Set in the Puente Romano Hotel and Resort, the restaurant escapes from the traditional and gives all a gastronomical experience to remember. The product's impeccable effort is put into cooking on the grill skillfully but with a sophisticated touch that the chef Dani García himself has incorporated into the kitchen.

They say you do not know what indecision is until you read Leña's menu, as they present their customers with the perfect balance between the product and the technique. There are various options to choose from that suit many dietary requirements, from Vegan starters to everything you can cook on a wooden grill. In 2021, the Leña restaurant was awarded the title of the most beautiful restaurant in the world at the Restaurant and Bar Design Awards.

All drinks and dishes served at Leña come with impeccable attention to detail, fantastic presentation, and exquisite taste. All meat served at Leña is left to mature for maximum taste effect: young veal is left to mature for 15 days, and older meat is left to mature for 45 days.
