Restaurante Arrels

Fine dining in an old historical building in the city center of Sagunto. The restaurant has a Michelin star when we ate there so dress up and expect to spend the full evening there. They have a fixed menu with multiple courses. Each one more beautiful than the other.

You only can book a table over the Internet so the restaurant can have the data of your credit card as a deposit in case you don't appear. Which I personally find a fair regulation. You choose a menu without actually knowing what you will get. I post the menu SABA in the pictures so you can inform yourself without being surprised ;-) I will also upload the bill - in the evening the freshly baked bread and olive oil are included. All in all a wonderful experience getting better the further the dinner goes. The recommended Spanish wines were also great. The 3 deserts at the end were kind of umami nonetheless and are not "classic" desert in my view, but they met my taste. The service was professional and competent. The minimalistic decoration of the restaurant let probably your senses to concentrate on your meals. During the week we spontaneously found a table for a dinner which would be impossible in a bigger city.

We had the tasting menu of 135euro, with 95 euro wine pairing, for lunch. It was amazing. So experimental, unique, fun, for food and wine. I have never had white wines with tastings like so. It was fun and interesting, some being fortified wine tasting like brandy, some being sweet and sour, very different from fruity and citrusy wine I have had in spain. I am thankful for the sommelier who got all these different types of unique wine for me to try. We loved it. The place is cozy and nice, with a great ambiance. We recommend this place for anyone that wants unique dishes and have a life experience.

Beautiful authentic interior, thought out to the smallest detail. Here the contents of the dishes are not revealed in advance, leaving it a secret until the moment of serving, and this element of surprise gives the culinary journey a special appeal. Each dish was a pleasant surprise, making us enjoy not only the taste, but also the very process of discovering new gastronomic delights. The taste unfolded inside, like a palette of culinary shades, starting with delicate notes and ending with deep, rich chords, leaving an unforgettable aftertaste for a long time. Service at the highest level. The restaurant deserves the highest rating

What a delight! Utterly delicious and expertly crafted food, superb service and beautiful surroundings to enjoy it all in. The white asparagus ice cream was superb, the savoury flan with the meat sauce was inspired and the eel dish was so good, I find myself daydreaming about it! If you enjoy fine dining and want a meal that will leave you grinning from ear to ear, this is the place for you. Thank you for the amazing experience!

This was a highlight of my trip to Spain. The seasonal menu that changes with what’s in season for not only the month, but the day. We had the Arrels menu which came didn’t cease to amaze and surprise as each dish came out. The play on textures and the amplification of flavours kept your palate guessing with each new dish. An example of this was the Cesar salad - it had lettuce, but everything else was mind blowing: the anchovy sauce on the bottom was topped with chopped lettuce and then flanked by three pieces of shatter crispy chicken skin (to stand in for croutons); to finish off the salad table side, our waiter sprinkled on concentrated lettuce crystals and similarly a cheese based crystallized creation. The wait staff were precise in their service and explained every dish when they arrived. After each course they cleared the table promptly and setup for the next dish. Each dish came with its unique vessel to accentuate the dish as well as silverware that was matched to the food.

Spectacular food with local produce from this Michelin star restaurant. Loved the play with food where some of the savoury options looked like dessert. Every bite bursting with flavour and well trained, knowledgeable staff to round out one of the best meals we've had in Spain since we moved here. Can't wait to go back...

One of the best restaurant in this small city, enjoy the good atmosphere in the old town with very creative and amazing food.
