Mood Food

Valencia


The harmonious interior of this feel-good place is the scene for an exquisite line in tapas and small plates, blending Spanish and Japanese influences to fine effect, with some touches from elsewhere around the world. The surprise eight-course degustation menu (€28) is great, as are the weekday (€15) and weekend (€25) set menus. Service is amiable. Best to book.
