Bar X by Ricard Camarena

València — L'Eixample, ground floor of Mercado de Colón

On the ground floor of the modernist Mercado de Colón, in L'Eixample, Bar X is the casual side of Ricard Camarena, the two-Michelin-starred chef behind Valencia's flagship fine-dining kitchen. Fresh market cooking with nods to tradition, Mediterranean and locally-sourced ingredients, nothing more formal than a seat at the bar. It runs non-stop from noon to midnight and takes no reservations -- a rarity in this city.
