A cornerstone of Madrid’s fine dining scene since 2004, El Paraguas is where Asturian heritage meets urban elegance. Set on leafy Calle de Jorge Juan, it helped define the capital’s modern appetite for upscale regional cuisine—long before it became fashionable.
Inside, the mood is refined yet warmly familiar: crisp white tablecloths, polished wood, fresh flowers, and a rhythm of service that’s as professional as it is personal. The menu is rooted in Northern Spain—fabada, hake kokotxas, red scorpionfish, and Asturian rice pudding—executed with classic technique and seasonal care.
This is not a space for trends or spectacle. It’s for those who value consistency, quality ingredients, and a dining room where discretion is a virtue. Politicians, financiers, and the city’s old guard return week after week—for business lunches, anniversary dinners, or just the comfort of knowing everything will be done exactly right.
For traditionalists with taste, El Paraguas is Madrid’s gold standard.
