Every day, the chef at Palao Bistrot selects fresh raw ingredients from the market, creating a menu that reflects the beauty and range of the Valencia garden. My friend and I ate at Palao Bistrot for dinner, and were more than satisfied with our experience. The service was great, as everyone was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant design is contemporary yet inviting, with warm wall colors and tall wood tables that create an intimate atmosphere. We started with the fish of the day - salmon - and shared an order of salmon sashimi, which was sliced just right, getting enough of the raw flavor in each piece. The fish was so fresh, tasting like it was just caught that day. This dish shows how Palao Bistrot stays true to its concept of only using the freshest ingredients. My friend loved her main course of vitello tonnato, which was sliced veal covered in a creamy, mayonnaise-like sauce flavored with tuna. She raved about the sauce, saying the tuna flavor was not overpowering but instead enhanced the taste of the meat. I opted for French duck thigh confit, with potatoes baked with thyme. Expertly seasoned, this dish would make any renown French chef proud. The potatoes were tender and not mushy, and the duck was juicy. We both enjoyed the oven baked crespella with ragu sauce, which was savory and cooked to perfection. Dinner was completed with my first ever bonet, a dessert from the Piedmonte region of Italy, it was chocolatey perfection. I highly recommend Palao Bistrot for anyone looking for a mix of culinary influences. From the service to the atmosphere, we loved everything about the restaurant, especially the delicious food!

A quick google search led us to Angolo Di Vino, just a little outside the street that circles the city center. What a pleasant place to stop and have a bottle of wine. The owner is super-knowledgeable and helped us choose a really nice bottle to sip on. She also gave us some information about the area, which was helpful. She also brought out some small bites for us to nibble on. Highly recommend!

We ended up at Cafe Berlin after dinner at a restaurant nearby. The bar has a very relaxed vibe. It…read morefeels like a place you would hear live jazz or attend. The bar is popular and gets very busy at night so seating can be difficult to find. As a result, even though it was chilly we ended up sitting at a table outside. The menu includes a variety of drink options from wine, beer, cocktails, coffee and tea. The cocktails are much more pricey than the wine and beer. The bar also serves some bar appetizers like nachos and burgers. We only got drinks but the food looked good. We sat and chat while enjoying our beverages until the bar closed outside. There is a mandate that the outdoor seating closes at midnight so everyone has to relocate inside if there is room. This rule is out of respect of the neighbors who live in the area. If you are arriving close to midnight, its best to get a seat inside for this reason. Overall this is a cool local bar. You will enjoy your drinks and conversation with your friends here. The drinks are very affordable overall and good quality.

I can't give a review on food here because I haven't ordered any yet. But what I like most about this place is the atmosphere. It's very comfortable and stylish. Cafe Berlin is always packed of people. Every certain day of the week (I don't remember the exact day) there is a language exchange event. I think it's a very good idea to meet new people and learn new languages while having food and drinks. The service was friendly. The price is average. I would recommend this place for drinks while you're in Ruzafa. It's very easy to access and surrounded by other fun places.
