Padron Throws a Culinary Celebration for Its Anniversary.

From April 11 to 13, restaurant Padron marks one year since opening. Guests can look forward to aged-beef steaks, festive cocktails, live music, and a celebratory dinner from three chefs, including Spanish maestro Adrián Quetglas.

Restaurant Padron decided to mark its first birthday with a three-day marathon. The celebration runs April 11 to 13, bringing together culinary dinners, musical performances, and a special cocktail list. At the center of it all: aged vaca vieja beef, festive dishes created by three chefs at once, and Spanish flair in the details.

The celebration kicks off Friday evening with a pre-party. By 22:00, a DJ takes the decks at the bar, while the bar team starts mixing cocktails from a new lineup of Spanish and Portuguese drinks. Live music and the bar's signature style, finished in azulejo tile, keep the atmosphere going.

On Saturday at 14:00, the celebratory brunch begins, with 60-day-aged vaca vieja beef as its centerpiece. On the menu: steaks, picanha tartare, the season's first grilled asparagus with garlic sauce, and oven-cooked sole with a cream-and-mushroom velouté. The culinary program flows smoothly into an evening dinner.

Actress and singer Anastasia Tsvetaeva performs at the dinner, with a program of Spanish songs. Pastry chef Albina Rodygina creates a cake decorated with sweet Padrón peppers and azulejo-style tile. The evening closes with a ritual done together with the Simple brand: a cocktail of sherry brandy, sherry, and port is poured into a barrel, where it'll stay aging at the bar until the next birthday.

Saturday night continues with DJ sets, signature cocktails, and rare wines from Galicia, selected by Folk Team's head sommelier Artem Samoylov. These wines are known for their floral-fruity aromas and pair perfectly with meat and fish.

On Sunday, the celebration winds down unhurriedly. The wine list stays in place, and Adrián Quetglas returns to the grill to personally cook the famous vaca vieja ribeye. That way, the final day keeps the pace and flavor of the celebration going, giving everyone one more chance to enjoy Padron's signature dishes and atmosphere.
