Where to Eat in Valencia
4 places to eat in Valencia, spread across Ciutat Vella, El Palmar and Malva-rosa, plus a few elsewhere. These are picked for what they cook rather than how they look, so a counter with four stools sits alongside a dining room.
Between them they cover Bunyols de carabassa, Orxata de xufa amb fartons, All i pebre and Paella valenciana, plus 1 more of the city's dishes — each listing tells you what that kitchen is actually known for, which is rarely the whole menu.
2 of them sit in the budget tier, so eating well here costs less than the guidebooks imply.
