The restaurant
A tribute to four generations of fishmongers and arrieros maragatos — the muleteer traders of old — and to the dream of Evaristo García.
Four generations of craft
DESDE 1911 cannot be understood without María Juliana Azpíroz and Evaristo García — both born to families with a long tradition in the most artisanal fishing trades — and their children, the proud fourth generation of fishmongers and arrieros maragatos. After more than a decade at the helm of the family business, the García Azpíroz family fulfilled the dream of opening DESDE 1911, honouring the passion their father, Evaristo García, always felt for restaurants.
Thanks to the immense work and evolution of these trades, Madrid has become the place where the finest produce from every port along the coast converges.
With the birth of DESDE 1911, a dream comes true: a fish and shellfish restaurant in Madrid whose menu is composed anew each day around the best produce available, defying every limit of space and time — proof that Madrid remains the finest seaport of the Iberian Peninsula.
Three settings, one light
Nordic in its layout and decoration, the restaurant offers three clearly distinct spaces: the dining room, with views into the kitchen through a wide picture window; the central courtyard, open and planted with leafy deciduous trees, a source of light and the setting for aperitifs and lingering after-meals; and the private room.
Craft and hospitality
Behind every service lies a way of understanding the dining room, the kitchen and the produce. A coordinated team working with precision, discretion and warmth so the experience flows from beginning to end.
