Coquetto Bar
Coquetto Bar is a contemporary Spanish gastrobar in Madrid's Almagro neighbourhood, co-directed by chef Mario Sandoval and his brothers Rafael and Diego, who also run the family's flagship restaurant Coque. Opening was announced in 2019 but delayed by COVID-19; it finally opened in June 2020. The kitchen rescues classic recipes like escabeches and daily-rotating stews.

Creo que va siendo hora de poner fecha, @saboryganar93 y @el_sibarita_del_sur. 😏 🍁Este otoño tenemos una cuenta pendiente: ir a @coquettobar para probar la paella de cocido que lleva meses en boca de todos, de nuestro amigo @jdsandovalcoque. Y esta vez me gustaría que se unieran a la mesa dos futu

El broche de oro para arrancar el fin de semana

El buen vino nace de la vid, y de las ramas

Cuando aprieta el calor, hay clásicos que nunca fallan

Donde el tiempo se detiene y el sabor toma protagonismo

Que empiece oficialmente el fin de semana
Background
About Coquetto Bar
The Story
Coquetto is pitched as the Sandoval family's take on the luxury of sustainability, product first, simple and honest, without pretension. It opened in Almagro in June 2020, after a 2019 announcement delayed by COVID-19.
The Cuisine
The rotating stews change daily; guisos like pepitoria, cocido, fabada and carrillera cycle through alongside fixed dishes such as glazed suckling pig, roasted veal shank and red prawns. On Sundays, the regular menu gives way entirely to 'The Table Brunch,' with dishes like grilled tuna belly and eggs Benedict across two seatings.
Coque's Younger Sibling
Coquetto opened in June 2020 at Calle Fortuny 2, after the pandemic had delayed a 2019 launch, as an independent bar-restaurant rather than a copy of Coque. The brothers describe their cooking as 'cocina de la memoria', the food they grew up with at home, built on three pillars, the cellar, the kitchen and the dining room, and Coquetto takes its cue from the traditional flavours their mother, Teresa Huertas, cooked at the family's restaurant in Humanes. It launched with its own delivery service, CoquettoGo.
The room is designed around nature and sustainability: rope and esparto details, bare wooden tables without cloths, and an open kitchen with the wood-fired oven on view, spread over two levels that create different moods. The kitchen runs non-stop, from breakfast through lunch and a bite at the bar.
Escabeches, Stews and the Wood Oven
The carta is short and split into sections such as the day's fish market, the dehesa, the garden, salads, creams and soups, roasts, grill and desserts. Escabeches are a speciality: the salads have included a partridge escabeche with Amontillado, pomegranate and endive, and escabeche sardines. From the oven comes the lacquered suckling pig with crackling skin, served without sauce and with a salad of living lettuces; from the dehesa, Ibérico suckling-pig torreznos and a glazed Rubia Gallega short rib tender enough to carve with a spoon.
Other dishes have included a lobster cream, cod fritters with ají amarillo mayonnaise, wild mushrooms with borage, and grilled artichokes with diced Ibérico ham. Among the six or so desserts, the coffee flan, served with toffee and salt ice cream on the side, and a fine chocolate tart are house favourites, alongside a cheesecake with dulce de leche.
Wine, Sherry and Sunday Brunch
The wine list is short but broad, with references for every budget and some international bottles, and everything can be ordered by the glass, with a Coravin for the special bottles. Sherry has a strong showing, with Lustau's palo cortado and amontillado among the pours. On Sundays the regular carta gives way to The Table Brunch, which in early 2025 opened with fresh orange juice, a mimosa and an artisan croissant filled with Ibérico ham.
The Chef
The Team
Chef Mario Sandoval, who trained in classical haute cuisine under Salvador Gallego, co-directs Coquetto Bar with his brothers Rafael and Diego, the same family behind their flagship restaurant Coque. Rafael Sandoval, the family's sommelier, chose the wine list, and in early 2025 Elsa Gutiérrez Fernández was running the dining room.

Coquetto Bar Dining Experience
Green tones, ropes and esparto fill a 120-square-metre dining area with rustic accents. It's intimate and rustic, with live music, an open kitchen and a terrace, the kind of neighbourhood room people come back to.

Coquetto Bar opened in June 2020 on Calle de Fortuny in Almagro, the hushed embassy quarter of Chamberí. The 120-square-metre room leans rustic, with green tones, esparto and rope detailing.
Nearby
Almagro is embassy Madrid: broad streets, old money, and a hush the rest of the centre does not have. The restaurants match, with polished rooms, careful service and kitchens that do not need to shout. It sits between Chueca and Salamanca without quite belonging to either.
