Background
About El Senador
The Story
El Senador is a Madrid asador on Plaza de la Marina Española, in the Palacio quarter. It's built around the roast: cochinillo and cordero out of the oven, in the tradition of the Castilian roast houses. The kitchen takes bookings for celebrations, and also offers its cochinillo and lamb as packs to finish at home.
The Cuisine
The heart of the menu is the asador: cochinillo with Segovia's denominación de origen and cordero asado. Around that sit high-quality seasonal fish, seafood, salads and homemade desserts, with a careful wine selection.
The Tavern and Roasts to Go
Alongside the dining room, La Taberna de Cascajares works as the everyday bar: quality breakfasts with the regulars, a vermouth with its aperitivo, well-pulled cañas, tapas and raciones. The asador also packs its cochinillo and lamb in special packaging to finish at home, ordered by phone on 91 541 22 21 or through its CochinilloMadrid.com shop.

It's on Plaza de la Marina Española, in the Palacio neighbourhood of Madrid's Centro district, near Plaza de España.
Nearby
Palacio is the grand, historic western edge of the centre, wrapped around Palacio Real de Madrid and Plaza de Oriente. The eating runs from tavern cooking that has not changed in generations to small rooms doing something quieter and more modern. Teatro Real and Jardines de Sabatini set the pace, which is slower here.
