Flores Raras Restaurante (anterior El Poblet)

El Poblet - Review - Ciutat Vella - Valencia - The Infatuation

"El Poblet is one of Valencia’s big-deal tasting menu restaurants, but what sets it apart is how it transforms local dishes into something surprising without losing soul. You might start with a spoonful of lacto-fermented white asparagus in a broth made from its own juices, then crack into a meringue stuffed with asparagus ice cream that somehow makes perfect sense while an indie rock playlist rolls softly in the background. A server might drop off a plate of cured horse loin and duck sausage on the white linen tables while explaining how the next dish riffs on all i pebre, a traditional eel and potato stew, here reimagined with blue crab and layers of crunch. Every course is a bit of theater, but it’s never just a show—the food stays rooted in unmistakably Valencian flavors. RESERVE A TABLE" - David Neimanis
