The best paella of my life: Restaurant La Ruiá (12. October 2018)
The La Ruiá is mentioned in a book called “1001 restaurants you must experience before you die” and I must say, the book has proven to be a true gem. Frankly, I would never have entered the La Ruiá by just looking at it from outside – the place looks closed and really not appealing. […]
Touristic place but lovely pintxos: Restaurant Pintxo i Trago (12. October 2018)
What I like so much about Spain is their concept of tapas or pintxos. A pintxo is a tapa but on a little slice of bread. And what you can basically do is you pick them from a vitrine at the entrance of the restaurant and then they count your tooth picks and charge you […]
14. September 2014: Restaurant Taberna Alkázar
The “Ham Croquettes” (EUR 4.00) are quite okay in taste but the ones I’ve enjoyed the day before were actually better. What was a nice sidedish, so to speak were the Pommes Alumettes which were served with the ham croquettes. However, as nice the Pommes Alumettes are as an idea they are way too fried […]
14. September 2014: Kiosco-Bar Centro de Entrenamiento de Voley-Playa
The Kiosco-Bar Centro de Entrenamiento de Voley-Playa is a rather simple place and you just go there if you are spending time at the beach anyway (or walk down the beach). But there is one reason why you should go there anyway – the freshly pressed watermelon juice (EUR 3.00) is absolutely worth trying – […]
13. September 2014: Restaurant Ricard Camarena
So, as quite often before I have checked TripAdvisor again before booking restaurants in Valencia – and the Ricard Camarena is the number one (as of now). And obviously, I decided to go for the “Menu Degustacion” (EUR 90.00) in order to get the full experience. The menu started with “Spring Onion, Anchovies, Coffee, and […]
13. September 2014: El Jardí Bar @ Westin Valencia
What I like about the bars in hotels is their atmosphere and also the El Jardí Bar in the Westin Valencia does not fall short with regards to the atmosphere. It is just this feeling of comfort, of internationality, of hospitality and last but not least of you as the guest being welcome which makes […]
13. September 2014: Restaurant Sagardi
When randomly walking by the Restaurant Sagardi I decided to get back and walk in to try the “pintxos” which were at display. The concept is rather simple, you get to pick your pintxos yourself from the counter and in the end you just pay for the number of toothpicks which are on your plate […]
13. September 2014: Restaurante Contrapunto
The Restaurante Contrapunto is not really great due to its service as the waiters there belong to the most un-attentive bunch of waiters I have experienced in quite a while, however, it is still worth to take a little break here. The place is located in Calatrava’s futuristic layout of Valencia and the view you […]
