Being from Central Florida, we thought it would be cute to stop into Bar Orlando. Holy cow! So glad we did. This place was amazing. We elected to have the daily special- a 3 course meal that included our choice of an appetizer, main course, plus all we could drink wine and a fabulous dessert. Real home cooking and the most hospitable hostess/owner. The most incredible part was that the lunch was around $12.50 a person! This place was a genuine gem! Loved every minute of our time there and we will be back.

It was explained that there was a reservation for those chairs in 90 minutes. We agreed we could dine in less time. We started with the house white wine. It was pleasant. We asked for the cod croquettes. They were tender and flavourful. Our 2nd choice was the sausage cooked in cider. It had big flavour! Our bread soaked up the sauce. The 3rd was the blood sausage. It was my absolute favorite. I've been all over the world and have had lots of "blood pudding". This is by far the best. We finished with a cheese plate with 3 kinds. A flavourful plate. Not for wimps. It was accompanied by walnuts and candy. I spread some softer cheese on the rest of my bread. We had a very enjoyable experience. The staff was wonderful. 42 euro for 4 shared tapas, bread plate and 2 glasses of wine each. Nice vibe. Relaxing. Lots of decore to look at.

I didn't eat at the location so I can't give them a full five stars, but will say that it can be…read moredifficult to find a place in Spain (let alone Valencia) that serves paella for one person (many have a two person minimum). After venturing to a couple of other restaurants, I was referred to La Valenciana by one of the restaurants as a place where I could possibly get a single order of paella. I went into this location of La Valenciana but they informed me they could only do paella for a minimum of two people; however, they were kind enough to call their other location to see if that location could do it for one person which they said they could. So I was given a business card which included directions on how to get to their other location which wasn't far away. Customer service plus! The other location (Caballeros, 21. 46001) was just as lovely. I was warmly greeted. In fact, they expected me and showed me to my seat right away! Oh, yeees with the special treatment. Ha! Anyways, I thought of ordering the vegetable paella but went with the seafood paella to get a more traditional taste. It did not disappoint! Check out the photos and you'll see EXACTLY what I mean. Delicious! (I imagine the locations are consistent in both service and taste.)

Paella! Our group of four was so excited to try paella here in Valencia because (1) none of us had…read moreeaten it before, and (2) what better place to try it than at in Valencia, its birthplace? I'm glad to have gotten it out of the way because I don't see myself eating it again for a very long time. It's not that the food was bad, but it's a lot. We shared the seafood paella and the traditional paella. I mostly had the seafood paella but I did try a few bites of the traditional one with rabbit and escargot. The seafood was fresh, and there was a healthy amount of prawns and squid. If you're not really into seafood or can't stand too much of the aroma or essence of seafood, do NOT get it because it is strong. After a while I got sick of the seafood flavor, which isn't a knock on the food, but a lesson that paella simply needs to be complemented with other foods. The traditional paella was quite good as well, and neither had rice that was too burnt (which I liked). I also didn't think the escargot and rabbit were particularly special. Again, portions were tremendous and I think we all left very, very full. Keep in mind that you need at least two people ordering paella in order to get it. It runs at about 18€ per person for any paella, which isn't on the low end, but you do get filled up since it's all rice.
