In the heart of Barajas hides a gastronomic jewel that conquers with every bite. Egun-On, whose name in Basque means ‘good morning’, is much more than a restaurant. It is a culinary experience that celebrates authenticity and respect for raw materials.
Since its opening in 1999, this small establishment of just six tables has kept its essence intact. What began as a private txoko for friends and family ended up becoming a welcoming space where each dish tells a story of flavour and tradition. Today, under the management of Edu Collado, Egun-On continues to be a point of reference for lovers of good food, thanks to its honest, unpretentious cuisine.
Our evening at Egun-On began with some magnificent stew croquettes accompanied by a surprising piparras jam. A tasty and balanced combination, which gave way to an exquisite prawn carpaccio, whose intensity is enhanced with a dressing made from its own heads, providing marine and citrus nuances that enhance its flavour to the maximum.
The next dish forced us to dip into its irresistible sauce. Cockles accompanied by an original gazpacho de piparras, where the freshness of the seafood and the liveliness of the dressing create a perfect harmony. However, we must confess that the real spectacle came with the mushroom timbale, served with poached egg, truffle and crispy bacon. An exquisite combination of textures and aromas that made us fall in love with every bite.
For the main course, we opted for the Bilbao-style cod. A recipe with a traditional essence that, thanks to the quality of the fish and its impeccable execution, won us over completely. To round off the evening, the dessert left us speechless. First with a delicate white chocolate flan with pistachio and then with a formidable popcorn mousse that was absolutely irresistible.
What makes Egun-On special is not only its cuisine, but also its ability to transmit authenticity in every detail. In a world where trends change rapidly, this small restaurant keeps its essence intact, focusing on quality and friendly service. A wonderful corner with soul and a taste of tradition in Barajas that conquers the senses and enchants the palate.
