However, I avoid it when there is a DJ in house. When I want a club I go to one, when I want great food within walking distance to my flat then I go to Badmanners. I don't like the two mixing. I like that the location isn't on the Promenade or in Old Town. Its tucked away in a corner, easily missed. Just look for their neon sign. Since its not on the Promenade, it isn't a tourist trap. They put love in their food and you can taste it. The quality of the food is intentional.

The smaller vegetarian 'especial' flatbread was delicate, subtly spiced, and exactly the right amount of food for me. No complaints!

El Encuentro is a stone's throw away from the Plaça de l'Ajuntament (the main square in Old Town…read morethat is now closed to traffic for pedestrians.) Don't judge it from the simple exterior. It's more of a traditional restaurant with some variations from a standard menu you'll find across Valencia that cater to tourists. We began with the meatballs (a must). I had the beef tail, which was one of the most delicious oxtail stews I've ever had. Full of depth and flavor, the oxtail sits in a delectable gravy which you'll be able to sop up with some bread. My other half had the veal sirloin, but it was a bit too gamey for him. Reservations are highly recommended. Keep in mind that many places in Spain close after lunch and reopen for dinner around 8pm, so make that reservation earlier in the day if you plan on having dinner. The food and service here were wonderful. Well worth a visit. Takes cards and cash.
