Brasserie Astoria Marbella: Discover Marbella’s New Brasserie Destination

Marbella’s dining scene is entering a bold and elegant new chapter with the arrival of Brasserie Astoria, now opening in Nueva Andalucía — one of the Costa del Sol’s most vibrant and prestigious neighborhoods.

Backed by the internationally renowned Frantzén Group, Astoria Marbella brings the soul of Stockholm’s celebrated culinary scene to Southern Spain. The concept was born from a shared vision between Michelin-starred chef Björn Frantzén and our founder Eric Ebbing, combining a love for hospitality, design, and world-class food.

The menu stays true to its roots with many dishes from the original Astoria in Stockholm, but with a twist – local, seasonal ingredients and Andalusian influences that give it a unique Costa del Sol identity.

Astoria Marbella isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a destination, where design, service, and storytelling come together to create something special. From interactive tableside elements to a space that balances elegance and warmth, everything is designed to make people feel something.

Proud to see this vision come to life in Marbella – a place where Nordic precision meets Mediterranean soul.

I see Astoria Marbella as a new kind of destination for the city — a place where people can enjoy exceptional food, well-made cocktails, and a great atmosphere where you can actually have a conversation, enjoy a proper dinner, and stay for drinks. It’s a complete night out, all in one unique location. With its prime setting and a concept that doesn’t currently exist in Marbella, I’m confident it will quickly become a popular and fully booked spot.

Björn Frantzén is the only chef in the world with three Michelin three-star restaurants

Björn Frantzén has reached an unprecedented milestone in the culinary world by becoming the only chef currently running three Michelin three-star restaurants simultaneously.

This achievement was officially announced at the Michelin Guide ceremony in Dubai, where Frantzén Group’s newest restaurant, FZN, received the coveted three Michelin stars. Opening just a few months ago in October 2024, FZN is now the first restaurant in the UAE to earn this top honor, quickly establishing itself among the world’s elite dining venues.

With this latest success, Björn Frantzén joins an exclusive club. His restaurants Frantzén in Stockholm (awarded three stars since 2018), Zén in Singapore (three stars since 2021), and now FZN in Dubai, make him the only chef to hold three separate Michelin three-star restaurants across three continents.

Only 152 restaurants worldwide currently hold three Michelin stars, highlighting the rarity of this accomplishment. The Frantzén Group’s global presence spans Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, setting new standards in fine dining.

The three Michelin three-star restaurants under Björn Frantzén’s leadership are:

  • Frantzén, Stockholm — Sweden’s first restaurant to earn three Michelin stars, awarded in 2018.
  • Zén, Singapore — Opened in 2018 and reached three-star status in 2021.
  • FZN, Dubai — Opened in October 2024 and awarded three stars in the 2025 Michelin Guide.

Bringing the Frantzén concept to Marbella means delivering a level of quality that is truly exceptional. The Frantzén Group currently operates three restaurants with three Michelin stars each — a historic achievement that makes them unique in the culinary world. This level of excellence is what the brand represents. Personally, I have never considered starting another restaurant since my focus has always been on real estate. However, this was a unique exception because it involved Björn Frantzén and the Frantzén Group. Collaborating with them meant committing to uphold their extraordinary standards and create an experience in Marbella that matches the quality and atmosphere of the original Stockholm Astoria. This represents a new level of fine dining in Marbella.

Discover Astoria Marbella’s Exquisite Menu and Wine Selection

Astoria Marbella isn’t just about great food — it’s an experience. The menu mixes Scandinavian cooking techniques with Mediterranean flavors, and they’ve created some dishes just for this spot.

You’ll find bold starters like Toast Astoria with king crab and trout roe, or a light sea bass crudo with yuzu kosho and cucumber. Local flavors come through in dishes like Gambas Pil-Pil with red pepper and preserved lemon. The beef tenderloin, flambéed right at your table with cognac, is a real showstopper. Seafood fans will love the grilled sea bass with Champagne beurre blanc and Oscietra caviar.

Their wine list is impressive too, with rare finds, Spanish favorites, and international picks. Cocktails bring something different, blending Nordic and Asian influences for drinks you won’t forget. You can dine inside in a cozy, elegant setting or outside on the terrace. The bar connects both spaces and is great for sunset drinks, late nights, or just a quiet glass under the stars. What makes Astoria special is their focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients from local producers. The menu changes with the seasons, so there’s always something new to try. They also host events like wine tastings, chef’s tables, and seasonal specials, giving guests a chance to enjoy something a bit different and meet the team behind the food. Whether you’re a foodie or just want a nice spot to relax, Astoria Marbella offers great food and a cool, laid-back atmosphere — definitely worth a visit on the Costa del Sol.

My personal favorite is the steak frites — especially with the incredible quality of local meat we get here in Spain. But the dish I’m most proud of is the Toast Astoria. It really captures what we want to do with the menu.
