The staff is fast and efficient, maybe not the friendliest but we are not fluent enough in Spanish to have an in depth conversation. We started with Tempura fried eggplant with honey. Crispy, hot and delicious and definitely worth a try. The spicy Ruzafa Paella was a first for us. Very unique and cooked to perfection.

Part of my Spanish tour included a one night stay in Valencia. Luckily our hotel was close to some…read morerestaurants and we came across this paella restaurant that our tour guide suggested as previous guests enjoyed the food. The paella is served in 2 person portions since we were 3 we had to order either 1 pan or 2 pans. We ended up getting 2 pans. The food did take alot of time to prepare as they are made fresh to order. We order black squid ink paella and the seafood paella. The black paella was really good and taste was on point. The seafood paella was too salty and we had to drink alot of water after our meal. We did encounter an issue with our order they brought some croquettes and hot peppers to our table. We did not order them and asked them to take it away. Overall the meal was good but if I had a chance to redo it I should have tried the duck paella or the Valencia paella (rabbit and chicken). Thank you for the memorable meal and we were able to dine on the heated patio with some fellow guests on our tour.

Dulce de leche is definitely a very popular choice for the right reasons. We visited a little later…read morein the day(around 1ish) and there was still plenty of pastries, cakes, and savory dishes. While the line took a while to advance, once you placed an order your food was quickly ready. The strawberry smoothie was so delicious, not overly sweet but not too tart, it was just right. The cinnamon roll was perfect, nice and fluffy with a slight crunch but it was just right. Croissant looked extremely delicious- I mean all of their pastries looked divine and honestly not overly priced. Their orange juice was also very tasty. The vibes of the place are super cute, with seating available inside and outside. This is going to be one of the places I miss the most in Spain

Highly recommend the Dulce de Leche location in Ruzafa for brunch (DDL Boutique). They have a huge…read moreselection of pastries, sandwiches, and brunch items. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and the cafe inside is very welcoming. Tip: Tables are assigned when you order at the counter, and the queue moves quickly. So don't feel the need to grab a table when other customers leave. Recommendation: Order the Brunch Special. Includes coffee, orange juice, Brioche breakfast sandwich, mini croissant, and yogurt.

Este es un buen lugar hasta que este italiano está trabajando. Se quejaba de lo cansado que estaba…read more Probablemente tenía resaca. Fue extremadamente grosero conmigo y se negó a servirme una cerveza en un vaso de pinta adecuado. Me la sirvió en un vasito de papel. Intenté explicarle que me sentaría y posiblemente comería una pizza para que me la sirvieran en un vaso adecuado. Fue extremadamente grosero y me dijo que no. El vaso de papel era la mitad del tamaño de un vaso de pinta y se lo expliqué a una camarera. Ella fue amable e intentó hablar con él, pero él también fue grosero con ella. Este lugar necesita deshacerse del personal que trata mal a la gente. Después de eso, me estaba gritando delante de todos, así que le dije que me diera mi dinero y que me iría a tomar una cerveza de verdad a otro sitio. Tiró mi dinero contra el mostrador y se puso extremadamente feo. Que la gente, incluidos los empleados, vean que este tipo de comportamiento es aceptado no es una buena imagen para el negocio ni para los clientes. Realmente me enfadé, así que le saqué una foto. Luego intentó quitarme el teléfono de las manos y me agredió físicamente. Eso no vale ni una cerveza. La gerencia debería despedirlo. This was a nice place until this italian guy was working. he was complaining of how tired he was. probably was hungover. he was extremely rude to me and refused to serve me a beer in a proper pint glass. he served me in a small paper cup. i tried to explain i would sit down and possibly eat a pizza to be served in a proper glass. he was extremely rude and told me no. the paper cup was half the size of a pint glass and i explained this to a waitress. she was nice and tried to talk to him but he was rude to her to. this place needs to get rid of staff that treat people badly. after that he was yelling at me in front of everyone so i told him well give me my money and ill go get a proper beer elsewhere. he slammed my money on the counter and was being extremely ugly. for people including staff members to see that this kind of behavior is accepted is not a good look for the business or customers. he really made me angry so i took a photo of him. he then tried to grab my phone out of my hands getting physical with me. in no way is all that worth one beer. management should fire him.

The pizza concept at La Finestra is interesting; you order a number of pizettes, and they are…read moreprepared and served with random toppings. While you can't choose anything in particular, you can rule out toppings if you detest something or have a food allergy. I went here recently with a two friends, and ordered six pizettes to share. All of them were surprisingly good, and it was fun not knowing quite what was on each one until we bit in. However, there didn't turn out to be quite as much variety as we expected - all the toppings were mostly variations on different cheeses, with some hame and salami thrown in. There was nothing particularly unique or exciting, which might have been a good thing ;-) All told, this is a fun place to eat with friends; I'm sure I'll be back!

From the minute we sat down, the service was friendly and flawless! Our waitress not only made us feel welcome, but she made worked tirelessly to both answer our questions and to translate the menu for us. When our food came, everything was simply wonderful and delicious! My friend ordered a pasta dish, and I went with a pizza; we ended up sharing both, enjoying them immensely, and leaving the restaurant completely full due to the very generous portion sizes. Tip: It's a very nice touch that you can see the pizzas being made from the outside through the front window :-) The restaurant is situated in a great spot, with lots interesting bars that are very close by. Highly recommended!

I had a half-size cheese and meat platter that was freshly prepared and served quickly. A local IPA recommended was a perfect accompaniment. I had to follow up with the smoked sardine tostas- simple yet divine! The sardines were plump and juicy, subtly smoky. Unfortunately these smoky little fish are bought from a fishmonger - nothing I can take back home with me. Afterwards they were happy to suggest some off the tourist track sights to see.

Fishmonger setting, great for couples or small groups. This place seemed better as a transit stop rather than a place to spend the evening.

Washed down with a glass of house vinho verde. All up I spent €6 and loved it all.
