Dishes

  • Spicy tonyina nigiri (128.7) — A playful bite merging Japanese nigiri form with Valencian bluefin tuna (tonyina) and a spicy dressing — an opening snack exclusive to the La Gaira menu.
  • Eel blanquet (190.7) — The second course in 'The Eel' series — Albufera freshwater eel prepared as a blanquet (a traditional Valencian cold-cut emulsion), celebrating a defining ingredient of the region.
  • Pine nuts and caviar (190.7) — The first course in 'The Eel' series — Valencian pine nuts paired with caviar, preparing the palate for the series of preparations centred on the iconic Albufera eel.
  • Shrimp tartar and caviar (190.7) — The third course in the 'The Shrimp' series — raw shrimp tartar elevated with the luxury of caviar. An indulgent climax to La Salita's exploration of Denia's finest crustacean.
  • Denia's shrimp (190.7) — Fresh gambas from Denia — one of Spain's most prized crustaceans — served in its most elemental form as part of the three-part 'The Shrimp' series. Exceptional sweetness and iodine.
  • The Tiara (190.7) — One of La Salita's signature preparations — a visually striking dish named 'The Tiara' that appears across all tasting menu tiers. Begoña Rodrigo's iconic centrepiece.
  • Oyster salad (190.7) — A composed oyster preparation in salad form — fresh, briny, and bright. One of the signature snack bites from the flagship tasting menu.
  • Sweet and sour mackerel coca (190.7) — Valencian flatbread (coca) topped with sweet-and-sour cured mackerel — a snack bridging regional bread traditions with fine-dining technique.
  • Bivalve with sweet and sour soup (190.7) — A seasonal bivalve — clam, mussel, or cockle — served in a sweet-and-sour broth, a palate-cleansing transition before the final savoury courses.
  • Avocado, smoked trout, and aniseed (190.7) — Smoked trout with avocado and the delicate herbal lift of aniseed — a cool, aromatic snack that reflects Rodrigo's love of contrasting textures.
