Carcaixent, Spain
Origen
Origen brings Valencian cooking back to its source in the citrus-farming town of Carcaixent, where chef Àlex Vidal works exclusively with organic, locally sourced ingredients to reframe traditional dishes and stews for a contemporary dining room. Three tasting menus, Carcaixent, Origen, and Ternils, structure the meal around place rather than trend. The glass-fronted kitchen and focused sourcing make the cooking's logic visible from the first course.
