We visited this restaurant whilst we we were on holiday in the nearby village of La Drova. There…read morewere four of us and we went for an evening meal, the welcome was friendly, they coped with our dreadful Spanish and the menu was in Spanish, French, German and English so there was little chance of a mistake. The restaurant was very quiet - we were the only people there (it was 8.45pm) although there were a few people in the bar attached. No one else had appeared when we left an hour and a half later. We had a salad to start and paella as our main meal. The salad was OK but appeared to be all the ingredients left in the kitchen thrown together with a rather anonymous dressing. The paella was very good, not too salty but packed full of flavour. The top had been grilled to give the shell fish a really good taste. There was plenty for all of us and we really enjoyed the experience. I wouldn't give any more stars because the atmosphere was so flat and the salad was not brilliant. We probably would only go again if we knew when the restaurant was busy as the whole eating out experience depends on the right atmosphere. But don't let me put you off - try it yourself when you are passing and see what you think!

Wow. Rudy recommended 'something special, that will make us remember Trafalgar for the rest of our…read morelives' and we did it. All the veggies and meats a la plancha. It was incredible. The sangria (our only sangria in our whole trip to Spain because 'I'm no tourist") was great. But honestly it was the service and hospitality we received that made the biggest impression. Rudy and his family were so kind and fun. It made our whole trip to Valencia worth it. Go here. The food is SO FREAKING delicious and the friendship was valuable!

I didn't eat at the location so I can't give them a full five stars, but will say that it can be…read moredifficult to find a place in Spain (let alone Valencia) that serves paella for one person (many have a two person minimum). After venturing to a couple of other restaurants, I was referred to La Valenciana by one of the restaurants as a place where I could possibly get a single order of paella. I went into this location of La Valenciana but they informed me they could only do paella for a minimum of two people; however, they were kind enough to call their other location to see if that location could do it for one person which they said they could. So I was given a business card which included directions on how to get to their other location which wasn't far away. Customer service plus! The other location (Caballeros, 21. 46001) was just as lovely. I was warmly greeted. In fact, they expected me and showed me to my seat right away! Oh, yeees with the special treatment. Ha! Anyways, I thought of ordering the vegetable paella but went with the seafood paella to get a more traditional taste. It did not disappoint! Check out the photos and you'll see EXACTLY what I mean. Delicious! (I imagine the locations are consistent in both service and taste.)

Paella! Our group of four was so excited to try paella here in Valencia because (1) none of us had…read moreeaten it before, and (2) what better place to try it than at in Valencia, its birthplace? I'm glad to have gotten it out of the way because I don't see myself eating it again for a very long time. It's not that the food was bad, but it's a lot. We shared the seafood paella and the traditional paella. I mostly had the seafood paella but I did try a few bites of the traditional one with rabbit and escargot. The seafood was fresh, and there was a healthy amount of prawns and squid. If you're not really into seafood or can't stand too much of the aroma or essence of seafood, do NOT get it because it is strong. After a while I got sick of the seafood flavor, which isn't a knock on the food, but a lesson that paella simply needs to be complemented with other foods. The traditional paella was quite good as well, and neither had rice that was too burnt (which I liked). I also didn't think the escargot and rabbit were particularly special. Again, portions were tremendous and I think we all left very, very full. Keep in mind that you need at least two people ordering paella in order to get it. It runs at about 18€ per person for any paella, which isn't on the low end, but you do get filled up since it's all rice.

We were absolutely blown away! Although on a road trip just passing through town on our way to…read moreBarcelona we actually made an extra trip to come back one more time. We are more on the vegetarian side of things, while still eating fish, and they we very accommodating and helpful. So far it is the best meal we've had in Spain. We did the fixed price dinner menu and it's the best 22€ per person we've spent. Just the bodegas salad will blow you away. Can't recommend this place enough. Worth going out of your way for!

We ordered the chicken/ rabbit paella and seafood paella both were very flavorful. We also ordered the tuna belly and fried anchovies which were delicious. Very good service as well

Wow, it's been quite a while since this restaurant has gotten a yelp review. I get it, it is out of…read morethe way from Valencia, about a 30minute and $30 dollar taxi ride. Longer if you are in the heart of Valencia, but it is worth it for the award winning paella and seafood. You are surrounded by rice paddies and you know it is a great local spot when there are other spanish folks and the servers speak a little english. Luckily the menu is in spanish and english. Service is great, nice and laid back, enjoy your food, don't rush through it style. The white wine sangria was delicious and refreshing. We had langostine and prawns and the special paella with iberico ham. Every grain of rice was very flavorfull! If you plan to take a taxi back, they staff are kind enough to call a taxi for you, keep in mind it will take 30-40min for the taxi to get to the restaurant. Your alternative option is to take the #24 bus at the center of town back to Valencia which leaves once per hour, check apple or google maps for the time.
