Three new Michelin stars for Valencia's gastronomic scene

At the gala held last night at the Palau de les Arts Opera House in the City of Arts and Sciences

Three restaurants in the city of Valencia have been distinguished with a Michelin star in the 2022 guide and join four other establishments that already had six distinctions. The Valencian capital now has nine stars spread out over seven establishments.

The new stars

Lienzo - Plaza de Tetuán, 18. Chef María José Martínez gives personality to her offer of Mediterranean cuisine from the market garden and the sea, giving it subtle nuances and delicate touches.

Fierro - Dr. Serrano, 4. In their small establishment in the Ruzafa neighbourhood, Germán Carrizo and Carito Lou present a very personal and modern culinary proposal that fuses Mediterranean and Argentinian cuisine.

Kaido Sushi Bar – Chile, 3. At its sushi bar, only 10 diners at any one time enjoy Yoshikazu Yanome's omakase cuisine. Japanese mastery and delicacy at the service of Mediterranean products.

Another restaurant in the province of Valencia, in the town of Sagunt, also made it into the guide. This is Arrels, where the inspectors of the French guide were particularly impressed by chef Vicky Sevilla’s modern and sophisticated dishes with Mediterranean flavours.

Distinctions throughout the Valencian Community

The Valencian Community now has 28 Michelin stars with the addition of the three restaurants in the capital, Arrels in Sagunto and two other establishments in Alcossebre (Restaurante Atalaya) and Dénia (Peix & Brases).

In this new edition, the Bib Gourmand recognition goes to two other restaurants in the city of Valencia: Forastera and Yarza. It also goes to other restaurants in the region, such as Steki and Tabula Rasa in Alicante; and Huerto Martínez in Cheste.
