If you're looking for authentic Valencian tapas in Barrio El Carmen, then head over to Bar La…read morePilareta. Serving locals and visitors alike since 1917, they are known for their Clochinas (Valencian Mussels). Definitely a must try! The bar will be busy starting at 21:00, but just step inside to see if there is a vacant table. We got lucky and the waiter came over and got our drink order right away. If you want to beat the crowd, you can head over at 20:00. Recommendations: 1) Toasts: Rebana pan con Tomate 2) Tapas: Patatas Bravas, Calamares, Clochinas 3) Sandwiches: Lomo con Queso

We were recommended…read moreto come here from a local that told us to skip on the tourist traps and to go to Sagardi in Valencia where we can have authentic Spanish cuisine. So we went there and had tapas and sangrias. The fresh tapas come out like every 5-6 minutes the servers will walk the fresh plate to every table and put what ever was left on the bar counter where the other tapas are. So pretty much you sit where you want or ask a server to be polite, then you sit order drinks and if you want the tapas from the bar - they are self serve or as I mentioned the fresh from the kitchen warm tapas will come from the kitchen and a server will come to your table and offer them. You will be charged by how many food picks or spoons are on your table and that's it. It's super easy and quick. Our parties favorites were the burger tapa, the croquetas, and the chorizo tapa. Personally I also really enjoyed the sausage tapa, pizza tapa and the anchovies tapa. Ask the waiter behind the counter for any recommendations. The bacon wrapped croqueta tapa was delicious too I didn't take a photo because I immediately ate it!! They have clean rest rooms. The only thing is the door to get to the restrooms is a little heavy so if you are with elderly or have a disability ask a server to help you. Other than that good music played, and it was a cool environment. Enjoy!

As an upscale restaurant I must admit the food and the service as well as the atmosphere was well…read moreabove par. The staff really couldn't have been more professional. But also being somewhat upscale they were a little more formal than obviously a casual place. Once seated we were told we had 2 hours to finish our meal which is a very long time for just two Americans eating. The only issue I have is that our food arrived amazingly fast I mean like maybe under 5 minutes post ordering. After that the staff kept coming by asking if they could clear my plate because I eat quite a bit faster than my companion, my wife. They asked me two to three maybe even four times if they could clear my plate which really was unwelcome since we had 2 hours to finish our meal. As I stated earlier the food was really really good if you check out my photos the atmosphere was really nice. I am an architect and can really appreciate nice design and configurations. I would gladly go back and run to recommend this place I do know my wife stated the same issue I outline regarding being rushed and they said that they would adjust it. I would gladly revisit the establishment and when we return back to the Valencia I plan on going there once again. I highly recommend it especially the steak that was very well cooked perfect for our desire which was rare.

Definitely worth a quick stop for visitors to the city. Quality: We went with house special a Fried Cuttlefish Sandwich, and it was incredible. The texture was great, browned to perfection and just a little bit of spring to the fish. Pair it with a couple cold beers and you would struggle to find a better lunch. Quantity: Massive portions. Value: Very cheap. Ambiance: El Tostadero is a locals spot in Valencia. The casual shop has a wrap around bar for seating, with food options on display in front of you. They also have a few tables outside. Inside prepare to watch yourself eat and drink in a mirror with music blasting as the workers constantly push out more sandwiches. Crowd: A few regulars, constant take-out. Service: Fast.
