Excellent service ( English menu and English speaking staff). Locals consider it pricey. In comparison with NYC, DC or Moscow prices for this quality of seafood and service, it is very reasonable ( $40-$80 per person depending on the choice of drinks and choice/size of seafood portions. Ours was about $50 pp with an appetizer, entree, dessert , and a bottle of local white wine ). Will definitely go back

This all made sense as the highly rated and reputable Paella restaurants were open from 1-4:00 or so. One thing for sure make your reservations before you get to Valencia. We were lucky and got a table at 3 a day before. Smaller/cozy spot and looked like they had a 2nd level. We started with a Sangria and a Majou. For appetizers, it was the recommended Gambas with Chili Aoili-exquisite -I was really concerned that we couldn't get any better after this. The Bread with Aoli and olives was also tasty. Paella Valenciana (with Rabbit/Chicken) is the authentic one and has to be ordered a day in advance. We ended up ordering the Seafood (de Marisco) Paella which can be ordered same day. Filled with all types of seafood-delicious! Table next to us ordered the one with Lobster which looked like a winner also. Service was excellent!

They get a really good sear on the outside and the middle is red...like bright red. But it's delicious and so simple. This was really good stuff and the vermouth was on point. Hope to return.

Make sure to make reservations, or you probably won't get a table. It's popular. Service is top-notch. Friendly and prompt, and the wait staff will be glad to tell you about the day's specials. Their English is limited, and we are just learning Spanish, but they are patient and good-natured. The restaurant is just around the corner from our flat, and we go often. The owner knows us by now, and gives us a friendly greeting. But, even if you aren't a regular, they will treat you as a friend anyway. Feel free to linger after dinner and chat over coffee, wine, or dessert. The table is yours for the evening. It is customary in Valencia to make an evening of it, and they won't bring the bill until you ask for it.

First, it represents the largest produce market in Europe, spanning 86,000 square feet and housing over 1,200 stalls. With its towering dome (Photo 3) and basilica layout, this market feels huge... ...but not intimidating. This space is far less a tourist magnet than a daily functioning, community-focused operation heavily used by the local populace. We saw businesses specializing in fresh rabbit, snails, and specific bean varieties for authentic Valencian paella. There were entire stalls dedicated to freshly harvested saffron, local Valencian citrus, and local seafood like eel and cuttlefish. Of course, for your more immediate noshing needs, you can also find appetizing baked goods, Middle Eastern sweets, and Jamon by the slice. The Art Nouveau architecture is stunning with its iron-and-steel framework and stained glass roof panels. Located in the heart of the old city in Ciutat Vella, it's close to other key landmarks like La Lonja de la Seda (The Silk Exchange) and Catedral de Valencia. RELATED - Exploring Valencia?
