I'm pleased to report that at Navarro, our experience was nothing like that; from the moment we arrived we were made to feel like old friends who were long overdue for a return visit. The staff was delightful - completely personable and attentive without in any way being obtrusive. We were seated upstairs and begin our wonderful meal with a warm seafood salad. Next we were served a truly fabulous Lobster paella (simply amazing!). Our server recommended a wonderful Rose wine, which we each enjoyed two glasses of. Our entire dining experience was truly exceptional, and I wouldn't hestiate to recommend this wonderful restaurant!

Service was really good, attentive. We ordered everything to share and we may have ordered a bit too much, but It was all very good. Wanted to try the croquetas since they were homemade. The were good. We ordered the lobster and cheese ones. Liked that the lobster one wasn't fishy. The patatas bravas had a homemade alioli that was really good but it was too much. I'd ask for that on the side next time, but I loved that the potatoes were crispy!! So big score there! The burrata was good, what you'd expect from a burrata. Nothing extraordinary, but we devoured it. The little steak toasts with foie gras were tasty, we ate them so fast we didn't have a chance to take a photo! They were really good with a little apple sauce on the side. The jamón cecina had a strange brownish color on some pieces. We didn't finish it. The mussels were interesting with coconut milk and curry. Wish we had asked for bread to dip in the sauce. The service was good. We got new plates when the pasta ragú came out. We ordered a Valencia wine, which we liked. We'd come again. Make reservations and expect the same outstanding service. Good find!

That totally killed the experience considering the wine was wonderful and the flavors and presentation were upscale. Cold food is just inexcusable. P.S. OMG the desserts are incredible. If I had known I might have skipped the cold food and gone straight to dessert.

A absolute must when in Valencia! Central Bar is located inside the Mercado Central,…read more On Saturday, the market opens at 7:30am, and before Central Bar does at 8am. We arrived early to explore the market and found seats easily when Central Bar opened. But it sure filled up quickly as the tourists began rolling in en masse as we got closer to 9am. The food was amazing. Have the 'Canalla' - a freshly baked white roll with spicy morcilla (blood sausage/black pudding), scrambled eggs and pickled peppers. We also tried the croquettes. You're not rushed and it's lovely to sit and eat as the market bustles around you. I wish we'd had time to return for lunch, but know that if you don't make a reservation, wait times can get up to 90-minutes. Takes cards and cash.

The vibe was nice, not too crowded at the time I went (6/7pm). Cocktails were great! Fun, specialty cocktails created based on the different regions of Spain; but also the classics available on the menu. In typical fashion, servers brought me some little snacks with my drinks, which I enjoyed as I people watched and hung out. Located in a cute area with additional restaurants, bars and points of interest nearby. A must visit when in Valencia.

I'm a single traveler and…read morestruck out on the beach front restaurants since everywhere requires a person to buy paella for two. Walking up and out of the Túria Gardens, I was on the edge of the old city and El Almudįn was only a few blocks away. When I arrived, the 5 sidewalk tables were taken and, peeking inside, I asked whether they might have a table for one. The waitress/hostess smiled a big welcome and immediately placed me at a table set for two. I ordered some water and beer, and settled in to look at the menu. She asked if Alhambra brand was okay and brought out their special reserve. Okay, we're on the right track. As expected, paellas showed a price for one but required a purchase for two. Marga came over, saw me pining over the paella page and with complete magnanimity explained, "It's still early and if you'd like a paella for one, we can make it!" She was twanging on my heartstrings. I ordered the real, the original, and the only authentic Valencian paella. Marga looked at me, like she'd heard this before, and asked if I had either an aversion or allergy to snails? Nope. Bring 'em on! Everything they cook is made at order time and uses fresh ingredients from the Mercado Central next door. It was going to take 30 minutes to prepare the paella so I started with a gazpacho. It was so flavorful and fresh I could have just eaten another three and gone home content. Patience, patience. I had been editing my photos and earlier travel when the paella came up. It was served in the hot paellaera which sat insulated on top of cardboard egg cartons. Marga let me know that Valencianos eat their paella straight from the paellaera. She proceeded to hand me a toothpick which, she said, was for digging out the caracoles (snails) from their shells. Now I'm living!! As I noted the rabbit she quickly said, yes, this is totally traditional; rabbit, chicken and caracoles. While I chowed down on this deliciousness, I also noted the flat broad beans, the fava (fabia) beans, the aromatic saffron and the savory rosemary. Wow. And the best part? Around the entire edge of the paellaera, there was socarrat!! That crunchy but not hard, nearly caramelized rice. OMG!!! In the meantime, I'd asked Marga for a glass of dry white to accompany the meal. With perfect selection, she brought me a Las Dos Ces, white. Forty minutes go by and I'm rubbing my distended belly in perfect contentment. Marga showed up as if on cue, knowing full well I couldn't resist dessert. I ordered the Arnadí, pungent caramel pumpkin pudding cake served with vanilla ice cream with stripings of fruta del bosque. That, along with a café cortado. And of course, Marga steps up with a complimentary shot of Mistela - Valencian sweet wine resembling a strong moscato. What a wonderful and happy ending to my day.
