The service was unsatisfactory, and the staff member assisting us appeared to be in a poor mood. Additionally, obtaining basic items such as a glass required considerable effort. Overall, the establishment did not distinguish itself in any notable way, and there are better alternatives available. Definitely expensive. La comida estuvo decente, pero se equivocaron con mi pedido. Pedí cordero y me trajeron pollo. El servicio fue pésimo. El chico que nos atendió parecía estar de muy mal humor. Hasta para conseguir un vaso había que andar buscando a alguien. En general, este lugar no tiene nada de espectacular. Hay opciones mucho mejores.

The place was very clean and the servers were quick to greet us. We ordered a mix of items...samosa, chix tandoori, tikka masala, jasmine rice, a variety of chutneys and butter naan.

How do you write about perfection without sounding like you were bribed to do so? Really I was not…read more I am just a loyal customer that loves to rave about AMAZING VEGAN FOOD. And above all, I love to rave about the most wonderful owner Tiago!! My husband and I moved from California to Valencia a few months ago. Walking by ALOHA (location 1 here. Now he opened location 2 next to Mercat Central), I stopped in and Tiago greeted me like a long lost friend. The most welcoming greeting that cemented my feelings that I had arrived "home"! Being a VEGAN place made his greeting GOLDEN! Now we are weekly customers for his "burgers", chips, nuggets, and the most yummy acai bowls. Oh and you must try the carrot cake. OMG, to have a vegan desert like this is heavenly! Both locations are run with perfection precision. And always with a smile. Great quality for a very fair price. Do your best hula dance and work your way over to ALOHA. You will be hooked instantly and you will thank me for telling you to go there...daily!!

While walking through beautiful Valencia's street, I came across this small Vegan eatery. Although…read moreI was not hungry, I could not help myself from trying something from the menu. I tried the Keiki Nuggets, which are like a chicken nuggets made of tofu, and they were divine! The best I ever had, and far better from real chicken nuggets which I used to have in my pre-Vegan days; They were crispy and freshly made, and were served with the sauce of your choice (I actually though they were great as they are, no sauce is needed). Must try if you are lucky to live in this city or visit there...

One of the great vegetarian restaurants of the world…read more Prices are not high. Two people had a meal to remember forever for 42 Euros. But this was Haute Vegetarian Cuisine suitable for Michelin stars. * * * The menus change frequently - and there is not a lot of choice on the menu. You get what the cook is cooking today and that's the beginning and the end of it. But the beginning and the end of it here - is the Alpha and Omega of great cooking. * * * So what did we have? 1) A cauliflower and carrot soup that will make you adore cauliflower. The cauliflower served to me as a child was unspeakably awful. It may not have counted as child abuse. It certainly counted as cauliflower abuse. At Les Maduixes, they serve the Cauliflower of Cauliflower dreams. Eat one bowl of Cauliflower Soup out of the Golden Cauliflower bowl And be guaranteed happiness and golden treasure forever. 2) A pique-boca of homemade hummus served in an endive leaf with two colors of sesame seed and an alt pesto. My mouth was piqued, oh yes, oh yes. I have no idea where they get their endive ... But that was the Cary Grant of endive. 3) Vegetable croquettes minimally sauced. Vegetable croquettes are usually heavy vegetable lumps in the hands of the wrong vegan cook. These were clouds of fluffy wonderfulness. 4) A veggie lasagna with soy yogurt as the "cheese" part of the filling. Yogurt totally totally belongs on lasagna. It makes it a light refreshing and lively dish. Why eat Grandma's lasagna bomb, and then be capable of doing nothing after lunch except watching football ... When you can have a sprightly lasagna with yogurt, And do handstands between the main course and dessert? 5) A quiche with soy mascarone. Mascarone makes everything wonderful - never mind the source of the milk. 6) A zero sweet chocolate pie. Time to renew your relationship with unsweetened baking chocolate. This was Heathcliff, the brooding lord of the haunted manor next door, sweeping you away to the moors in the rain for the lovemaking that only a dark poet can provide. There was a long time between every forkful. My eyes never opened. 7) A "carrot cake" that was made of carrot, just like the server said, but for all intents and purposes was a lemon creme cake. You have never had a lighter carrot cake in your life. 8) A vegan strawberry sorbet - but lots of people make vegan strawberry sorbets. A dish that happily brought us back to earth after we had spent lunchtime in our Magic Galleon Sailing the Seas of Dreams. * * * So how is Les Maduixes? It's okay. * * * So is Utopia.

I must first qualify that I am not a vegetarian, and while preferring meat of some sort with my…read moremeals, I do appreciate good vegetarian cooking. Les Maduixes is a very cozy restaurant, with a nice ambiance. I thought the service was excellent. Regarding the food, for starters I had the Crema de boniato, zanahoria, which was quite nice. For the main I had wholemeal noodles with tomatoes, eggplant and goat cheese, and for desert the carrot cake. The noodle dish was good, but I guess I was expecting something I would classify as 'really good'. As my wife is a fan of vegetarian food, and because it is so close to our flat, I am sure we will give Les Maduixes another go in the near future. I hope to be more impressed on the next visit.

A Food Tour Guide advised to eat restaurant Paella for lunch. If it is served for dinner, more…read morethan likely it isn't fresh. This all made sense as the highly rated and reputable Paella restaurants were open from 1-4:00 or so. One thing for sure make your reservations before you get to Valencia. We were lucky and got a table at 3 a day before. Smaller/cozy spot and looked like they had a 2nd level. We started with a Sangria and a Majou. For appetizers, it was the recommended Gambas with Chili Aoili-exquisite -I was really concerned that we couldn't get any better after this. The Bread with Aoli and olives was also tasty. Paella Valenciana (with Rabbit/Chicken) is the authentic one and has to be ordered a day in advance. We ended up ordering the Seafood (de Marisco) Paella which can be ordered same day. Filled with all types of seafood-delicious! Table next to us ordered the one with Lobster which looked like a winner also. Service was excellent! With the two sisters who were Owners helping with our table. They've been around since 1951. Would highly recommend!

Lovely vegetarian restaurant…read more Fresh ingredients - Notably on lettuce and tomatoes which can be much abused in other establishments. Artistically decorated interior. The room is like eating in a Tarot Card. Not necessarily "The Moon" in a Tarot deck.

We really enjoyed dinner at la Lluna. Based on past suggestions my wife and I ordered the fixed…read moremenu dinner for a little less than 20 Euros each. This included one drink, 7-8 course, large desert plate, and coffee. Really this was way more than we could eat, but we did our best. The highlights was the salad course and some really interesting leak soup. There was also some really wonderful cheese and jam with bread. One of the courses was some sort of loaf that was nutty but I was unclear what it was. Not my favorite but it was interesting. Next time we are in Valencia we will definitely come back. The restaurant is a bit off the main path of most visitors. We were there on a Monday night (and a bit early for dinner, 9pm) and had the place to ourself for about an hour. It would be hard to go wrong at this place and I will recommend it to any of my friends who are in the area.

We were recommended…read moreto come here from a local that told us to skip on the tourist traps and to go to Sagardi in Valencia where we can have authentic Spanish cuisine. So we went there and had tapas and sangrias. The fresh tapas come out like every 5-6 minutes the servers will walk the fresh plate to every table and put what ever was left on the bar counter where the other tapas are. So pretty much you sit where you want or ask a server to be polite, then you sit order drinks and if you want the tapas from the bar - they are self serve or as I mentioned the fresh from the kitchen warm tapas will come from the kitchen and a server will come to your table and offer them. You will be charged by how many food picks or spoons are on your table and that's it. It's super easy and quick. Our parties favorites were the burger tapa, the croquetas, and the chorizo tapa. Personally I also really enjoyed the sausage tapa, pizza tapa and the anchovies tapa. Ask the waiter behind the counter for any recommendations. The bacon wrapped croqueta tapa was delicious too I didn't take a photo because I immediately ate it!! They have clean rest rooms. The only thing is the door to get to the restrooms is a little heavy so if you are with elderly or have a disability ask a server to help you. Other than that good music played, and it was a cool environment. Enjoy!

As an upscale restaurant I must admit the food and the service as well as the atmosphere was well…read moreabove par. The staff really couldn't have been more professional. But also being somewhat upscale they were a little more formal than obviously a casual place. Once seated we were told we had 2 hours to finish our meal which is a very long time for just two Americans eating. The only issue I have is that our food arrived amazingly fast I mean like maybe under 5 minutes post ordering. After that the staff kept coming by asking if they could clear my plate because I eat quite a bit faster than my companion, my wife. They asked me two to three maybe even four times if they could clear my plate which really was unwelcome since we had 2 hours to finish our meal. As I stated earlier the food was really really good if you check out my photos the atmosphere was really nice. I am an architect and can really appreciate nice design and configurations. I would gladly go back and run to recommend this place I do know my wife stated the same issue I outline regarding being rushed and they said that they would adjust it. I would gladly revisit the establishment and when we return back to the Valencia I plan on going there once again. I highly recommend it especially the steak that was very well cooked perfect for our desire which was rare.

Creative tapas and attentive service at this modern-style tapas place in central Valencia!…read more Very nicely priced wines and a lovely courtyard for outdoor seating. We enjoyed the ambiance here quite a bit. All food we ordered had huge portions, and we liked the fact that their patatas bravas had large baked potato pieces rather than tiny deep-fried ones However, their jamon was quite gross. It was the fattiest and saltiest I've had in some time and I couldn't finish it - we hate to throw away meat so we saved it for stray dogs

A tourist restaurant in the Old City…read more There are worse tourist traps in the Old City - Ones that pretend to sell you "real" Valencian paella. Bar and Kitchen's alt approach is to look modern and cool. That said, modern or not The cooking is tasteless. If you are a worrier, You will be terrified when you eat at Bar and Kitchen and don't taste anything. You will think you have lost your sense of taste and smell and You must have COVID. Don't worry. You don't have COVID. All the taste and smell will come back when you find one of Valencia's good places. Start by eating somewhere more than half a mile from the Mercat Central. Watch what happens to your tastebuds once you leave the tourist traps behind.
