QUIMBAYA by Edwin Rodríguez

What QUIMBAYA by Edwin Rodríguez does

Quimbaya by Edwin Rodríguez is a single-location fine dining restaurant located at Calle Zurbano 63, Madrid, Spain, operating under the chef-owned private company of the same name. The restaurant specializes in Colombian author cuisine — a contemporary, creative reinterpretation of traditional Colombian gastronomy drawing on the country's Caribbean, Pacific, Andes, Orinoquía, and Amazonas regions — and is the first restaurant of Colombian author cuisine in Spain, as well as the only Latin American restaurant in Spain to hold both a Michelin Star and a Sol Repsol (continuously revalidated 2022–2026).

The core offering is a three-tier tasting menu structure: Menú Clásicos Q at €85 per person, Menú Experiencia Quimbaya at €140 per person, and Gran Menú Quimbaya at €170 per person, with optional Colombian wine and fermented beverage pairings ranging from €35 to €95 per person. The dining room is intentionally constrained to 8 tables with views of an open kitchen, plus a private room for 6 guests and full event capacity of 55 guests. Ancillary revenue streams include gift vouchers (bonos regalo) sold online, a curated bar featuring Colombian spirits, a limited-edition coffee experience, and an events and catering line — including a 'Chef en Casa' off-site catering service — that leverages 11+ years of catering experience.

The business model is direct-to-consumer fine dining with reservation-led cover sales, supplemented by event/catering custom-quoted projects. Reservations are managed through the website and phone, with bank-imprint holds required on the two higher-tier menus to mitigate no-show risk. The restaurant is owned and operated by Chef Edwin Rodríguez, a Bogota native with 25+ years of culinary experience who also serves as Embajador Marca País Colombia and is the central creative and reputational asset of the brand. The company employs approximately 8 people, has no disclosed external funding, and operates only within Spain.

Each menu is a full-table experience priced at €85 (Menú Clásicos Q), €140 (Menú Experiencia Quimbaya), and €170 (Gran Menú Quimbaya), with beverages not included. Add-on wine pairings (Armonías) range from €35 to €95 per person. Payment is collected at the restaurant on the day of visit. Cancellation policies enforce a bank imprint hold for higher-tier menus to protect against no-shows.
2. Events and Catering Services: The restaurant generates additional revenue through private event bookings (anniversaries, birthdays, corporate dinners, weddings) and off-site catering/chef services. With a stated track record of more than 11 years in events and catering, the restaurant can accommodate up to 55 guests on-site and offers a private room for 6 persons. Catering includes on-site cooking with the chef's team and a 'todo listo' (fully prepared) at-home option. Budgets are custom-quoted via email.
3. Gift Vouchers (Bonos Regalo): The restaurant sells gift vouchers (bonos regalo) for its gastronomic experiences, available for purchase on the restaurant's website. These serve as both a revenue stream and a customer acquisition mechanism.
