You may notice a friendly looking chain of cafes located all over Valencia called Cafe & Te. They are open from morning till night, serving coffee & tea, snacks, meals, treats and alcoholic drinks too.
There was a branch located close to our hotel, on Paseo Ruzafa ,and we popped in for a quick breakfast one morning. We ordered at the counter and then chose a table inside...it was a little cold to eat outside.
We had a coffee, which was quite drinkable - and they even had proper Decaf coffee for me! We just ate a couple of croissants and a muffin, which were fresh & tasty. Leave a Comment

2 days in Spain is really not enough time to adjust to the later Spanish meal times is it.
We were hungry and it was only 1pm. No one would serve us up a big paella until after 2pm.
I am saddened to say that we had to opt for pizza....though not just any old pizza, at least this was special!
Not only does Crapa Pelata have an unusual name, but they also have an unusual method of serving up their tasty pizza.
You order a small, medium or family pizza. You then peruse a very long list of different toppings/combinations. If you order a medium you can have 2 different combinations, or 3 if you order family size.
We opted for a family size...well, we were hungry! We chose Margherita, Spicy Pepperoni & bacon/egg/potato, and were not disappointed by any of them.
When the big pizza arrived on its rectangular wooden board I wasn't sure we would be able to eat it all....well, we managed. And washed it down with a couple of Italian beers (all alcohol on offer was Italian).
This is a cheerful place, with very friendly staff, who were happy to help us (and the other non-Spanish speaking diners) through the menu.

When on holiday we like to try and have a least one special meal. Before our trip I came across some rave reviews on a restaurant called Rias Gallegas, so I asked our hotel to book a table for us, as it sounded like our sort of place.
Rias Gallegas is located just of Calle de Ruzafa, only a couple of minutes walk from Estacion del Norte. The wooden entrance to the restaurant gives you taste of what is to come - it is a pretty stylish place.
Walk through the door, up to the reception desk, check your coats and then take a seat, enjoying the classy design of the place. Service was polished yet friendly and we were made to feel very welcome.
Alex decided to start off with a refreshing drink...a Gin & Tonic...they bought the Gin bottle to our table and started pouring....it looked like they were going to give him half a bottle! It was definitely the strongest/largest G&T he had ever been served. We also ordered a fabulous bottle of Spanish Sauvignon Blanc which was recommended by our waiter and it was perfect with our meals.
To start, we were presented with some little appetisers - a small piece of a type of fish pie and a mini glass of pumpkin soup.
Next we shared the baby octopus, which was perfectly cooked, though I wasn't too keen on the spices that it was cooked in. For main course I had the Grilled Cod which just melted in my mouth, and Alex had the Monk fish which was wrapped in spicy sausage (which over powered the fish a bit).
It seemed criminal not to have dessert...and how could Alex resist the chocolate fondant with the gooey chocolate sauce inside. I was more sensible, sticking to the Almond cake.
So, to sum it up. The food was good quality and very well presented, though we didn't love it. The atmosphere and the service were the best part of the experience, and on those alone I would recommend Rias Gallegas.

 Jennie's birthday meal. by nhcram
Excellent service although we were a little rushed by the waiter.
As it was my sisters birthday she received an individual cake with candle and the waiter sang Happy Birthday in his best English!
The food was good and the place was clean. The place was very busy even though it was a Sunday night.
The vegetarian pizza was a good choice for my sisiter and the pasta dished were also very good. Leave a Comment Theme: ItalianPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: C/Conde Altea 41Phone: 00 963 341 304

 In blue the crystal walls
with fishes by SirRichard
It's underground, and the walls are crystal, letting you see all the fishes pass by, is like eating in a crystal submarine!!!
Besides that, the decoration is superb, specially the central big lamp (see pic) that reminds a medusa (jelly fish).

The place was buzzing with young and old alike. It was great to watch the world go by. The walls were decorated with lovely tiles and the restaurant/bar was clean.. Service was slow but as I say the place was busy!
We had the Patatas Bravas, bread with tomatoe paste, tortilla and some lovely croquettes. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Plaza Del AyuntamientoPhone: 00 34 96 351 11 34

 Don Churro by nhcram
We returned later for a sandwich and because the place was not busy she had more time for us and was indeed a pleasant young lady.

We arrived in Valencia at midday. After checking into our hotel, we decided that lunch was our first point of call. I had read about a small, hard to find place called La Utielana, that was rumoured to be very good value for money, serving delicious local cuisine.
La Utielana was a bit tricky to find, especially without a proper map. After wandering around for a while, we actually came across the back entrance of the restaurant at San Andres 4 (off Calle Poeta Querol), just south of the Palacio del Marques de Dos Aguas. The main entrance is a lot harder to find, hidden in a small courtyard via an alleyway.
Anyway, make the effort to find La Utielana as it is worth it. This is a small, tile lined restaurant which was filled with locals enjoying a quiet Saturday lunch when we visited. Not long after we arrived, all the tables filled up, and by the time we left there was a large queue of hungry people waiting for a table. The service was friendly, and there was a cosy 'family run' feeling, with mama busy in the kitchen serving up honest fare.
We both opted for the house speciality, which was El cordero al horno con una salsita (oven roasted lamb in a delicious sauce). It was very good - the lamb just fell off the bone and melted in your mouth. We couldn't resist ordering a bottle of their full flavoured house red wine to accompany it.
All that and a bottle of water as well, for only 20 euros. A great experience.
