Hands down the best meal experience I've had to date in Spain.

I won't dwell too much on the food and vermut as there's no praise I could give that hasn't already been said ten times over. But it's damn good. Seriously. I'm typically a contrarian, but in this case: believe the hype. Their preparation of simple but fresh ingredients is genius, and I still have the sensation of several of their dishes in the back of my tongue (which is saying something given it's been over 5 months since my visit and I have the memory of a goldfish). Their house vermut was also a wonderful, rich pairing with the dishes I had from the chef's selection menu.

Also delighted to report that as of September 2024, they were permitting single diners for their tasting menu -- something I particularly appreciate as a solo diner since many places require a party of at least 2.

Last but not least, I'm not usually one to mind too much about service one way or the other, but the staff at Casa Montaña was too outstanding to not give them a shout out. I felt very well taken care of throughout my meal, even as a solo diner at the bar. Every person who served me a dish off the tasting menu was well-versed in the dish, as well as gracious enough to bear my questions in badly-spoken Spanish and (mostly) English.

Also worth a mention that reservations are highly recommended. I got lucky lining up on a weekday right at opening, and was one of the last people to get in on a walk-in.

Thank you, Casa Montaña, for such an unforgettable dining experience. I hope to return sooner than later.

Eating at Casa Montana is worth our trip to Valencia. Every dish,using seasonal ingredients, is done finer than fine dining. And all at regular tapas bar prices! We started with humble vegetable dishes and stuck with them throughout because they were so well done. The leek was a masterpiece. Then the potatoes and fish mousse was a flavour bomb. A must-go if you are into good food.
