Asador Gaztelu

A Basque cider-house table in Madrid

Asador Gaztelu brings the feel of a family sidrería to Madrid, with a rustic dining room and a covered terrace built for lingering over a full meal. The format is broader than a steakhouse: its menu moves from salads and Navarra vegetables to rice, fish, cod, bonito, stews, and grilled meat, with two cider-house menus for diners who want a more guided way through the kitchen.

The wine list gives the meal a second route through Spain, with bottles from Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rías Baixas, Rueda, Bierzo, and other regions, alongside cider and txakoli from Bizkaia. That range makes Gaztelu a good fit for groups with different appetites: one person can build a meal around fish or vegetables, another can lean into the grill, and the table can share the same Basque-inspired setting.
