"A restaurant with an industrial vibe in the heart of the city’s Chueca district, featuring an open-view kitchen impressively and enthusiastically run by Juan D'Onofrio, a young Argentinian-born chef who is very happy with his life in Madrid, especially as it is said that “this is the city where everyone, including chefs, find their rightful place”! The aim of the contemporary cuisine here is to showcase the full nuances of the Mediterranean, to which the chef adds interesting Argentinian influences, with a strong focus on fire and the grill, and the use of aged fish and meat in which every flavour is emphasised. Dishes that made a particularly strong impression included the highly original shrimp, banana and Palo Cortado sherry starter, and the pigeon served as three different dishes that make full use of every part of the bird. A small adjoining, and more intimate, annexe (La Trasera de Chispa Bistró) provides another dining option here." - Michelin Inspector

It was a fun experience and worth the money. The staffs were so nice and professional. We did wine pairing which would be perfect for white or sweet wine person. As a red wine person I was a bit disappointed. The 3 red we got was very much like white but in red color. The 3 desserts were 3 different kind of ice cream which made me wonder why.

The Chispa Bistro experience was delightful! The food was to die for and very interesting. The desserts with veg ice creams was a shocking positive experience, the flavours blend perfectly. The meat and fish were cooked perfectly and matched with opposite flavors that blend in your palate incredibly well. Katerin made sure everything was perfectly explained and we were happy with the food and the experience during the dinner. The set up was intimate, yet you could see the kitchen (since it's open) and how hard the chefs were working to make everything out on time and beautifully served. Overall, a great experience with a good price/quality ratio that we hope we can repeat soon when we visit Madrid again!

My family of four had an amazing tasting menu at Chrispa Bistro. It far exceeded my expectations! Every dish was both delicious and creatively presented. The service was also excellent—very friendly and made us feel comfortable throughout the meal. I would definitely come back here on my next trip. Highly recommended!

A five star review hardly does this place justice! The intimate setting and attentive staff could only be out done by the amazing food coming out of the kitchen. We had the tasting menu and loved everything. The wood fired cooking in an open kitchen only adds to the experience and each course delivered with flawless execution. Overall a wonderful dining experience!

Very nice and modern restaurant; great food, excellent ambiance, and great service. We really liked the aesthetic of the place, the open kitchen, and the wine selection. We tried the ribeye, mushroom with oyster sauce, and bonito, all were excellent. The chef came to visit our table, he was extremely charming and humble. Love love this place

We went for our anniversary. Food is really good, and for me the highlight was the wines, you can do tasting with the dishes. A lot of small production and different grapes.

Dining at Chispa was a delight!! The food is beautifully presented and also delicious. I particularly loved the chipirones cappelletti, the bonito with ponzu, the pork with polenta and for desert, the raspberries with mushroom and olives. Mindblowing! There is a wide variety of good wine and we had amazing sakê. The service was warm and friendly. Chefs Gabriel and Juan are very charming and came to the table to explain the dishes to us. The place is hip but not too formal so it is easy to feel comfortable and yet know that you are in for something special. Definitely a place to visit if you are around Chueca in Madrid.

The restaurant offers a limited seating arrangement, with a stylish décor predominantly in gray and black tones, complemented by stone and wood textures. A noteworthy feature is the semi-open kitchen, providing diners with a view of the chef's culinary skills. The waitstaff was exceptionally friendly and offered bilingual service in English and Spanish. During my visit, I enjoyed the Huevo, setas y vainas and Rack Ternera dishes, along with delightful appetizers of mussels with kimchi and steamed egg in chicken broth. The meal concluded with the refreshing fresas, té rojo e hibiscus dessert, all of which were delicious and original. This fusion restaurant combines Spanish, Latin American, and Asian influences, delivering top-notch quality in both cuisine and service. With most dishes priced between 20-25 EUR, it's definitely worth a visit. Be sure to book ahead due to limited seating.
