After our first visit to Bon Amb, around a month ago, we were very surprised. Though the Michelin Guide was mistaken until now in not giving a second star to Ricard Camarena in Valencia (we wrote about it last week), in the case of Alberto Ferruz’s restaurant, they did a good job in giving it in the 2017 edition. It was a very nice surprise. At 32, and after some internships he made good use of with Martín Berasategui, at El Poblet, Taillevent and recently De Librije, the cuisine of this young man has reached important standards. We can only lament that there’s no risotto in his menu, and that, like many others, Alberto can surrender to the “lime-yuzu-dashi-chilli pepper” trend, but you must acknowledge they’re perfectly used and harmonised in recipes with a Valencian background.
