After seeing repeat recommendations across multiple travel guides, we decided to drop by here for lunch during our visit to Valencia. A great find, tucked away a short distance from Plaza de la Virgin, Delicat offers a gourmet dining experience without any unnecessary pretentiousness. The dining room is quite small with about 9 tables, but we had no problem getting seated immediately on that slow and rainy day.
Lunch service is a 12€, five course prix fixe menu. Each of the offerings are delightfully delicate in presentation, with a distinctly asian/indian flavor. For our lunch, we got:
Green pea soup - Savory and creamy, fresh pea flavor
Chicken skewer - Crispy indian curry chicken draws contrast with the side of tomato salsa and guacamole
Shrimp and dumpling - Cute dish finished with edible flowers, fresh and simple with a delicious hoisin type sauce
Pork ribs - Tender braised pork w/ a sort of chinese, five spice inspired flavor and a hint of wasabi in the side of mashed potatoes
Basil ice cream - Surprisingly forward basil flavor, over macerated strawberries and whipped cream
The small portions of each dish leave you craving for more, but our appetites were satiated by the end of the meal. Overall an excellent value for the exquisite experience.
