Frommer's Review

Of German parents but born in Madrid, chef Joaquín Schmidt Río-Valle is becoming one of the best known chefs in Valencia. His restaurant shines brightly because of his philosophy of "preparing each menu as if I'm cooking for cherished friends." With an impressive wine list to back up his culinary creations, his food always rises above the merely routine or even the merely competent. From his menu surprises, anticipate an explosion of unexpected aromas and tastes. All dishes are prepared using only extra-virgin olive oils, the best of balsamic vinegars, and special salts he imports from Brittany and Great Britain. "The Menu of All Faiths" is a menu with four dishes plus dessert, but his "Gourmand Menu" brings you five dishes plus dessert. The extravaganza is the "Joaquín Schmidt Menu," seven dishes plus cheese and dessert.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
