Usually we go for a beer or coffee and a snack, so we haven't tried their set lunch menu yet. The outdoor seating area is really lovely.

Wow this was rough…read more It's a tourist trap and has mediocre-at-Best food. Seriously everything was bad. The gazpacho was bad. The valencia salad was bad. The paella was microwaved. The salmon wasn't worth calling a fish. Even the desserts were bad. The strawberry ice cream tasted like toothpaste and the tiramisu was almost dry. I hate writing negative reviews. Really hate it. But I hope everyone can avoid this place if you're careful enough to use Yelp.

Grilled Octopus was delicious, soft and tender. Cheese was very good quality. Pig snout was a little unexpected- I didn't know it would be fried so very oily. I personally don't like fried food so I'd prefer if it's slow cooked. Overall, definitely recommend!!

There are many steak restaurants to pick from in the Cánovas-Gran Via area, but most of them are horrible quality. This place is a family run business, owners direct from Mar del Plata Argentina, and by far the best quality and most consistent steak house in Valencia. I have been to their other location many times so I know the owner and the food. Don't go anywhere else for steak/meat, this is the best so far. Appetizers, main dishes, desserts, all of great taste and quality. Enjoy!!!

The most ambitious restaurant we went to in Spain, super fresh ingredients, clear flavors, small plates. If we'd been served these dishes in a multi-star Michelin restaurant we'd have been happy with them. Instead, bizarrely, they're coming out of a stall in a (high end) market. The woman serving could not have been friendler!

Jamie W and I stayed in Valencia for only a day and a half, but we knew we needed to try paella…read moresince this city represents its birthplace. We had plans to try Navarro, one of the higher-end Spanish restaurants, just because it showed up on a couple of best-of lists, but we found it closed on the evening we were in town. It was starting to rain, so we rushed to find a last-minute substitute. This was the restaurant we found, and lucky for us, it turned out to be great. It was an atmospheric space with both indoor and outdoor tables. Surprisingly, they seated us without a reservation. We fortunately chose to be inside as a torrential downpour interrupted our meal. A complimentary starter of Spanish olives and housemade potato chips arrived as soon as we sat down (Photo 6). We first ordered the award-winning 8€ Las Bravas del Trinquet, their unique version of patata bravas topped with a spicy tomato-based brava sauce and garlic aioli (Photo 9). That was a tasty delight that elevated an already great side dish. We also went for the 14,75€ Ensalada de Tomate de Temporada where they served juicy grape tomatoes topped with canned longfin tuna (Photo 8), It was yet another flavorful dish with the sweet tomatoes providing a fresh contrast to the tuna out of a tin. Our main event came soon after, the 18,1€ Paella Valenciana, sizzling in an authentically well-worn pan (Photo 10). Completely satisfying, it followed the traditional recipe of chicken and rabbit, green beans and butter beans, and high-grade Bomba rice. Our meal was an unexpected winner. FOOD - 5 stars...superb execution of authentic local dishes AMBIANCE - 5 stars...comfortably atmospheric SERVICE - 4.5 stars...attentive and relatively fast TOTAL - 5 stars...definitely the place to get real paella RELATED - Exploring Valencia?

As we sauntered the historic alleyways between the Central Market and Valencia Cathedral, both massive structures, we came upon this compact tapas spot just as we started feeling peckish. There was an outdoor table available, so we just grabbed it. First we ordered a trio of 3€ Pinchos which were sold as a unit - wedges of crusty rustic bread topped with tortilla (egg), cheese with almonds, prosciutto with marinated olives, respectively (Photo 8). It was a classic traditional start to our bites. Then we shared a trio of Gildas - two 2,5€ tapas with anchovies, olive, and green pepper, the third was a 2,8€ version with white anchovies (Photo 9). Our last tapas were the heartiest and most satisfying, the 8€ Tortilla stuffed with brie cheese (Photo 10). We stopped because we already had paella in mind for dinner. It turned out to be the right amount of food for a late afternoon snack, and the execution was exactly what we expected from a popular tapas bar in the middle of Valencia. Too bad we missed out on the tasty-looking sangria.
