Arrels Restaurant

Arrels Restaurant: cuisine rooted in Sagunto’s old town

Arrels Restaurant is a fine-dining address in the old town of Sagunto, in the province of Valencia. Its cooking is guided by the market, the quality of the produce and close ties to local suppliers, while a creative, contemporary approach gives the dishes their own identity. The restaurant describes excellence in its ingredients and honesty in their preparation as the two principles behind the kitchen.

Chef Vicky Sevilla and the origins of Arrels

Chef Vicky Sevilla opened Arrels when she was just 25. Her cooking draws on memory, place and produce, bringing technique and raw ingredients together in dishes with a distinct point of view. Sevilla has also taken part in culinary events including the D*NA Festival, promoted by Quique Dacosta, and Gastrónoma Valencia.

A dining room in the former stables of the Palace of the Dukes of Gaeta

The restaurant occupies an unusual historic setting: the former stables of the Palace of the Dukes of Gaeta, a 16th-century medieval palace. It stands at 18 Calle Castillo, on the route through Sagunto’s old quarter toward the castle. Architectural features preserved in the dining room include two Gothic arches, a Mozarabic arch and a Romanesque arch. The setting reflects the project’s attempt to unite tradition, respect for the past and a creative view of contemporary cooking.
