Top Tips from our customers for Food in Valencia - Spain

Resturant - Sargidi, on left hane side of road leading from the plaza to the catherdal square Tapas downstairs - tapas on a stick - you pay for the number of sticks you have at the end of the meal, lots of cold items on the bar for you to help yourselves to, also hot tapas brought round to your table. Resturant upstairs - expensive but a wonderful meal (140 euros two people, including bottle of wine). Really excellent food, meats and fish flame grilled the flavours were outstanding, excellent wine list and the staff could not be more helpful (french and english menus available) would love to go back from Suzanne

Prices were extremely reasonable. Try the bar 'of a hundred sandwhich fillings' - sorry don't know the spanish - near the cathedral - if chocolate sandwiches are your thing you will enjoy it here! from Marilyn

LEARN SPANISH!!! The majority of restaurants,shops etc do not speak english, which is fantastic. At least take a phrase book, as we did, to enable you to order food and drinks or do as we did and just point at the menu and wait for the surpirsie. A great way to try spanish food !! Enjoy. from Alison

We asked Mike, the guy at the hotel, for recs about where to get a decent paella and he recommended 'La Rall' (I think?). He was right, it was fantastic food - all the best bits of traditional and modern, and not too pricey either. from Juliette

Valencia's public transport system is very efficient and can save you money if on a budget opposed to getting taxi's all the time. I'm sure its buses 32 definately and possibly 19or21 that you can get outside Las Arenas (massive 5* hotel approx 100m along the beach from hotel Neptuno). Dining, my prefernece was for the city restaurant's opposed to those on the beach front right beside hotel neptuno. For roughly the same price I thought you got a better choice, quality and experience with the former. There is a great selection of both old and modern eateries, whereas those on the seafront are all just replicas of each other. from Michael

sagardi tapas (a basque restaurant) in town is brilliant from charlie

We found a small restaurant very near the hotel with a genuine Spanish atmosphere, with reasonably priced food. It was called La Utielana, Plaza Picadero dos Aguas 3. Another one close by was La Riua in the calle del Mar which had a lively atmosphere and has won lots of awards fro its Valencian cooking.It was child-friendly too. It was definitely worth taking the bus ride to the beach just a couple of miles from the city. from E

"Grannies" was our favourite restaurant along with Teasers for breakfast. For the boys there are 3 astro turf football pitches near the Dubliner Pub which are free and open all of the time. Burlington Berties is great for kids - loads for them to do. from Douglas

Beware of some restaurants advertising great deals until you get in and the bill comes with lots of extras that you were lead to believe were complimentary with the meal from Nicola
in Leicester Stayed at Catalonia Excelsior HotelJanuary 2008
Bar Canovas, Plaza Canovas is worth a visit for superb tapas. Chocolate and Churros at Valor in the square below the cathedral. Menu del dia at La Fonda (22euros but worth it) in the same square. from Isobel
