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?

The prices here are pretty good I saw the paella for 6 or 7€ which is pretty cheap although the food is premade and just heated up. I would recommend a visit here when spending time in Valencia.

Excellent seafood restaurant near Mercado Central.

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

We each chose a tapa and a beer. I chose fried baby squids which were delicious 5€. The beer was refreshing and went well with the fried squids. Someone else ordered mussels which were okay. This place is good for fried stuff and tapas sized dishes but if you want freshly grilled seafood there are lots of other places in the immediate area.
