We have been traveling around Spain for the last week and for all the inviting, delicious places we…read morehave experienced, this one tops them all!! From the welcoming environment, to the amazing food (if you like Oxtail, you are in for a treat) there is no other place to come for a home cooked Spanish meal. As an English speaking customer I could not recommend this establishment high enough! Shots at the bar on a Tuesday night with one of the owners was a real highlight of our trip.

My wife and I arrived late on a Sunday evening in Valencia and we went out for a walk looking for a recommended restaurant. We located the restaurant we initially sought, however, it was closed. As we walked back towards our hotel, my wife noticed an open tapas bar which appeared to have locals going in. We thought we'd try our luck as we were hungry. What a wonderful treat we experienced at La Bodequita. We had an amazing meal of "botonets" (lamb), "patatas pobres" (potatoes, Spanish ham and egg) and a refreshing salad downed with a nice gin and tonic and a "tinto de verrano" (a light and summer version of sangria). Nacho, the owner, and his team were simply marvelous hosts and were passionate about their food and sharing it with people. Highly recommended.

We settled on the alcachofas con jamón y crema de verdura (exceptional) and for the main course my husband got the solomillo special and I got the bacalao. All perfectly cooked and seasoned.

First, the neighbourhood is great, if the weather is good definitely try to get a table outside underneath the trees. Secondly, the service was amazing. We asked for a table outside that was not available when we arrived (without a reservation - although the place does take reservation), but we were moved to one 10 minutes later. I really appreciated that, as we were probably the only non-Spanish speaking customers. Which brings me to my third point - the place screams authenticity. The staff, the decoration, even the chairs and the cutlery give our this non-pretentious authentic feeling that I'm guessing you're looking for in a Spanish tavern. Lastly, the food. I like everything. We had 4 different dishes that really went well with our beer. The place offers some nice desserts too although we didn't try in. 4 dishes and 5 beers later, we received a bill for 38.5 euros. Not bad.
