Dani García is one of Andalusia chefs with the biggest international profiles. In a single dish, he manages to combine traditional products from his part of the world with techniques & ingredients used in more international ways of cooking.

His restaurant Smoked Room, in Madrid, debuted in the Michelin Guide with two stars, a recognition that no other restaurant had received since 1936. After being awarded three Michelin stars, he decided to take his cooking around the world.

Only three weeks after having been awarded the three Michelin stars, he announced to the world that he was closing his restaurant to focus on a new & even more ambitious dream: making Spanish cuisine an overall more casual affair.

In 2021, Leña Marbella was recognized as the most beautiful restaurant in the world by the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards. That same year, Smoked Room in Madrid earned two Michelin Stars just six months after opening, making history by receiving two awards in one gala. In 2019, the chef was honored as the "Favorite Son of Andalusia" & received the Sánchez Cotán Award from the Royal Academy of Gastronomy for Best Menu Design for BiBo Marbella & BiBo Madrid. Additionally, in 2016, BiBo Marbella was awarded a Bib Gourmand, further cementing its culinary excellence.
