Tasty classic Spanish cuisine and drinks with lots of seating inside are available at Taberna El Grau.
I came by late during the Easter holidays and was glad to find some space. We didn't realize we were at the bar, as there was an entire restaurant space next to it! They were busy despite the 10:30 start time of our meal, with a very drunk but nice local lady talking us up while waiting for service. Clean with bright but classic decor, there are large windows and it is conveniently located a bit back from the beach (less touristy).
Food was solid, but did take some time to come iut of the kitchen. Jose got a steak that was barely cooked, and he liked it a lot. The potato chips that came with it were crispy and salty. We had a nice artichoke and patatas bravas that were not freshly fried unfortunately. I still liked them, can't go wrong with potatoes and me. Prices were reasonable and service friendly.
Avoid the beach eateries in Valencia and try out Tabernal El Grau. read more
