Candeal
We are located in Marbella, one of the most cosmopolitan and vibrant cities on the Costa del Sol, nestled at the foot of the imposing Sierra Blanca. A destination that combines history, culture, and sophistication.
Candeal is the personal project of chef Pablo Rebollo, brought to life in June 2023 with a clear vision: to rescue and reinvent gastronomic tradition.
Located in the heart of the old town, in a privileged spot, Candeal blends seamlessly with the charm of its streets to offer a cuisine that reinterprets traditional recipes with respect and creativity, always preserving the roots and essence. These are complementary concepts, reinforcing the idea of respecting tradition while bringing a renewed vision.
Donde la cocina tradicional se encuentra con las técnicas actuales.
Pablo Rebollo toma como base la rica tradición culinaria de su tierra, combinando fondos que requieren tiempo y dedicación, con un profundo respeto por los sabores auténticos. Su propuesta rinde homenaje a los guisos de toda la vida, a los escabeches, con guiños a los productos de caza y otros pilares de la cocina tradicional, mientras da protagonismo absoluto a la materia prima.
Las nuevas tecnicas se aplican con sutileza, respetando los tiempos y los sabores que definen cada plato.
Bread: Tradition and Craftsmanship
In our kitchen, bread is more than just food—it is a tribute to traditional baking and the artisans who have passed down their craft for generations.
Previously, our bread traveled nearly 800 kilometers from Peñafiel (Valladolid) to our table. But now, we have taken a step further in our commitment to quality. We learned firsthand from the master baker who supplied us, and today, we bake our own bread with the same dedication and respect for tradition.
We offer two special varieties:
Candeal de cuadros, with its dense crumb and unmistakable flavor.
Peñafiel oil torta, also known as coscoja seed torta, crispy and full of nuances.
Each loaf that comes out of our oven is a tribute to artisanal baking and the value of true craftsmanship.
Pickles, marinades, ferments..
At Candeal, we focus on a zero-waste approach, adding value to dishes with ingredients that would normally be discarded because they are believed to lack enough gastronomic value. We create various preparations with these lesser-known parts, striving to be as sustainable as possible, since with water, salt, and sugar, we can make preserves, transform the product, and create dishes with incredible flavors and textures.
