The hospitality sector in the Camp de Túria region is losing Bar Torrent this week, or at least as it has been known until now. Located in the municipality of La Eliana, it will close its doors for good on Monday, February 23, after the family that owns it decided to transfer the business to new owners, as confirmed by sources close to the family to Joan Ruiz, from @esmorzaret.
No one from the family will be taking over the bar, and it is not yet known what the new phase of the bar will be like or whether the same menu and concept will be maintained.
The establishment, founded in 1960, is rushing through its last days of service with a simple but hearty menu, where sandwiches are the undisputed stars at lunchtime. The most famous, the eggplant, cheese, blood sausage, bacon, and mayonnaise sandwich, will be served for the last time this weekend, along with the Almussafes with poached onion or its Russian salad tapa.
Beyond the food, the establishment maintains a menu of coffees and drinks that have disappeared from most modern cafés. Among its exclusive offerings are the “Ruso,” a coffee mixed with meringue milk, and the Nacional, which combines coffee with ice cream.
Those who wish to taste these specialties for the last time have until February 23, the date set for the definitive closure of this historic corner of La Eliana.
