A modern expression of Spanish culinary heritage

El Bistró de Mario Sandoval was created as an approachable expression of the Sandoval family’s gastronomic history. Its cuisine returns to the roots of generous home cooking, traditional recipes and produce-led flavours, while presenting each dish with contemporary precision.

Set within a welcoming estate near Madrid, the restaurant brings together relaxed hospitality and refined technique. Every menu is designed to feel familiar yet distinctive, from slow-cooked meats and garden vegetables to signature dishes prepared over wood fire.

Our philosophy

Tradition, season and fire at the heart of every plate

01

Seasonal ingredients

Menus evolve with the market and the garden, allowing each ingredient to reach the table at its most expressive and natural.

02

Family recipes

Much of the inspiration comes from the Sandoval family table, where familiar Spanish dishes are preserved, refined and shared.

03

Wood-fired character

Fire gives depth, texture and aroma to signature preparations, including the restaurant’s celebrated roast suckling pig.
