El Encuentro is a stone's throw away from the Plaça de l'Ajuntament (the main square in Old Town…read morethat is now closed to traffic for pedestrians.) Don't judge it from the simple exterior. It's more of a traditional restaurant with some variations from a standard menu you'll find across Valencia that cater to tourists. We began with the meatballs (a must). I had the beef tail, which was one of the most delicious oxtail stews I've ever had. Full of depth and flavor, the oxtail sits in a delectable gravy which you'll be able to sop up with some bread. My other half had the veal sirloin, but it was a bit too gamey for him. Reservations are highly recommended. Keep in mind that many places in Spain close after lunch and reopen for dinner around 8pm, so make that reservation earlier in the day if you plan on having dinner. The food and service here were wonderful. Well worth a visit. Takes cards and cash.

You would think a place like this would cost a bundle by looks alone. That's not the case so don't judge a book by its cover. We had the half Tabla of Louis Pasteur cheese (€9.50). It came with 6 cheeses. A glass of red wine €2.50!!! Sooo good!!! Please do not hesitate to come here! ---- Este lugar es un paraíso para los amantes del queso!

My kids are both pretty picky, but my younger son is worse and almost never eats anything. He did however eat all his tapas here. We had all sorts of basque tapas, all delicious. I absolutely loved the food and feel they had a tapa for everyone and all palettes. My favorite was a Spanish sausage (I don't believe it was a chorizo) on bread that got brought to my table. Usually you go pick up a pincho and put it on your plate, but similar to a Rodizio they bring things to your table and offer more each tapa is €2.80. I absolutely loved our server, she was very helpful and very nice to us at our table. Finally, I also absolutely loved the locale. It was dark, but the wooden tables and high chairs really set a warm comforting mood and I absolutely loved the lighting.

I wish I could choose what I liked best but everything was placing first. I am an albóndiga person, so to me those were first rate. The service was #1. Rafa, who is one of the owners, was attentive and generous with his portions. The ambiance is quirky chic. Comfortable and warm. I'm including pictures because my words aren't good enough. Thank you for a wonderful València experience. Our last experience before we left was a gift of rice liquor digestive that was out of this world! Never had it before and it was wonderful.
