Popular local restaurant Sibarita has opened its first permanent location in Calle Serpis, expanding its presence in the Valencian gastronomic scene. The new location aims to create a relaxed dining experience while maintaining the brand’s focus on providing high quality, traditional Valencian dishes. Sibarita has already made its mark on the Valencian culinary scene, its first location opened in early 2023 and it now boasts three locations, with locations in ‘Mercader Cabanyal’ and ‘Mercado de la Imprenta’.

The Menu

Known for their gourmet croquettes and signature Spanish tortillas (omelettes), in fact, they earned second place in Spain’s “The Best Tortilla” competition last October and  “The Best Croquette” in Valencia too!

The menu also features:

• Croquettes with flavours like Iberian ham, cured beef & parmesan, beef cheek & mushrooms, and red prawn.
• Tortillas, including carbonara, truffle, sobrasada, and “blanc i negre” (black & white sausage).
• Seasonal dishes like bravas Sibarita, broken eggs with ham, and grilled pork ear.

Everything is made fresh, using high-quality ingredients. Co-owner and head chef Miguel Álvarez notes, “We respect traditional flavours but always add a touch of creativity.”

A Space for Community

CEO of Sibarita, Iván Fernández, described the location as “a place where we could do what we love without restrictions—where we have full control over quality, service, and the overall experience.” The new location also allows for the space to be used for wine pairings, group menus, and a focus on traditional Valencian almuerzos (mid-morning meals).

This results in an intimate but modern space that holds up to 54 guests and can cater to the different needs of the community throughout the day.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, Sibarita hints at a future expansion across the Valencian Community and possibly to Madrid. However, for now they are focused on their current location and perfecting their craft.

IVÁN  FERNÁNDEZ: “The winner was the oxtail with Pedro Ximenez, it is a croquette which the stew inside is mixed with béchamel sauce and is cooked for more than 6 hours over low heat. It requires a lot of work and time, and of course, it has been noticed. Indeed, we were the most voted and the winners of this year’s edition!”
