Sagardi Castellana

About

Sagardi Castellana is a vibrant Basque‑inspired restaurant located on Madrid’s iconic Paseo de la Castellana, right in the lively Salamanca district. It offers an authentic Basque culinary experience that marries tradition with modern flair: premium red‑meat cuts such as txuleton, fresh wild seafood, hand‑picked vegetables from local gardens, and an extensive range of artisanal drinks, including over 250 exquisite wines, the classic Guipúzcoa cider, and the refreshing Txakoli. The restaurant’s foundation rests on the passion of brothers Iñaki and Mikel López de Viñaspre, who began their culinary journey in their childhood kitchen in Vitoria. Their commitment to enduring Basque culinary values is reflected in every dish, from rustic pintxos to generous grill plates, with a special focus on the mastery of fire and seasoning. The menu is crafted from high‑quality, seasonal ingredients sourced from the Basque country and beyond, ensuring that every bite carries the authentic taste of the region. Beyond its cooking, Sagardi embraces the Basque tradition of the txokos—gatherings where community, conviviality, and gastronomy intersect. The restaurant’s ambience encourages guests to enjoy hearty meals in a relaxed, communal setting, punctuated by lively conversations and shared local spirits. Whether you’re dining for a family dinner, an intimate evening, or a special celebration, the staff’s dedication to hospitality and knowledge of Basque cuisine ensures a memorable dining journey. Guests are welcome to explore the laid‑back yet stylish interior, taking advantage of the private dining spaces available for events.
