Central restaurant with a varied menu & breakfast |
San Vicente Mártir, 35 Valencia 46001 Spain +34 96 394 1035 |
A very European name for this central coffee shop and restaurant located close to the train station and the bullring. Its specialities include sandwiches, tapas and combo platters, but for those who want something a bit sturdier, they also offer an à la carte menu and a special set menu at the weekends. The decor is classic and has paid careful attention to the details. Prices are quite reasonable in spite of its central location. It's a good place for a break or to start your tour of Valencia. It gets quite busy at midday and weekends, so you'd better book in advance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Just a five minute-walk from the centre, this is a popular bar. It's divided into two different parts: at the entrance, it's a tapas bar, where you can choose from a wide variety of beers and order some of the tapas they serve, such as fried baby squid, cuttlefish, Spanish omelette, Spanish spicy chorizo sausage and more. The decor is rustic in style, with huge beer barrels as tables. In addition to the variety of food, there is a good mix of music, ranging from flamenco to African beats, jazz and reggae, too. At the back, there is a traditional restaurant serving Spanish dishes. They have an excellent wine list, as well, among which the Via Aurelia stands out. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Typical Basque restaurant |
Convento Santa Clara, 9 Valencia 46001 Spain +34 96 351 6743 |
In the centre of Mediterranean and sunny Valencia, this Basque tavern stands out, bringing all the style and taste of the far north, to remind us of the great variety and contrasts that exist within the Spanish territory. If its classic, typical and a bit rustic decoration recreates the Basque atmosphere, its exquisite menu represents the best of northern cuisine, in which fish dishes and its speciality, bacalao al pil-pil (delicious codfish recipe) stand out. They offer a late breakfast menu and a fantastic daily menu, making this restaurant the paradise for fish and Basque cuisine lovers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Former island of the L'Albufera |
Autovia Sue de Valenci Valencia 46012 Spain +34 96 162 0066 |
El Palmar, which was an island in L'Albufera natural reserve until the lagoon was partially dried in the mid-Forties, is a must for those looking for the most beautiful scenery south of Valencia. You can also enjoy local cuisine here: all i pebre de anguilas (baby eels with garlic and pepper) and espardenyà. The scenic route runs between Dehesa Forest and the lake, crossing fields and palisades covered with rosebays. The fishing community, the annual lottery for fishing privileges (redolín), and the pilgrimage to Cristo de la Salut (Christ of Good Health) celebrated in the lluent (center of the lake), are traditions that live on, as if taken straight from one of Sorolla's costumbrista paintings.

Mediterranean restaurant on the beach |
Paseo Neptuno, 58 Valencia 46011 Spain +34 96 355 6648 http://www.samaruch.com |
To be on the Mediterranean coast without visiting its beaches is unforgivable. And so it is, once you are here, not to sit down close to the sea and taste the best it has to offer us, such as the top quality fish and seafood that this restaurant situated on Las Arenas beach has on offer. This is the main beach in the city, with a wide range of touristy and fun things to do. Samaruch has been redecorated and modernized to offer its clientel the best quality, both in its specialties (rice, meats and fish) and the relaxed atmosphere that they have created. Prices are great, and the sea and surroundings do the rest. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Restaurant near universitary |
Blasco Ibáñez, 29 Valencia 46010 Spain |
You'll find this fantastic restaurant in the most modern area of the city and just opposite the main university. It is very-well known by professionals and students alike, plus it has the added benefit of an open air terrace for dining outdoors when weather permits. On the menu, it serves a great variety of all kind of dishes, but features excellent Valencian cuisine: Giant prawns with ham, home made broth, various rice dishes, fresh fish...and to round off your meal, try one of the restaurant's delicious and exclusive desserts. From the wine menu, a good white wine is recommended. Prices will depend on the dish, without ever being too high, and both the quality and atmosphere have never disappointed anybody. If you come, you will see why it is so popular. Review © 2007, Wcities |
