Valencia (E)
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 […]
Amazing view and decent food with poor service: Restaurant La Sucursal (10. September 2021)
The La Sucursal looked incredibly promising but that impression changed quite quickly. It’s located on the third floor of one of the buildings in the marina and offers you quite a nice view all over the harbor. However, the access is rather complicated, i.e., it’s not very clear where you have to go and only […]
Lovely location but shitty drinks: Atic @ Palau Alameda (13. October 2018)
We had passed by the Palau Alameda quite a couple of times given it is located right next to the hotel. I had some doubt if getting in was easy – but it turned out it was. They have a rooftop terrace called ‘Atic’ which is quite nice. The service isn’t fully up to its […]
Been here before and liked it back then too: Restaurant RiFF by Bernd H. Knöller (13. October 2018)
When I had booked the RiFF, I didn’t realize that I have already paid this place a visit four years ago. But once I walked in, I realized that this place looks very familiar. Nothing has changed in terms of atmosphere or interior design (it still looks nice). I went for the “Menu RiFF” (EUR […]
Lovely place but horrible service: El Portet del Marina (13. October 2018)
The El Portet del Marina is a lovely place which is perfect to spend your afternoon over drinks close to the beach. If it wasn’t for the service. I mean, there was actually no service. We picked one of these areas without a table but more like a lounge. Which is not attended. Okay, fine, […]
Amazing tapas place worth the travel: Restaurant Casa Montaña (13. October 2018)
The Restaurant Casa Montaña was also mentioned in the book “1001 restaurants you must experience before you die” – and again, it was absolutely worth visiting. You can basically order a variety of tapas which are then brought to your table as they are prepared (so do not expect to get them in the order […]
Outstanding breakfast service and amazing atmosphere: Restaurant Rosmarino @ The Westin Valencia (13. October 2018)
The breakfast selection at the Restaurant Rosmarino is quite extensive and you really find everything you need and want for you to start the day ranging from yogurts and muesli to … … fresh fruit … … a variety of cereals … … local pies like tortilla … … pickled vegetables, smoked salmon … … […]
Decent party location but quite crowded: Radio City (12. October 2018)
Radio City is apparently one of the places to be while in Valencia. Frankly though, it is rather a student club or the like than anything else. It is admittedly crowded, the DJ plays 90ies music and the drinks are okay. Nothing fancy for sure but a place to have a good time, move to […]
