Y hoy cerramos la semana con un plato muy Bardero: nuestra vieira con tupinambo y wasabi fresco. Marcamos la vieira a la plancha para mantenerla jugosa y la acompañamos con una crema de tupinambo. El tupinambo es un tubérculo de sabor suave y ligeramente dulce, con notas que recuerdan a la alcachof
Para los amantes de los arroces, hoy venimos con nuestro arroz cremoso trufado. Lleva setas frescas, manitas de cerdo y trufa de temporada, con una textura untuosa que conseguimos cocinando el fondo lentamente. En Alto Bardero lo hacemos así. En Bardero, nuestra otra versión va con boletus y cococh
Cada tortilla empieza con unos 25 huevos (aproximadamente), cebolla confitada y patata monalisa, y de cada una salen 8 porciones. No hay mucho misterio detrás de nuestra tortilla de patatas, pero sí mucho cuidado con el punto: poco cuajada, jugosa y hecha cada día para nuestra barra. Es uno de los
Bienvenido septiembre. Madrid empieza poco a poco a recuperar su ritmo, aunque el verano todavía no parece tener muchas ganas de irse. Nosotros lo recibimos con nuestros dumplings de gambas y camarón de Huelva frito: crujientes por fuera, jugosos y melosos por dentro, con el puntito justo de picant
Nos metimos a la cocina de Alto Bardero con Pablo y hoy vamos a preparar nuestro steak tartar de lomo argentino con chimichurri, huevos de codorniz fritos y huevas de trucha. En Bardero (Arganzuela) tenemos nuestro tartar de atún rojo. #steaktartar #restaurantesmadrid #planesmadrid #guiarepsol
Agosto se acaba y Madrid empieza, poco a poco, a recuperar el ritmo. Vuelve la gente, vuelven los domingos de paseo por el rastro y La Latina empieza a llenarse otra vez. Nosotros venimos este domingo con dos pintxos que recomendamos probar en Alto Bardero: el pintxo de salmón tamagoyaki y el pintx
Background
About Bardero
The Story
Bardero takes its name from Argentine slang for someone who stirs things up, and the kitchen runs with that spirit: a cosmopolitan mix that nods to modern Madrid without losing traditional flavours. If you can't get a table in the dining room, the bar takes walk-ins.
The Cuisine
Fusion with a Mediterranean base: the restaurant describes its cooking as a mix of Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean flavours, 'sin etiquetas', across a carta built for sharing.
What's on the Carta
The carta mixes the three strands freely. There are Ossau-Iraty cheese and spinach buñuelos in tempura, burrata with salt-baked yellow beetroot and roast vegetables, a cured-trout ceviche with coconut milk, passion fruit and curry, red tuna tartare flambéed with ají amarillo over somen noodles, and a Japanese-style corvina tiradito with wasabi mayo and soy caviar. Bigger plates run from a tempura eel taco with quail egg and Ibérico bacon, Huelva prawns with broken eggs, kimchi and Joselito jowl, and curried mussels with fregola, to octopus with kimchi and roast-potato gnocchi, a boletus rice with salt-cod cocochas al pil-pil, botarga and prawn noodles, a duck foie brioche with kabayaki pig's trotters, an Ibérico katsu sando, grilled veal sweetbreads, a 350g Argentine Angus bife and Ibérico pluma with miso and lime.
Bar Without Bookings and Alto Bardero
The dining room takes reservations, and if you haven't managed to book, the bar is kept for walk-ins so you can still try the 'bardero' style. The team also runs Alto Bardero in central Madrid.
