"El Taller del Xiquet, the latest project from chef Danny Lledó, will welcome its first guests later this month with a bustling cheese cart, inventive paellas, and unctuous desserts — all served in an a la carte format. It will serve almost as the research and development arm of its more formal sibling restaurant located right upstairs, Xiquet. El Taller takes over the ground-floor space formerly occupied by Slate Wine Bar. It offers guests freedom of choice in their dining experience and features dishes like sea bass gravlax and Fideuà de Gandia. The venue, intimate with just 14 seats, allows Lledó to highlight Spanish and Valencian culinary traditions while evolving the menu based on guest preferences." - Lulu Chang
