A typical Marriott breakfast place – but nothing to remember: Restaurant El Parador @ Sheraton La Caleta Resort & Spa (5. December 2021)
What you get at the El Parador is pretty much what you see – there is a rather luscious breakfast buffet which offers everything you need ranging from cheeses, fruit … … to a variety of cold cuts and fishes … … vegetables … … the necessary selection of jams and spreads … … as […]
A delicious but too speedy lunch experience: Restaurant Habitual by Ricard Camarena (13. September 2021)
I have been eating at Ricard Camarena a couple of years back and remember it to be quite good. The sister restaurant Habitual by Ricard Camarena is good but doesn’t match the level of its other restaurant (which has, admittedly, Michelin stars). The lunch started with some bread which was tasty but somewhat weird since […]
Rather a disappointment – although it started so promising: Restaurant Panorama (12. September 2021)
That day was not the day of great food. I was hoping that the Panorama would kind of compensate for the lunch failure at Nou Racó. It didn’t. The place is nice in terms of view (if you come during the day but it’s pointless in the evening when it’s dark since you cannot really […]
When you try too hard and kind of fail at everything: Restaurant Nou Racó (12. September 2021)
Visiting Albufera is something I can definitely recommend – visiting the Nou Racó not so much though. I had booked a table in advance and had to pick a “rice” dish (if I wanted one) and that turned out to be not such a great choice. In any case, as a starter I picked the […]
A Michelin Star definitely worth a visit – close to perfection: Restaurant La Salita (11. September 2021)
The La Salita was definitely the culinary highlight of this trip – the place is lovely since it feels like you’re seated like in an old farmer’s house which has been renovated and ‘pimped’ in terms of looks. Once you have picked your menu – we went for the “Novençá” (EUR 93.70), the journey of […]
A place not worth visiting: Restaurant Pura Tapa VLC (11. September 2021)
There is a reason why I don’t like to randomly walk into restaurants without having done some proper research before. The Pura Tapa VLC has a rating of 4.6 on Google Maps and I have absolutely no clue how! The place was a little busy with maybe three tables occupied. When asking if there is […]
Nice breakfast but somehow unusual location: Lobby Restaurant @ Palacio Santa Clara, Autograph Collection (11. September 2021)
Not sure if it’s due to Corona or if it’s due to the actual hotel layout but there is no breakfast buffet in the Palacio Santa Clara which was annoying me a tiny bit at first but then I figured that the breakfast selection is actually quite decent and the breakfast is good too, so […]
A nice bar but not a classic speakeasy: Speakeasy Apotheke (10. September 2021)
The Apotheke is located in the centre of Valencia and is labelled a speak easy but it doesn’t really look too much like a speak easy to me. I mean, the entrance doesn’t give away right away that it is not a pharmacy but it doesn’t hide either that it’s not a pharmacy. In any […]
