Menú Degustación Vegetariano en Portolito Centro

A vegetarian Mediterranean fusion tasting menu, designed for sharing, served at Portolito Centro in the centre of Valencia. The menu combines traditional Mediterranean recipes with Asian references.

The outing is a tasting menu with no meat or fish, in which Mediterranean fusion cuisine is combined with Asian influences. All the dishes are ordered to share at the table, and the selection is signed by the restaurant's chef, who alternates between the house creations. The venue is right in the centre, close to the Town Hall and the Teatro Principal.

It begins with a coca flatbread with olive oil, tomato and alioli, followed by bravas served in a bucket. Next come chargrilled artichokes with hazelnut romesco and shavings of Parmesan, and seasonal vegetable gyozas with a kimchi emulsion. Korean-style glazed tofu with caramelised leek leads into a pumpkin tataki cooked at a low temperature and finished over the embers, accompanied by mushroom broth and wakame seaweed. The finale is a dark chocolate brownie and a gin and tonic sorbet, also to share.

It is an outing designed for groups who want to try several dishes at once, and also for couples who prefer to share their meal. The venue's decor is New York industrial in style. Drinks are not included in the menu.
