Riff
Eixample, Valencia, Spain
At Riff, Bernd Knöller's adopted Valencian identity is expressed through seafood, vegetables, rice and the grill. The kitchen's visibility helps make the experience engaging, while the cooking has enough individuality to reward an adventurous diner. Choose it for a serious meal that remains connected to recognisable Mediterranean ingredients. The appeal is not elaborate décor or a grand ceremony, but a chef's long-running conversation with the food available around his adopted city.
