🍮 2025’s First Michelin Star: A Valencian Dream in an 18th-Century Gem Hidden in a centuries-old building in Valencia, this spot feels like stepping into a sunlit Spanish countryside cottage—soft pastels, bundles of dried flowers dangling from the ceiling 🌾, and a warm vibe that makes you want to stay forever. Helmed by chef Begoña Rodrigo, it’s where a 3.5-hour meal (8 PM to 11:45 PM!) feels like a joy, not a chore. We went for the €150 tasting menu, and wow—every bite justified the price. đŸŒ± Dishes That Celebrate Valencia (With a Global Twist) The magic? Local ingredients get star treatment, with subtle Asian or international touches that elevate, never overpower. Asparagus dish: Green and white spears, but so much more. A creamy mushroom sauce, crunchy pumpkin seeds, and textures that play (soft, crisp, tender)—simple, but we’re still thinking about it. Bread + leek butter: The bread’s great, but the butter? Chef’s kiss. Rich, velvety, and cut with a citrus zing that stops it from being heavy. We mopped every last bit. Red mullet : A new favorite. Its flesh is firm, buttery, and shockingly similar to lobster 🩞—fresh from Valencia’s coast, cooked to flaky perfection. 🍊 Desserts: Pure Valencian Charm Dessert leans into local flavors, and it’s genius. Valencia oranges + pumpkin: Sweet, earthy, and perfectly balanced. White chocolate-wrapped rice: Local rice (hello, paella roots!) gets a sweet upgrade, served in a dried flower bundle đŸŒŒâ€”cute, creative, and so on-brand. đŸč Drinks That Impress Cocktails: The mixologist here is a pro—creative, not fussy, and delicious enough to sip slowly. Wine list: A nice surprise! Great options without the sky-high prices you’d expect at a Michelin spot đŸ·. By 11:45 PM, we were full, happy, and not ready to leave 😊. This isn’t just “fancy food”—it’s a love letter to Valencia, with heart and creativity in every bite. If you’re in Valencia and want a Michelin experience that’s elegant but not stuffy, this is it. #ValenciaMichelin #TastingMenuBliss #LocalFlavorsShine
