Paella! Our group of four was so excited to try paella here in Valencia because (1) none of us had…read moreeaten it before, and (2) what better place to try it than at in Valencia, its birthplace? I'm glad to have gotten it out of the way because I don't see myself eating it again for a very long time. It's not that the food was bad, but it's a lot. We shared the seafood paella and the traditional paella. I mostly had the seafood paella but I did try a few bites of the traditional one with rabbit and escargot. The seafood was fresh, and there was a healthy amount of prawns and squid. If you're not really into seafood or can't stand too much of the aroma or essence of seafood, do NOT get it because it is strong. After a while I got sick of the seafood flavor, which isn't a knock on the food, but a lesson that paella simply needs to be complemented with other foods. The traditional paella was quite good as well, and neither had rice that was too burnt (which I liked). I also didn't think the escargot and rabbit were particularly special. Again, portions were tremendous and I think we all left very, very full. Keep in mind that you need at least two people ordering paella in order to get it. It runs at about 18€ per person for any paella, which isn't on the low end, but you do get filled up since it's all rice.

They are served family style which I do particularly enjoy. It is a little expensive but the food is good and it is in a convenient location. There wine selection is also pretty good in my opinion, I do know they have some local options.

We could only get two stools at the bar which might likely have suited a more romantic and younger couple. Despite this setback due to a previous day in-person last minute reservation the food and ambiance was excellent. Must say despite the frantic activity the staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Our shared dishes were Grilled Sardines, Black Sausage (the best we've ever tasted), Cod Croquettes (nothing exceptional), Pimentos de Padron & Salad. The wine by the glass was good bit I'd skip the local region French style overly expensive Sauvignon Blanc and stick to Verdejo or other Spanish wines on offer. This is not a restaurant for a relaxing or a laid back evening. I don't think the servers feet ever touch the ground and the kitchen must be volcanic! Great value and well worth a one-off experience. Our meal €64.35 for 2 and like many tourists was rounded up to $65.00. We might be tempted to return but definitely only to sit at a table.

Es mi parada perfecta después de una buena caminata por la ciudad, donde sé que me espera una copa de cava o una excelente botella de vino y, por supuesto, un filete a la altura de cualquier ocasión especial. He disfrutado aquí tanto con mi hijo como con amistades queridas, y la experiencia siempre supera las expectativas. Desde los entrantes hasta los postres, cada comida es un homenaje al buen gusto y a la hospitalidad. El personal y la dirección son simplemente excepcionales: atentos, cálidos y con ese toque que hace que te sientas como en casa. Superb. Una joya que siempre recomiendo, y a la que siempre volveré.

Seemed that who ever took the over the phone reservation took some liberties when writing the name down. 1) We had several beverages. 2) Place has a cramped old feel and look. 3) Server was not very attentive and extremely forgetful. We ket ordering water and drinks over and over. At least three times or so each of us. Each time it seemed like a combination of these three because he either kept on forgetting, maybe he may not have cared, or was extremely busy. 4) Food was very good, due to this, I recommend it. 5) Had several dishes. All good. Some great. The grilled sweet breads were good. Overall, I recommend you give this place a try.
