20 RESTAURANT HABITUAL SPACE. Our concept for the restaurant was to create a space where wood would play a major role. The idea was to ensure a quiet, inviting and elegant atmosphere where you can enjoy a menu grounded on tradition. In short, comfort food in a comfortable space.

RESTAURANT HABITUAL Mediterranean comfort food is what’s on offer at this restaurant recently opened on the lower floor of the Colon Market in Valencia. The menu is full of recognisable Mediterranean flavours. All our dishes are made with locally-sourced food, lending a special emphasis to fruit and vegetables grown by farmers in the proximity of Valencia.Over the last few years we have created our own network of local growers to ensure that the produce comes straight from the field to our kitchen. Our idea is to be able to offer ‘vegetables a la carte’. This close collaboration with local farmers means that each individual variety can be harvested precisely at the optimum moment to guarantee maximum taste and texture.FROM THE FIELD TO THE KITCHEN Here at HABITUAL we use only the best seasonal produce thanks to a constant dialogue with our network of local producers from the townland of Mahuella on the outskirts of Valencia and its surrounding area. 21
