Dani Brasserie

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Rooftop Stage for Spanish Cuisine

On the seventh floor of the Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, Dani Brasserie occupies one of the most compelling vantage points in the city. The outdoor terrace opens up panoramic views of Madrid that, until this restaurant arrived, were simply not accessible to the public. Food, drink, design, music, and service are deliberately orchestrated here to work as a single, coherent whole — relaxed and elegant without tipping into stiffness.

The People Behind the Kitchen

The restaurant moves under the creative direction of Dani García, one of Spain's most decorated chefs, whose roots run deep in Marbella and the flavors of Andalusia. Day-to-day in the kitchen, chef Ignacio Vara carries that vision to the table, while Head Sommelier Claudia Gozalbes oversees a wine program that has earned the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence — a distinction given annually to restaurants with the world's finest wine lists, and one Dani Brasserie has held onto with consistency.

What Arrives at the Table

The menu is built on product excellence and what the team calls authenticity and fun. Traditional Andalusian gastronomy anchors the cooking — think bluefin tuna from the Cádiz coast, an ingredient with genuine regional identity — while the broader Spanish and international repertoire keeps the offer cosmopolitan. Some moments are purely theatrical: dishes arrive wrapped in a cloud of oak smoke; a waiter carves an orange tableside with unhurried precision. These are the kinds of details that stay with a diner.

The offering spans breakfast through late dinner, with a weekday set lunch menu and a Sunday brunch alongside the main à la carte.

The Room Itself

Interior designer Martin Brudnizki drew on Madrid's native architecture and Spanish colonial aesthetics, layering marble, leather, and velvet against living greenery. The result is a space that feels grounded in place rather than generically luxurious. When the terrace is open, the city stretches out below — a backdrop that makes the Spanish cuisine on the plate feel entirely at home.
