 Local bar with good food |
En Llop, 3 Valencia 46002 Spain +34 96 351 7057 |
This bar was founded in 1932 and bit by bit has gained a good reputation and regular clientele. The decoration and the atmosphere are that of a typical neighborhood bar, nothing fancy and few frills. The clients who come to this bar are generally businessmen and workers who work close by. This bar is known for its cold meat and Spanish tortilla (potato omelette) sandwiches, while it has a good assortment of "tapas", such as grilled kidney and breaded and fried cuttlefish.

Fresh Mussels as a Tapa |

A long-established traditional tapas bar that has been serving tasty snacks and drinks in the heart of the old town since 1918. Try the famous freshly-steamed mussels, the broad beans cooked with mint or the potato salad. These are best accompanied by a house wine or Valencian vermouth. Popularly and affectionately known as La Pilarica, it fills up quickly during the weekends and you can't book in advance. The decor is old-fashioned and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

Traditional bar with good cocktails and tapas |
Salvá, 1 Valencia 46002 Spain +34 96 352 1010 |
This bar was in vogue in the 50s and 60s, and it still has that same, almost "rancid" ambiance, especially with its English-esque decor. The clientèle is generally fairly mixed, although an older crowd tends to be the norm. A recommended dish is rice with Swiss chard, and as for tapas, bacalao con alioli (codfish with garlic mayonnaise). If you're thirsty, try the house wine or, especially, one of their cocktails.

Spanish restaurant, lots of tapas |
Gascó Oliag, 8 Valencia 46010 Spain |
If you know something about Spain, you have probably heard about tapas, a typical way to eat that is both healthy and fun. Damy offers you a huge selection of them; particularly outstanding are the ham and seafood tapas. This restaurant/bar is a fantastic place to chill out and have a good time in one of the best areas of Valencia. It's a warm and lively sort of place, very popular with a youngish crowd (maybe because it's open so late). It is a good option to enjoy a good meal and have a nice time. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Good food and nice decor |
Jorge Juan, 28 Valencia 46004 Spain +34 96 394 1758 |
The Gran Taberna is decorated with an ornate automobile and railroad theme. The clientele is varied but all of them have one thing in common: they come for the house specialty, the meat. It also does offer a wide variety of fish dishes. They offer two menus when they prepare their delicious cocido madrileno chickpea, ham and chicken stew. All of this can be washed down with a house wine. To finish off a good meal this tavern offers some amazing desserts, most notably the chocolate covered fruits. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Mallorca a little bit closer |
Conde de Almodóvar, 4 Valencia 46003 Spain +34 96 391 2177 |
S´horabaixa is found in the center of Valencia next to the Plaza de la Virgen. This cosy and casual restaurant will take you a little bit closer to the island of Mallorca with its colorful and seafaring decor, as well as its food. Here you can savor a wide variety of salads and "pa amb oli" (slices of country bread smeared with tomato and olive oil), along with smoked meats, pork sausage and Mallorcan cheese. It is also worth trying the quality wines from the island. On the weekends they offer typical hot dishes such as "tumbet" (a vegetable medley). Review © 2007, Wcities |
