    The waiter we had on our visit (May 7) belongs in some very high end, Michelin-starred, black-tie…read morekind of place. He had all the little touches down, fixing the window so it let air in but didn't blow wind through our food and napkins, peering at our progress so he could time each course to come out just as we were finishing the previous one, effortlessly reciting ingredients in his second language, even switching languages smoothly from using Spanish with me to using English with my dad. As wonderful as he was, he was only the cherry on top of probably the best dining experience I had on this trip to Spain. For a mere 17 euro each, we were served an overflowing plate of salad, a circle of plump red shrimp boiled to perfection, a platter of fried baby calamari, a huge frying pan of fideua with langoustines and more shrimp, and cheesecake and coconut flan for dessert. Of course, there was no way we were finishing all of that (the platter of baby calamari, though light with bodies full of oceany juice, was the main culprit filling our bellies) so we ate our leftover fideua for dinner. The fideua was nice and blackened on the bottom of the pan and the langoustine I had was extremely sweet and fresh (my dad said his wasn't as good, but I can't confirm!). What more can you ask for from a drive-by find after the restaurant you researched was closed for renovations?

    Our first day in Valencia and I found this place here on Yelp. Was a little worried since the last…read morereview was from 5 years ago but they are still here and we have to say it was AMAZING! The service was phenomenal. Super welcoming to visitors and wanted to take the time to inform us on everything being served. Food was delicious! Everything was included in the price per person. For 35 euros per person you get three starters, drinks, Paella, and dessert. One of the best experiences on our trip so far!

    When in Valencia, the birthplace of paella, one must go to the BEST place to taste it for real…read more Right? Sure, there are hundreds of places offering "original" paella and many tourists fall for those glitzy pictures on the sidewalk signs. But not me. I asked a lifetime resident, a food aficionado, a trusted source for his favorite. He was quick with a response and didn't even have to think about it. Casa Cesar. Situated back from the sea front away from those "in your face" restaurants capitalizing on proximity to the beach with high visibility, you really need to look hard to find this place. Even the taxi driver drove by it twice! But you need to find it. It's ridiculous. Greeted by the owner (?) who gave every single table attention and an explanation of how this meal works. No menu. Fixed price. 3 appetizers (unreal - and oh my, those cockles?), unlimited wine and beer, seafood paella featuring fresh that day fish, shrimp and assorted seafood, dessert, and a choice of after dinner drink. Everything was remarkable but that paella? OMG! Cooked slowly to order, the flavors were full and divine. The crispy black edges of the rice were exactly as they should be. I've had paella in many places in Spain but this? Best ever? Yes indeed. Best ever. Service was friendly, atmosphere delightful, value incredible. Yep. Pricing was €28 per person. Go ahead. Re-read what you get for that. But you know, I would have gladly paid twice that and been happy. Wow. I'm still dreaming of this meal.
