Ayora — Ayora town centre (inland Valencia province, Vall de Cofrentes–Ayora comarca)

In Ayora, deep in inland Valencia province, this newly minted Michelin Bib Gourmand is run by chef couple Kiko and Elisabet, who forage their own herbs and mushrooms in the surrounding hills. Seasonal cooking built around standout rice dishes, including a Catalan-style rossejat: proof that Valencia's food scene reaches well beyond the coast.
