    Cod fish fritter with a red pepper cream sauce
    Rachel J.

    I was in Valencia in July and the day before my departure, and I wanted to have the paella before I left. The tricky thing is that I would be alone. Most places that serve paella require you to purchase two servings because of the pans in which they cook it. The next tricky thing was finding a place that served a paella I could eat because of my dietary restrictions. I searched and searched and saw that Masusa Paella Bar did everything! I was in Valencia in July and the day before my departure, and I wanted to have the paella before I left. I have never had it before! The tricky thing is that I would be alone.

The next tricky thing was finding a place that served a paella I could eat because of my dietary restrictions. I searched and searched and saw that Masusa Paella Bar did everything! The third tricky thing was getting a seat. You have to leave a WhatsApp text and then a way to reply for confirmation. I did not know this at the time. I didn't know that I was taking a chance when I decided to go there without a reservation. Sure enough, when I asked for a seat, there were none. As I began to walk away the wonderful lady called me back and asked me if I was willing to sit at small table, near a large fan, which required me to traverse a couple of cords. I am emphatically said yes. This was a great decision! Even though I was in a corner by fans, the vibe in the place was joyful. If you visit their instagram page, the sense of joy that you see is what I experienced. According to the menu, you need to allow 30 minutes to receive a paella order, so I ordered the cod fish fritters and the vegetable paella. Each bite was better than the last and the first bite was so, so good. I enjoyed every minute of my time there and will go again, If I am so blessed to visit Valencia again.

    Octopus

    Excellent service, nice ambiance, especially if you're seated outside and great food. - the scallops here were amazing. 6 large sized scallops cooked perfectly - the grilled octopus was very good as well, but a touch below the scallops - the spinach salad with goat cheese was excellent. - we ordered the Valencia paella and the fideua paella (came with squid ink). Both were delicious and we had a hard time differentiating between them.

    4.5 stars We were eager to taste the authentic paella, Masusa was highly recommended. After following the Google map direction for 30 minutes we finally reached the destiny. At 2pm, we grabbed the last table outside; the weather was perfect. We shared an octopus appetizer to start with some wine, it was very yummy. The texture was slightly chewy and tastier than the version we had at home, I enjoyed the charred crispy edges especially. Black ink seafood paella recommended by the waitress was so tasty, we didn't mind at all that our teeth were turning black. There were many different variations of paella on other tables, most were yellowish from the saffron, some bright red from beets or spice and black ones from squid ink. We enjoyed a delicious meal and a very pleasant experience.

    Traditional Valencian Paella

    Looking for traditional Valencian Paella near the city center? Then head over to Masusa Paella Bar in Ruzafa! We sat inside the cozy restaurant and ordered some tapas and drinks before our paella. Recommendations: For tapas, try the patatas bravas. For paella, try the traditional Valencian Paella with chicken and rabbit. So good!

    MUST TRY!! We got lucky and was able to snag a seat indoors. Outside tables were completely full and shortly after being seated, the whole restaurant filled up. Be patient, there's only one waiter working the whole restaurant but I promise the wait is worth it! The cup of sangria is massive, I wished I had photographed my hand with it for reference. Crab salad on avocado was good but it wasn't anything memorable. Now I usually don't like battered fried food, but ommgggg this fried fish was SO light and flakey! It was cooked to perfection. The star of the night was the squid ink paella, put a dollop of the garlic cream and it's a game changer. This was the best paella dish we had on our Spain vacation.

    Small place with big flavors. One of the best meals in Spain. The salad was fresh. We had a special appetizer that knocked my socks off. The paella was delicious. The 18 euro wine was also surprisingly excellent.

    The paella here is excellent. The traditional Valencian has excellent flavor and the portions are definitely big. We ordered a pan for 3 people and we were stuffed. The chicken croquettes were also good.

    We haven't had a paella but three other dishes were of poor taste while clearly overpriced. Truly bad experience

    Great paella and tapas away from the tourist center of Valencia. Patatas bravas and croquetas also very good. Lots of outdoor tables.

    During Las Fallas we enjoyed a 2pm lunch and sat outside next to our favorite Falla.

    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.
