Simposio

Simposio is a gastronomic space in Valencia led by chef Roger Julián, interpreting Valencian cuisine through a contemporary and technical lens. Emphasizing fresh, local products sourced primarily from within the Valencian Community, the restaurant follows a market cuisine philosophy that prioritizes seasonal vegetables, fresh fish, wild herbs, and local truffles. Since opening in November 2022, it has received notable recognition including one Michelin star, one Repsol Sun, listing in the Macarfi Guide, and four radishes from the Green Guide. The dining room centers around an open kitchen island, allowing guests to engage directly with the kitchen team and observe the culinary process in a transparent and intimate setting. The kitchen's narrative approach ensures each dish reflects a story grounded in preservation, sustainability, and innovation. Chef Roger Julián brings over 18 years of experience, trained at the Valencia Hospitality School and in esteemed restaurants such as La Sucursal and Apicius. Simposio's tasting menus evolve with the freshest market ingredients, showcasing specialties like Napicol ice cream with pickled radishes, smoky creamy rice with Valencian oysters and coastal vegetables, and pigeon with smoked cauliflower cream and natural pâté.
