Grupo Paraguas

Grupo Paraguas is a group of restaurants of established standing on a national level, with a presence in Madrid since 2004 and that will be crossing borders with two ambitious projects at the end of 2019 in London and Dubai. At the helm are Sandro Silva and Marta Seco, the creators and opinion leaders of a new way of doing – and understanding – the restaurant business in the country.

Nearly 600 employees are behind the engine of the six restaurants that make up the group, all of which have a different concept, style and personality, but with the same common denominator: creating an unforgettable experience for the customer.

“El Paraguas” (2004), “Ten con Ten” (2011), “Ultramarinos Quintín” (2015), “Amazónico” (2016), “Numa Pompilio” (2017), “Aarde” (2019) and “Origen” (2019) are to be found within the international concept of fine dining, which can be defined as: excellent quality cuisine, high standards of service and unique environments in exceptional locations.

Aarde

Earth, music, spices, exoticism …

A journey to the roots of the African continent. A tribute to the earth and all the riches it offers us.

The land whispers stories with an intense voice but not everyone dares to hear or inquire into its secret language. In Aarde they talk to her and they invite us to do so by entering the landscapes of the African continent, its fauna, flora and endless cultures. Its infinite aromas and colors that they coexist in harmony in spaces full of music where they can play with the most primal instincts.

From its open kitchen come tribal ceramic plates and platters full of cheerful flavors and textures. Chingulugulu lasagna, bock tartare with wild blueberry or aloe vera ceviche are just some of the most innovative and unknown examples that you can find in Aarde. A journey through each dish in search of the authentic.

In Aarde you will feel that you are entering an unknown, risky world, but you will quickly appreciate that it is the return to the roots, the exaltation of purity and the maximum respect for our land.

It all started on a journey. The destination: Africa. The path: the roots.
