Riff

Bernd H. Knöller is a legend in Valencia and the chef and owner of the one Michelin star restaurant, Riff. Riff was the last restaurant we tasted during our gastronomic tour of Valencia this spring.

We had a fish menu for our lunch on Sunday March 22nd, which was composed of six dishes in addition to the usual starters.

Our meal started very good, especially with the tuna and the white Bloody Marie shot, served with incredible breads but... it ended disappointing with a pretty bad dessert, a mascarpone cream and prunes. It is always a shame to end a good meal on a bad note.

The wine list was great, with one of the best ciders in the world, the AnanasRenette 2016 number 39 from Schneider house.

The service in English was so tedious but they did their best.

In the end, unfortunately, Riff was the gastronomic experience we appreciated the least of all three in Valencia. We are not saying that it was not good but we definitely found better and if Bernd H. Knöller wants to keep his star, he’d better up his cooking game a notch (or two).
