There are so many restaurants along this strip of beach and we walked up and down looking at the…read moreoptions. There were a couple restaurants that I recognized from a list of best places for paella, but they were all so busy or needed a reservation. We decided on Portolito because it wasn't as busy, the set menu was a reasonable price and had good options. And I'm so glad we chose Portolito. Our waiter was really friendly and attentive. He was the first waiter in Spain who reviewed our order with us to make sure he had it all correct. Instead of their paella, we tried their seafood fideua, and now I would choose fideua over paella right away. The flavour was delicious, and not as salty as I found paellas to be. They gave us good hunks of seafood which were nice and tender. In the set menu, we also had appetizers, so we chose the codfish fritters and baby squid. Both delicious: they were among the top codfish fritters we had; the baby squid was greasy but also why it was so addicting. We had drinks too: I loved their passionfruit mojito, not too minty, and a nice addition of the fruit. My boyfriend had an apple cider, Ladron de Manzanas, which we weren't able to find too often, so he was happy to find they had it here. The interior was nice as well. We were seated inside but next to a window so we had a good view of the beach and a nice breeze occasionally for the hot day.

We were the first ones in but it quickly filled up. The bar is dark (typical of a speakeasy) and the ceiling was peculiar. It looked like a lush riverbank was made. Definitely a sight to see. We got 3 drinks, the Negroni, Sake Sour and the Old Coffee. Each drink had it's own show and backstory. My favorite show was the old coffee. A hat came out and covered the drink. The waiter then put a pipe and blow torched it to give the drink a smokey essence. Very cool! THE FINAL BAMBOO: Highly highly recommend this speakeasy. Overall damage done for 3 drinks was 36 euros. If you're looking for fantastic creativity in each drink, this is the spot.

We were the only ones at the bar til about 6pm, when others trickled in. You must make a reservation for this place! It's small, and fills up quickly. The bar is covered with little trinkets and patterns. My fiance and I spent alot of our time just looking around to see what we could find. The menu is pretty expensive and extensive for a small bar, BUT I think the experience is worth it if you choose one of the cocktails with a snack (cocktail garnish). We ordered the Negroni, Sake Sour, and the Old Coffee. All fantastic drinks and each come with a special story! The Negroni came with a glass filled with ice and a holy book with a flask inside. So cute!! The sake sour was a bathtub drink with a little sponge looking cake. Very yummy. Lastly the Old Coffee was a true show. The bartender came with a hat placed over the drink and a pipe coming out of hit. The bartender lit the pipe and hat began to smoke! Once you lift the hat, smoked filled the air and you have yourself and VERY tasty drink. Overall, I think Apotheke is a worth while visit. Especially as the first speakeasy in Valencia!

The picture showed lobster, octopus, shrimp, Squared, clams. It looked plentiful and delightful. When we got to the restaurant later in the evening, we ordered the platter and when it arrived, it was nothing like the photo. Much less food on the platter also did not include octopus lobster. We ended up having to order an extra plate of food because it was not enough on the platter. There was no dipping sauce, that was also shown on the photo, and we asked about it. He said it was not available. Bottom line, the food was good, but it was also very deceptive.
