German-born chef Bernd Knöller, a Valencian by conviction, leads this dynamic and ever-evolving restaurant with a spirit of creativity and spontaneity. At the heart of the dining experience is an open kitchen, surrounded by a sleek counter where guests can watch the culinary action unfold in real time—an embodiment of the restaurant’s engaging and contemporary approach.

A globetrotting chef now deeply connected to his surroundings, Knöller has entered a mature and expressive phase of his career. His cooking reflects a free-spirited and occasionally rebellious interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine—always personal, often surprising, and firmly rooted in local tradition. His deep affection for the region is evident in dishes that highlight ingredients from the nearby fish market and the Valencian terroir, particularly through his imaginative takes on rice and seafood.

Guests can choose between a fixed-price à la carte offering and two menus: a more concise lunch menu and an ambitious tasting menu. Standout dishes include refined, regionally inspired compositions such as sweetbreads with roasted onion jus and pickled onion petal—a perfect illustration of Knöller’s light-handed technique and his talent for harmonizing bold ideas with delicacy.
