    After touring in old town Valencia- we visited this long established, well rated restaurant and we…read morewere not disappointed. We started with the Fish and seafood soup, which was fine. For our entree we shared a large Seafood paella- which was delicious. We had white wine and for dessert we had Flan. A nice dining experience to which I would return.

    A Food Tour Guide advised to eat restaurant Paella for lunch. If it is served for dinner, more…read morethan likely it isn't fresh. 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! With the two sisters who were Owners helping with our table. They've been around since 1951. Would highly recommend!

    This place is really out of the way. It is at least 30-40 mins car ride…read more I am not sure if it was worth the trip since we only had a few hours to roam around Valencia before heading back to Madrid. So plan accordingly. We ordered the chicken/ rabbit paella and seafood paella both were very flavorful. We also ordered the tuna belly and fried anchovies which were delicious. Very good service as well

    Wow, it's been quite a while since this restaurant has gotten a yelp review. I get it, it is out of…read morethe way from Valencia, about a 30minute and $30 dollar taxi ride. Longer if you are in the heart of Valencia, but it is worth it for the award winning paella and seafood. You are surrounded by rice paddies and you know it is a great local spot when there are other spanish folks and the servers speak a little english. Luckily the menu is in spanish and english. Service is great, nice and laid back, enjoy your food, don't rush through it style. The white wine sangria was delicious and refreshing. We had langostine and prawns and the special paella with iberico ham. Every grain of rice was very flavorfull! If you plan to take a taxi back, they staff are kind enough to call a taxi for you, keep in mind it will take 30-40min for the taxi to get to the restaurant. Your alternative option is to take the #24 bus at the center of town back to Valencia which leaves once per hour, check apple or google maps for the time.

    We stumbled upon Neco Buffet in search of a place to eat dinner around 9 PM. Apparently, local…read morerestaurants don't open for dinner until after 9 PM. Well, our biological clocks were tuned differently and we were hungry. We were also sick of eating white bread and cheese and craving some salad and veggies. Neco is an all you can eat buffet priced at 9.99 EUR per person! The food is fresh and very good. There were several salads to choose from, roasted vegetables, roast turkey, beef, salmon, squid (awesome), paella and a crap load of desserts. The poached pears were great and I totally pigged out on the profiteroles, they were just so freakin' good. Awesome.

    This place was awesome the only reason I am deducting a star is that most of the food didn't stay…read morein so long. This can be a problem with buffets because the food sits out under warming lamps and sometimes collects bacteria. Having said that if your a buffet type of person definitely check the place out. The restaurant and bathrooms are very clean. There is a wide selection of foods and it is not regionally biased. You'll surely find a few things that you like. The baked chicken and roasted turkey were particular favorites. The pasta, albeit white pasta, was surprisingly very tasty. There is plenty of veggies and seafood if that's your thing. There were plenty of desserts from fruits to pastries and cakes. Surprisingly my favorite was the poached pear. This thing had a beautiful deep reddish purple color, it was sweet, a little syrupy, and not to firm or too soft- Awesome!! As is always the case with me it's important that the price is right and you get value for your dollar. This place hits the mark. Check it out for a casual laid back and economical opition while traveling.
