This one finally made a juicy nice Safran tasting rice at a reasonable price point. The taste was great, we just prefer rice over noodles. So we'd skip the noodle and go with the lobster soupy rice next time. It's worth a visit and was actually recommended by someone local!

Very delicious food. We ordered grilled cuttlefish, fried goat cheese and lamb chop. They put care…read morein the food and the dish all had interesting taste. I will recommend to try it out if you are in Valencia.

Wow. Rudy recommended 'something special, that will make us remember Trafalgar for the rest of our…read morelives' and we did it. All the veggies and meats a la plancha. It was incredible. The sangria (our only sangria in our whole trip to Spain because 'I'm no tourist") was great. But honestly it was the service and hospitality we received that made the biggest impression. Rudy and his family were so kind and fun. It made our whole trip to Valencia worth it. Go here. The food is SO FREAKING delicious and the friendship was valuable!

Delicious Italian food with a Spanish flair can be found in this tiny Ruzafa spot (you definitely…read moreneed reservations). With an open kitchen concept and only seven or so tables, you really feel that you're being cooked authentic, tasty food only for you. We did the tasting menu and had three delicious main dish pastas along side perfectly chilled wine, and tapa style accoutrements. Everything was served on unique dishes or straight from the stove pans, definitely a unique experience. Bonus: la cuenta came in the cutest little mini shopping cart!

My last meal in Valencia was sadly this one. Sadly because I wish I had discovered them earlier so…read moreI could have visited them every other day. The pasta was incredible! It was by far the best pasta I had in Valencia, and also in most other cities I have visited IN THE WORLD. I wish I had been hungrier and could have ordered the tasting menu, which is really worth it considering how many dishes you get to try, but I knew I didn't want to waste precious stomach space on appetizers and just wanted to fill my tummy with pasta. I was torn between the spaghetto chitarra, the taglioni tartufo, and the pappardelle with mushrooms (porcini), but I decided on the spaghetto since the pictures of this pasta was what had drawn me to this restaurant in the first place. This place is also the second place I have ever gone to that offers this type of pasta (it is nothing like your typical spaghetti so flush that from your mind). It really reminds me of a type of Asian egg noodle, especially the texture, and is really delicious and chewy. I'm so sad I am now at the airport about to fly away from this restaurant. Sad times.

Atenea is a local coffee shop/bar/pizza spot. I stumbled upon it wandering around the city. It had…read morea mix of patrons at night... people working on their laptops, families dining, and a couple of tourists (that was me!) showing my remarkable ability to forget every word in Spanish. The service was fantastic. The man working there was very nice. Despite his (unnecessary) apologies for about his English skills, he got us everything we wanted and kindly. I saw that he was great with other customers, including kids, too. He gave the place a great vibe. The food was pretty solid, too. The pizza was tasty and had a perfect crust. They had several beers on tap. And the after dinner coffee wasn't bad, either. And, at least compared to the places closer to tourist havens, the prices were pretty reasonable. I left pretty happy that Atenea was the place I happened upon when I was getting hungry. It seems like a great place for a lot.

But once you get upstairs, you'll see people wearing shorts and caps, which makes the dress code seem a little inconsistent. If you don't have a table reservation, they'll still let you go up for a drink, but they charge $10 per person. They first served us a warm, flat glass of cava, so I ended up ordering a bottle just to make sure the cava itself wasn't actually that bad. Once you're inside, though, the service is good and the food is enjoyable.
