Chispa Bistro

8th – 12th July  |  One sitting from 7:30pm  | £69.5 – £75

Michelin-starred Chispa Bistro lands on Charlotte Street with a smouldering fusion of fire, finesse and flavour. One of Madrid’s most exciting projects ties together global ingredients, razor-sharp technique and culinary theatre for a truly unique experience.

Helmed by the young Argentine-sensation, Juan D’Onofrio who at just 26 has carved out one of the city’s most compelling kitchens. Argentine-born, Barcelona-trained and sharpened by the likes of Mina* (Bilbao) and Santceloni** (Madrid). His cooking is technical, understated and fiercely instinctive.

Connecting the dots between Spanish, Latin American and Asian cuisine, Juan bridges the flavour divide with a dedication to the oft-overlooked art of the sauce, those seamless, vividly expressive reductions treated as the heartbeat of a dish – It’s intimate, unflashy, and quietly electric.

Super-charging impeccable, simple ingredients to new heights, think ‘Quisquilla prawn, clarified banana broth’ and ‘Burnt tomato water, confit tomato, chimichurri oil’ the result is a harmonious experience of flavour.
