgin olive oil. At Grupo Dani García, it’s used the way a mother uses love in the kitchen: in everything. Sourced from select Andalusian mills, this EVOO doesn’t just cook it dresses, finishes dishes, perfumes cold soups, and enhances flavors.

A slice of toast with tomato at Tragabuches, a creamy potato salad at Lobito de Mar, or a tartare at BiBo… all are elevated when the oil is right. It’s not about quantity, but character. And Andalusia’s oil has plenty.

Red tuna: the ambassador of the Andalusian sea

Red tuna is another jewel served with pride. At BiBo, it appears in bold tartares and playful brioches. At Lobito de Mar, its essence is honored: delicate carpaccios, refined burgers, perfect loins. Always treated with respect, always the star. Because when a product is this noble, the real skill is knowing when to stop.

That’s the Andalusian secret: don’t mask what’s already beautiful.

Tomatoes with history, bread with craft

The Andalusian tomato fleshy, sweet, with a slight tang is one of those ingredients that needs only salt and oil to say it all. At Tragabuches, it becomes gazpacho, salmorejo, or a salad with tuna belly. But above all, it becomes a memory. Of childhood, of countryside, of an endless summer.

And let’s not forget Andalusian bread. Artisan-made, crunchy, with a crumb that begs to be dipped. The kind you don’t leave on the side of the plate, but make part of the ritual. At Leña, it pairs with meat, Lobito, it mops up marine sauces, Tragabuches, it soaks up the bottom of a stew.

Cheeses, charcuterie, and sweets with a southern accent

Payoyo cheese, Iberian pork loin, acorn-fed ham… products that speak with a southern accent and whet the appetite just by naming them. They’re served with care, perfectly sliced, and need nothing more than a good glass of wine to go with them.

And for the grand finale: dessert. From a creamy cheesecake to an olive oil ice cream or a citrusy tocino de cielo. Because Andalusia speaks through its sweets, too. With tradition, with sugar, and with that just-right touch that makes you say: “Just one more bite, please.”

The land as a flag

At Grupo Dani García’s restaurants, km 0 isn’t a trend—it’s a statement of principles. Andalusian products aren’t just present; they’re the centerpiece. Because there’s no innovation without roots, and no soulful cooking without honoring the origin. Andalusia is in every dish, and that flavor isn’t just about taste. It’s emotion, it’s history, it’s belonging. And with every bite, the South becomes universal.

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.

Smoked Room moves to Copenhagen for a very special pop-up. The award-winning Madrid restaurant with two Michelin stars, which also has a second location in Dubai, arrives in Copenhagen for the first time for an exclusive residency in the gardens of the legendary Tivoli Park.

From July 18 to August 20, acclaimed chef Dani García will plant his flag in one of the world’s culinary capitals, with Massimiliano Delle Vedove, head chef of Smoked Room Madrid, leading the kitchen. The team will take over the iconic Japanese Pagoda, a space that has previously hosted culinary stars such as Paco Morales, Poul Andrias Ziska, Alejandro Serrano, and Ana Roš, to offer an intimate and sophisticated dining experience that pays homage to fire, smoke, and the purity of ingredients. It is the highest expression of Dani García’s cuisine, blending his Andalusian roots with a Japanese spirit.

With two tasting menus of strong contemporary character, Smoked Room promises to captivate Danish diners with an intense, refined, and technical culinary style, widely regarded as one of the most unique in Spain.

During this residency, two versions of the Omakase menu will be available—one for lunch and one for dinner—each offering a carefully orchestrated sequence of dishes:

Omakase Menu – Lunch

• Red miso butter and dried yeast with brioche bread
• Oyster with ceviche dashi
• Danish “Skagenreje” shrimp, brown butter, and yuzu kosho
• Roasted tomato nectar, cherry tomatoes, and currants
• Smoked eel, nitro tomato, roasted red pepper caramel, and Málaga ajoblanco

Additional dishes available for both services:

• Smoked risotto with N25 caviar

All dishes are accompanied by bespoke wine pairings curated by award-winning sommelier Luis Baselga.

The original Madrid restaurant, with just 14 seats, was awarded two Michelin stars only six months after opening — an unprecedented achievement. It represents the most introspective and minimalist side of Dani García’s creative universe.

The setting for this residency could only be the magical Tivoli Gardens, one of Copenhagen’s most iconic locations since 1843. With its fairytale architecture, lush gardens, and enchanting atmosphere, Tivoli provides the perfect stage for this exclusive culinary experience that celebrates excellence, elegance, and the emotional power of food.

“At Smoked Room, we see smoke as more than a technique: it’s an element that enhances flavor, depth, and emotion in every dish. Diners can expect an intimate and sensory culinary journey, where fire and embers shape a menu that is both refined and surprising.”
— Massimiliano Delle Vedove, Head Chef

Some things just taste like summer. And then there’s the rice at Lobito de Mar. If you’re wondering where to eat rice in Marbella or Madrid, this is the place. Here, the Mediterranean sneaks into every grain. Into every pan. Into every spoonful. A rice that speaks of the sea, of fire, and of a cuisine best enjoyed in good company, with laughter, under the sun, or with a glass in hand.

Because there’s rice… and then there’s rice. But at Lobito de Mar, there are dishes that stay with you. The kind you already want to eat again before you even finish the plate. Whether in Marbella or Madrid, this is a temple for those looking for more than just rice. This is where the journey begins.

Dry rices: the taste of fire and summer

There’s something truly special about a well-made dry rice. That moment when the bottom crisps into a perfect crust. That aroma that hits your nose and stays there. At Lobito de Mar, the dry rices make a bold statement.

T-Bone of Almadraba tuna rice is pure daring. A dish where sea and fire meet. The boldness of tuna made unforgettable. Then there’s the classic: the fish and seafood rice, like a miniature sea on a plate. Packed with flavour, texture, and that rich base that makes you close your eyes.

Perfect to eat rice in Marbella after a morning at the beach. Or to enjoy on a sunny terrace in Madrid while forgetting the world.

Sarmiento-smoked rices: fire, smoke and soul

Some rices you never forget. And then there are the sarmiento-smoked rices at Lobito. Cooked over vine shoot embers, they absorb that unmistakable smoky aroma. Intense. Unique. Full of soul.

Coquelet chicken rice is a refined twist on a traditional favourite. The Iberian pork rib and mushroom rice feels like a walk through the mountains. The smoked eel, lardo, and crispy nori rice is pure fantasy, it could be Japanese, but it tastes unmistakably Andalusian. And the most indulgent of all, the beef chop rice, is bold, juicy, and perfect for sharing.

In Madrid, over a long lunch with friends. Or in Marbella, after a sun-soaked morning. Eating rice in Madrid or by the coast has never been this exciting.

Creamy rices: spoonfuls of comfort

Creamy rices are like a warm hug. Smooth, rich, and full of depth. Each spoonful takes you somewhere else. Add seafood, and it gets even better.

The Sanlúcar prawn rice with black trumpet mushrooms blends the best of the sea and the forest. Pure harmony. The Huelva red shrimp version also features those earthy mushrooms, but with a more intense marine flavour. And a true crowd favourite: the lobster rice, a timeless classic. Indulgent, powerful, and unforgettable.

Perfect for those who crave more than just rice. For those who see summer as a string of shared dishes. For those who know life is best savoured slowly.

Eating rice in Marbella and Madrid, all year round

Whether it’s August or November, it doesn’t matter. At Lobito de Mar, rice has no season. It tastes like the sea in Marbella. Like a warm memory in Madrid. And above all, it tastes like Dani García. His vision of cuisine. That balance between tradition and the unexpected.

Eating rice in Marbella or Madrid is not just an excuse — it’s a plan. A plan that smells of firewood, that’s served in a pan, and that starts with a drink and ends with a smile.

Where will you be eating rice this summer? At Lobito de Mar, of course.
