La Salita

Valencia, Spain

Sat within the city's Ruzafa district, the exterior of La Salita is a well-preserved time capsule of Valencia's picturesque past. What lies within this white-walled mansion is just as impressive. Inside, its dining room boasts high ceilings and pristine eggshell white walls, countered by colourful tiling and dried horticultural arrangements dangling from above. Its food echoes this sentiment too, as chef Begoña Rodrigo plays judiciously with presentation, often juxtaposing her technicoloured dishes against minimalistic white crockery. Courses across its multiple tasting menus pull influences from a global gastronomic palate, jumping from an 80s-style seafood cocktail with king crab and shrimp to vegetable nigiri. There's even a first-rate children's tasting menu offered at $65, featuring the likes of vegetable sobrasada, pastrami sandwich and Nutella fritters with coconut custard sauce.
