The building that for decades housed the Aragón Cinemas, at the intersection of Avenida de Aragón and Avenida del Puerto, will change its function and image in just a few weeks. After a long remodeling, the building will become the setting for Dani García ‘s new gastronomic project in the Valencian capital.
According to information published by Las Provincias, the inauguration is scheduled for mid-September, specifically September 18, when the restaurant will be officially opened.
The name of García’s new restaurant in Valencia will be Alegal.
The premises will be managed by the Valencian company Empieza el Baile, known for promoting projects such as Living Bakkali, while the Dani García Group will assume the culinary direction. The idea is to give shape to an unprecedented concept within the chef’s universe, with a view to replicating it in other cities in the future.
The space will have two entrances from Aragón and from Avenida del Puert and will have an approximate area of 1,500 square meters distributed to accommodate 300 customers. The average ticket will be between 35 and 50 euros, according to the same media.
The interior design has been carried out by the Pablo Peyra studio, also responsible for projects such as Feroz or Noble. His proposal combines fine materials, scenographic lighting and a layout designed to offer an immersive dining experience.
With this opening, Valencia adds a new example of the conversion of singular buildings into restaurant spaces. It is not the only one: recently, the old Industrias Aceiteras Casanova factory on Avenida del Puerto was acquired by McDonald’s to install one of its restaurants there, as reported by Levante-EMV.
