Combining the technical skills of French cuisine, with the detailed flavor awareness of Italian, as…read morewell as the fresh ingredients and profile of Spanish food results in an intriguing mix of culinary arts displayed by contemporary restaurant Palao Bistrot. Every day, the chef at Palao Bistrot selects fresh raw ingredients from the market, creating a menu that reflects the beauty and range of the Valencia garden. My friend and I ate at Palao Bistrot for dinner, and were more than satisfied with our experience. The service was great, as everyone was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant design is contemporary yet inviting, with warm wall colors and tall wood tables that create an intimate atmosphere. We started with the fish of the day - salmon - and shared an order of salmon sashimi, which was sliced just right, getting enough of the raw flavor in each piece. The fish was so fresh, tasting like it was just caught that day. This dish shows how Palao Bistrot stays true to its concept of only using the freshest ingredients. My friend loved her main course of vitello tonnato, which was sliced veal covered in a creamy, mayonnaise-like sauce flavored with tuna. She raved about the sauce, saying the tuna flavor was not overpowering but instead enhanced the taste of the meat. I opted for French duck thigh confit, with potatoes baked with thyme. Expertly seasoned, this dish would make any renown French chef proud. The potatoes were tender and not mushy, and the duck was juicy. We both enjoyed the oven baked crespella with ragu sauce, which was savory and cooked to perfection. Dinner was completed with my first ever bonet, a dessert from the Piedmonte region of Italy, it was chocolatey perfection. I highly recommend Palao Bistrot for anyone looking for a mix of culinary influences. From the service to the atmosphere, we loved everything about the restaurant, especially the delicious food!

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.

The first starter was a Crispy Goat Cheese Salad with Lettuce, Walnuts, Raisins, Peach, Tomato and Jam. The salad was filled with a variety of flavors and textures: creamy goat cheese, crisp lettuce, crunchy walnuts, sweet fruits and jam, and juicy tomatoes. Next were Grilled Squid Rings. These tender pieces of squid were topped with a flavorful lemon and spice infused marinade. The last starter was a Potato Timbale with Burgos Blood Sausage, Caramelized Apple and Braised Onion. This dish was savory and flavorful. The apples were a nice compliment to the seasoned blood sausage. Finally we had the Valencian Paella.
