Background
About Ekö Bistro
The Story
Ekö Bistro began in Madrid, the house says, when Eden, a sommelier, and Iñigo, a chef, met to make a young, free bistro that changes with every service. Its carta is called 'L'Instant Retenu', a moment held between seasons, and it crosses France and Spain from the market. Chef Iñigo Uribe Paredes signs it with a line of thanks to the people who trusted him. Every four months the space is hung with a new artist's work.
The Cuisine
French cooking with Spanish touches: Petrossian taramas to start, then an entrée, plat and dessert carta, a separate bar carta, a tasting menu and a wine list.
The Carte and Taramas
The carta opens with Petrossian taramas by the 16 g spoon or 100 g pot, from natural (€3/€18) to sea-urchin coral, king crab, lobster, black truffle and caviar (€7/€45), with suggested pours such as a mezcal or a volcanic Malvasía from Gran Canaria. Entrées include a French onion tartlet with escalivada peppers (€12), a duck salad with red-berry vinaigrette and a prawn tartare with tapioca crisp, each paired with a suggested glass, from the Loire to Vinos de Madrid. Bread and aperitivo are €2.50.
Tasting Menu and Set Menu
The tasting menu is €65: French onion tartlet, frogs' legs with green curry, octopus with Du Barry purée and white chocolate, red mullet with mushroom duxelles, Iberian presa with Jerusalem artichoke and a port-and-honey demi-glace, then citrus and corn-and-vanilla desserts. Pairings are €50 for sake and beer, €55 for wine, or €45 for The Macallan whisky. A shorter set menu offers a choice of foie boudin blanc or the onion tartlet, then lemon fish with sauerkraut velouté or magret with cherry demi-glace, and a café gourmand.

Elegant and cosy with an industrial edge, and the walls become a new exhibition every four months, with the work of a different artist each season. There's a bar with its own carta as well as the dining room.

Calle de Sagasta 23, 28004, in the Trafalgar barrio of Chamberí, close to Alonso Martínez and Bilbao.
Nearby
Trafalgar is the calm shoulder between Malasaña and the wider avenues, residential enough to feel lived-in and central enough to walk out of. The eating skews to neighbourhood favourites and small confident kitchens rather than destinations. It gets quieter, and better value, the further you go from Gran Vía.
