Malabar Bistró Nómada

Occupying a townhouse in the mountains around Madrid, this restaurant features a patio-terrace at the entrance and a rustic and unpretentious bistro-style interior. Choose between a concise à la carte (including “raciones”, half-portions, and even quarter-portions for some dishes) with no little creativity and a strong focus on dishes designed sharing. These dishes change regularly (on this visit we thoroughly enjoyed the red tuna with a pepper-flavoured butter, and the succulent meatballs made from 7-year -old ox from Buitrago de Lozoya) and are usually based around ingredients sourced locally or from the nearby region, and enhanced by an exotic touch. Excellent technique and meticulous presentation add to its appeal.
