Trends in Gastropub in 2026

El gastrobar es un bar-restaurante que acerca la alta cocina al público general, sirviendo tapas de autor y medias raciones a precios accesibles. Nacido como adaptación del gastropub inglés, en España se ha convertido en el formato de restauración que más crece. Combina barra protagonista, cocina creativa, carta de vinos cuidada y un ambiente informal que invita a compartir.

Madrid

Formato nº1 en aperturas

Madrid es la capital del gastrobar en España. El número de establecimientos con formato gastrobar crece año tras año, con zonas como Ponzano, Chamberí, Malasaña y La Latina como epicentros. El formato domina las nuevas aperturas y las guías gastronómicas incluyen cada vez más gastrobares entre sus recomendaciones.

Challenges

The specific challenges of a gastropub

Challenges of a gastropub in Madrid

The gastrobar is the format that has grown the most in Madrid in the last decade: it fuses the classic bar with author cuisine at accessible prices. But its success depends on a difficult balance between gastronomic quality, contained average ticket and efficient operation.

  • Balancing quality signature cuisine with accessible average check (18-30 €)
  • High competition: increasingly more establishments are adopting the gastrobar format
  • Bar + kitchen + dining room management with reduced teams
  • Standing out in a city saturated with similar offerings

FAQ

FAQ: consulting for gastropub

What differentiates a gastrobar from a restaurant?
The gastrobar combines the informality of a bar with the quality of fine dining. Signature tapas and half-portions, a prominent bar, a carefully curated wine list, and a more relaxed atmosphere than the classic restaurant.
Is it profitable to open a gastrobar in Madrid?
Yes, but it requires professional management. This format allows average tickets of 25-35 € with attractive margins if food cost is controlled and the menu is optimized. The key lies in turnover and the ticket per diner.
How much does consulting cost for a gastrobar?
It all starts with the Gastronomic Diagnosis (from 1.250€). Full consultancy starts from 2.500 €/month, tailored to the size and needs of your gastrobar.
Do you help create the concept from scratch?
Yes. Our Opening service covers everything from concept development and feasibility to the menu, interior design and launch. We guide you through the entire process.
