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.

We had the bravas, cod croquetas, prawns in garlic and chorizo. All very tasty but nothing spectacular. A bottle of approachable, easy-drinking red wine and you're good to go. Owner/wait staff was friendly and helpful despite our broken Spanish. A nice place but not worth going out of your way for.

I think with a false pretense that this is a Ricardio camanaarea , "michelen" cook restaurant run by who ever runs it makes it seem better than what it is. Just average at best. Burgers came out raw (hope we dont get sick) food came out cold, salmon cone was so fishy, pad tai was edible, pork ribs lacked flavor . In general came with such high expectations so many other options in valencia for 250 euros we spent.

The service was phenomenal. Super welcoming to visitors and wanted to take the time to inform us on everything being served. Food was delicious! Everything was included in the price per person.

When in Valencia, the birthplace of paella, one must go to the BEST place to taste it for real…read more Right? Sure, there are hundreds of places offering "original" paella and many tourists fall for those glitzy pictures on the sidewalk signs. But not me. I asked a lifetime resident, a food aficionado, a trusted source for his favorite. He was quick with a response and didn't even have to think about it. Casa Cesar. Situated back from the sea front away from those "in your face" restaurants capitalizing on proximity to the beach with high visibility, you really need to look hard to find this place. Even the taxi driver drove by it twice! But you need to find it. It's ridiculous. Greeted by the owner (?) who gave every single table attention and an explanation of how this meal works. No menu. Fixed price. 3 appetizers (unreal - and oh my, those cockles?), unlimited wine and beer, seafood paella featuring fresh that day fish, shrimp and assorted seafood, dessert, and a choice of after dinner drink. Everything was remarkable but that paella? OMG! Cooked slowly to order, the flavors were full and divine. The crispy black edges of the rice were exactly as they should be. I've had paella in many places in Spain but this? Best ever? Yes indeed. Best ever. Service was friendly, atmosphere delightful, value incredible. Yep. Pricing was €28 per person. Go ahead. Re-read what you get for that. But you know, I would have gladly paid twice that and been happy. Wow. I'm still dreaming of this meal.

We came back Spring 2024 and stopped here for dinner right after we landed in Valencia. Missed this place so much and the warm service and smiles we received (more than usual) made us fall in love with this restaurant even more. We will be back again before our week concludes in Valencia. It's a staple. We had: Grilled vegetables Homemade Anchovies Galician style octopus with potatoes Entrecôte aged steak with peppers and potatoes The food came fast and hot and love the ambience inside or out, where lots of singers and musicians often play to get some small tips from the patrons.

We ordered the octopus, patatas bravas and the grilled vegetables and would order all of them again on a second visit, however we were told the calamari was another of their specialties. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated, but the food came quickly once we ordered. I recommend sitting outside where there is a better ambiance.
