BACK · Restaurant · Marbella
Chef David Olivas's contemporary Andalusian cooking, with cheese and liqueur trolleys, in central Marbella.
BACK is chef David Olivas's restaurant on Calle Pablo Casals in Marbella, holding one MICHELIN star in the MICHELIN Guide Spain 2026. Olivas, born in Ubeda in Jaen province, built his career in Marbella kitchens and opened BACK in 2016. The house describes its cooking as a contemporary view of traditional Andalusian cuisine, based on local Andalusian produce with touches from other parts of the world.
The room is a modern, bistro-style space where the technique of fine dining is meant to come with fun and surprise on the plate. The dining room works with a cheese trolley and a liqueur trolley, and the wine cellar looks beyond the usual commercial labels, with Andalusian bottles given a prominent place.
The a la carte menu is split in two, Our Classics for the house signatures and What Is Changing for the dishes that rotate, and the Entorno tasting menu runs alongside it. The MICHELIN Guide's 2026 write-up singles out the roasted and rested duck breast, two escalopes smoked over apple wood and served with pickled beets, anchovies and pistachios.
BACK serves lunch and dinner Tuesday to Saturday. The tasting menu suits a long lunch or a full evening, and the kitchen asks for punctuality, since a late start can mean a shortened menu.
Address: Calle Pablo Casals 8, 29602 Marbella, Malaga, Marbella
