Quart, 72
QuaRte is Rubén's artistic and culinary project, born seven years ago in Mislata and which today we see reborn in the bustling Carrer Quart in Valencia. Trained musician, he has always felt the musical harmony in food, because he knows that dishes can also excite and evoke memories. Each recipe is a symphony of flavors to be experienced with all five senses, even the ear when we hear a preparation crackling. And like the songs, every creation has its place and its value. In CuaRte complex ideas are slogans like: “matching kitchen”, “rearguard of the vanguard” i “fusion without confusion”. For Rubén, gastronomy is culture and chefs are researchers(e)s i guardian(e)s of traditions, well now, can't resist a good coffee, long-fermented bread and juicy fruits in summer. QuaRte, more than a restaurant, it's a meeting of flavors, cultures and emotions that is nourished by Rubén's travels in Nigeria, where he has discovered for his creative cuisine flavors that Europe does not offer. Roman-style aubergines with touches of baba ganoush and cane honey, karaage or cod akara fritters are some of their delicious proposals that transport you to Africa. His work fills him with satisfaction, even more so when he sees empty dishes returning to the kitchen, that's why he dreams of consolidating his project and continuing to create, always with a touch of art. At vore, who does NOT bet on the proposal? MARÍA DE QUESADA
