- In Residence, the annual event launched by the consultancy firm Mateo&co, through which renowned international chefs move their experience to Madrid for a few weeks, returns.
- This year, as a novelty, we are starting the In Residence Sessions: a version in which the editions will be shorter and will bring more chefs throughout the year.

- For the first time, the pop-up will be located at Semilla Food Studio, at 67 José Ortega y Gasset Street, in Madrid.

Madrid, September 13th 2023. After six editions, the annual In Residence event returns this year with a novelty: In Residence Sessions, a version in which the editions will be shorter and will bring more chefs throughout the year. In addition, for the first time, all pop-up sessions will take place in the Semilla Food Studio space in Madrid.
The In Residence Sessions will start in November with chefs Jakob Zeller and Ethel Hoon, chefs at Swedish restaurant Faviken until its closure in 2019. From 15 to 19 November, they will move their experience to Madrid, serving dinner on Wednesday November 15th, lunch and dinner from 16th to 18th of November, and ending with a single lunch service on Sunday November 19th. A single-set menu will be served on a shared table for 14 guests.
Both chefs started their careers at different ends of the world but eventually met in Sweden while working in restaurant Faviken. Jakob, who hails from the Alpine region of South Tyrol, has worked in kitchens in Barcelona, southern France and Italy. Ethel, a native of tropical island-nation Singapore, has spent time in kitchens in her home country, Paris and Tokyo.
In December 2019, the couple of chefs landed in Austria, at Klösterle. With the backdrop of the dramatic mountain faces of the narrow Zug valley, Klösterle stands as one of the only remaining Walserhaus from the 1500’s in the Vorarlberg area. This wooden house provides the perfect setting for Jakob and Ethel to offer an intimate and cozy experience that depicts the landscape that surrounds it.
Today, they offer a proposal based on regional ingredients from producers who share their philosophy of quality with sustainability and respect for nature, a well-stocked larder of preserves from the year, and their collective creative experiences.
Reservations are now open through the website http://www.inresidence.es with the pre-sale of the menu. The cost is 140€ including wine pairing.
