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.

Grupo Paraguas

Grupo Paraguas is a group of restaurants of renowned national and international success, with a presence in Madrid since 2004. Each one is different in concept, style and personality, yet they all share the same common goal: to create an unforgettable experience for their guests.

At the forefront are Sandro Silva and Marta Seco, the founders and visionaries behind a new way of creating and understanding gastronomy in Spain. Alongside them, nearly 1,000 employees work every day to power the six restaurants that make up this distinguished group.

In 2004, El Paraguas was born — the restaurant that gave its name to this family. Years later came Ten con Ten (2011), Ultramarinos Quintín (2015), Amazónico and The Jungle Jazz Club (2016), Numa Pompilio (2017), Aarde (2019) and Origen (2019). After a period of continuous growth, Grupo Paraguas is set to expand beyond Spain’s borders with two ambitious projects launching at the end of 2019 in London and Dubai.

All of its restaurants fall under the internationally recognised concept of fine dining, meaning cuisine of exceptional quality, high standards of service and unique environments located in truly exceptional settings.
