Take a journey through the different historical societies of Valencia using the flavors of the time in a unique type of gastronomy. Sucede Restaurante is different, as technique takes precedent through culinary artistry presented with the freshest ingredients and high-quality creations.
I dined at Sucede by myself, and thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. The restaurant is absolutely stunning, revolving around a modern black and white color scheme highlighted with rustic stone that makes the whole atmosphere feel transcendental. From the earliest accommodations to the more modern luxuries of dining, the adventure begins the moment you sit at Sucede.
I started with a light, cool creamy cherry salmorejo, which was refreshing and delicious. The true Spanish version of gazpacho. I followed the slamorejo with fresh salmon ceviche, a balance of beautiful fish and acidic citrus.
Next, I opted for Mackerel with onion, which was so fresh it tasted caught that day. This was some of the best mackerel I’ve ever eaten, as the flavor was strong and the oils helped keep the flesh tender. The onion added a sweet bitterness to the fish.
For a meat course, I chose Iberian pork rib with soy sauce, honey and mustard, which was a great balance of tart, tangy saltiness with the sugary sweetness of the honey and the tender ribs. Dessert consisted of strawberry tartare covered with mango mousse, which was fruity and fresh, but not overly sweet. It was exactly what I needed to cleanse my palate and end a delicious lunch on a high note.
The service was impeccable, as every dish was delivered with timeliness and accuracy, and the explanations and recommendations of the menu were spot on. I would suggest dining at Sucede for any event or meal, as the atmosphere, service and food are all incredible! Definitely a win!
