El chef

Pablo Rebollo is the mastermind behind Candeal.

He began his culinary journey at the relatively late age of 26, and by chance rather than by vocation; but since then, his drive to create, grow, and keep learning has known no bounds.

Originally from Valladolid, he trained in the Basque Country and both Castiles, working in renowned restaurants such as Mugaritz ** (Errenteria), Kokotxa* (San Sebastián), and Valdepalacios/Tierra* (Toledo). He arrived in Marbella in 2020 and felt so welcomed that in 2023 he decided to launch his own project in Marbella’s old town. Just seven months after opening, it was already recommended by the acclaimed Michelin Guide—yet even with that recognition, he has always maintained a clear vision when it comes to product, offering, and concept.

Candeal is a young, fresh project full of life ahead; always guided by the motto: “No one can be wise on an empty stomach.”
