I must confess that this has been one of the best restaurant experiences we've had so far living in Spain (we've been here for about 4 months and have eaten at many different restaurants).
Truthfully, I cannot praise this place enough! Good things all around! We came in December; therefore, the entire place was decked in Christmas spirit. The beautiful festive decor and the classical, soothing Christmas music are magically empowered by the dim lighting of a gigantic chandelier centered in the restaurant. Coupled with the exquisite taste and aesthetics of the food, the entirety of this establishment transports you to an ethereal plane straight off the streets of Valencia.
Here's what you need to know:
- The food is delicious no matter what you order, so go for it. We tried a host of their food and saw many other entrees that left our eyes wanting more but our stomachs begging for less (lol). *See our pictures for more info on our choices.
- You don't need a reservation but it is highly advised. We were able to get in but we had to leave within an hour due to not having a reservation. If we went again, that would be the first thing I would do after booking train tickets and lodging.
- The staff is amazing! They are extremely accommodating and welcoming. Mireia was our waitress. She went over and beyond giving us tips and recommendations. Her attitude and smile did nothing less than add to the enchantment of the restaurant. Also, her English is perfect. It's sad to say that I discovered this because my Spanish is that horrible.
- They have both indoor and outdoor seating. During the winter, I would choose indoor seating for the beauty of the restaurant. During the summer, I would choose outdoor seating because eating under the old Valencian sky would be unreal.
- The best thing is that the food is reasonably priced. For four specialty drinks, wine, water, two pasta dishes, a whole pizza, lemon gelato, and a huge slice of cheesecake, we paid 84 euros.
- The beautiful art hung throughout the restaurant is worth the price of admission alone.
Overall, what a wonderful experience in every possible way. Honestly, it might be one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. If you're in Valencia and miss this place, you're doing yourself a huge injustice.
