savor: Spain/ Valencia
CA’ SENTO
Méndez Núñez, 17
Valencia
34/963.30.17.75
Undisputedly the city’s premier restaurant, Ca’ Sento offers the best of Valencia’s creative, contemporary cuisine. Working with simply the finest (often local) ingredients available, Raúl Aleixandre is inventive while remaining true to his Valencian roots. (The restaurant belonged to his mother; she is sometimes still in the kitchen.) He offers splendid rices – carried out in traditional cast-iron pots – among such breathtaking dishes as oyster with apple-flavored ice shavings and grilled turbot with tapioca.
Number of tables: less than ten. Call early for a reservation.
Worth the splurge: yes.
