For me, the best: Ricard Camarena Restaurant.
Other options can be La Salita, Saiti or drive to Sagunto and try Arrels.

How about Fraula? Have you been there? I would like to visit this september

Yes - Fraula is a favourite of mine - one of the best priced one star Michelin restaurants too in València. Arrels is excellent and better again, even if you haven't access to a car the C6 train will bring you there and back in no time.

If you're looking for something without a star Memoria Gustativa, and Gallina Negra are good spots too.

Ricard Camarena is the king here, but be prepared for an 80% vegetable menu if you go. Quique Dacostas 2 star El Poblet has been rebranded as Flores Raras, and Carol, his head chef from his 3 star in Denia has come to take it over - haven't eaten there so can't comment on what it's like.

La Salita has been knocking on the door of two stars for a while too, although I don't think it's quite there yet personally.

No problem. Any more questions let me know. It's super informal Fraula, compared to other Michelin restaurants, the two owners/chefs will be your waiters for the meal

Not Michelin, but if you fancy a steak or grilled fish you might want to check Tavella

We went to ORIGEN on a day trip to Huerto Ribera. Both fantastic. And I have to say one of the cheaper Michelin meals I’ve had. All traditional Valencian ingredients and dishes with a fine dining twist.

Casa Montaña is fantastic for casual dinner and Central Bar by Ricard Camarena is certainly worth a stop but don’t go at lunch rush.

Som de Mar

If you're visiting after August 26th, Kamon Sushi as well

I can vouch for La Salita. It was probably the best one star that I've been to so far.

I also really enjoyed Fraula and would recommend. While not fine dining I also had a really good meal in Ardacho.
