Dining out can become a multi-sensory experience. Not only smell and taste come into play when it comes to visiting the best restaurants in Valencia. Eating at the most beautiful restaurants in Valencia also allows us to enjoy other senses such as sight, touch or hearing.
There are minimalist restaurants, others that recreate other cultures or scenarios, there are those with terrace and more romantic ones. But they all share a common denominator: they are spectacular.
Salvaje
The most rogue side of Japanese cuisine is served in Salvaje, a restaurant that combines the gastronomic experience with the show. All in an atmosphere that breathes exclusivity. Fermín Azkue is in charge of the gastronomic proposal of the space.
📍 Plaça de Rodrigo Botet, 5, Ciutat Vella.
Baovan
Baovan won the “Best Color” award at the Global Restaurant & Bar Design Award last September.
📍 Salvador Abril, 22.
Egeo
This Greek restaurant in Ruzafa specializes in suvlakis, the “rolled sandwiches” of Greece. Its local has positioned itself as one of the most beautiful, and is that you will believe that you are in Crete or Santorini.
📍 Carrer del Literat Azorín, 8.
San Tomasso
It is the most beautiful restaurant, according to customer reviews on Tripadvisor. We recently told you about it in this article. It specializes in traditional Italian cuisine in El Carmen, a classic.
📍 Calle Correjería, 39.
Villa Indiano
The restaurant where you will feel at home. The hydraulic floors and the layout of the restaurant will make you feel at home with those friends who have an exquisite taste for decoration. Overlooking the orchard of Burjassot, this project recovers an old modernist villa on the outskirts of Valencia to provide it with a restaurant and cultural agenda that you can not miss every weekend.
📍 Burjassot.
Begin
After the success of its restaurant in Cortes Valencianas, Begin was looking for a new concept with which to surprise. The result is this restaurant in Valencia inspired by the Valencian orchard.
📍 Paseo de la Alameda, 47.
Beverly
This is the most aesthetic café in Valencia. Here you can come to enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch and snacks (open from 9 am to 9 pm). Its facade full of flowers will make you fall in love with it.
📍 Gran Via del Marqués del Túria, 18.
Kaikaya
Its Brazilian-Japanese fusion is also reflected in the decoration. It is one of the newcomers and takes us to a space with Caribbean airs, with small reserved areas for an evening with your partner.
📍 Plaça de l’Ajuntament, 10.
Living Bakkali
This approach to Middle Eastern aesthetics is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Valencia (and possibly the world). Recently, it has been chosen as a finalist in the awards that are equivalent to the Oscars of interior design in the restaurant world.
📍 Carrer de Xile, 9.
La Diva
“Spectacular.” That’s the word repeated by those who delve into the world of La Diva, a place on Carrer Sorní that is a restaurant and nightclub in equal parts. Through its gastronomy, it proposes a trip around the world that can be rounded off with one of its cocktails.
📍 Sorní Street.
La Sastrería
Pure sea tapas in El Cabanyal. This restaurant of the Gastroadictos group are immersed with its decor in the seafaring Valencia to start a journey through the typical dishes of this old fishing district of Valencia.
📍 Carrer de Josep Benlliure, 42.
Voltereta Bali
The Voltereta group specializes in playing the decoration game in Valencia. Theirs are two of the nicest restaurants in Valencia on this list and the first is Bali, a space that recreates the scenery of Indonesia. Here there is a villa (interior restaurant) and a camp as a terrace that takes us to the summer of Southeast Asia without leaving Valencia.
📍 Gran Via Marqués del Turia 59.
Nozomi
The cherry blossoms are a spectacle in Japan that Nozomi has imported to the streets of Ruzafa. This restaurant, in addition to offering authentic Japanese cuisine, has cherry blossoms on its ceiling that give a magical touch to the space. Simple and effective, like the decoration of the whole place.
📍 Carrer de Pere III el Gran, 2.
Anyora
Tradition prevails in this tavern in Cabanyal. Anyora is a benchmark for tapas, one of the best restaurants in Valencia and one of the most authentically decorated spaces you can imagine. It takes us back to another era, to the Spain of the 40’s. In fact, the restaurant rescued an old bodega from 1937 in the neighborhood to give shape to what Anyora is today.
📍 Carrer d’en Vicent Gallart, 15.
Voltereta Kyoto
Fushimi Inari, symbol of Kyoto, welcomes us to this Japanese restaurant of the Voltereta group. It is its latest opening and here we will eat seated on the floor in small Japanese rooms after walking through a foyer that also recreates the cherry blossom, as in Nozomi.
📍 Passeig de l’Albereda, 51.
Pelayo Gastro Trinquet
Valencian tradition can also be beautiful. In particular, Pelayo Gastro Trinquet ‘s tradition is enchanting because it unites tradition (we are in the oldest trinquet of the Valencian Community) with modernity. Here we can have lunch, lunch or dinner while Valencian pilota matches are played a few meters from us.
📍 Carrer de Pelai, 6.
La Salita
Michelin-starred cuisine in the Ruzafa district. La Salita moved in 2020 to this 18th century Valencian house to continue offering its quality cuisine that has made it one of the best restaurants in Valencia. The terrace is a luxury in the heart of Valencia.
📍 Carrer de Pere III el Gran, 11.
El Camerino Ruzafa
As its name suggests, this Ruzafa venue creates the vibes of a theater dressing room. Tapas, cocktails and Spanish dishes, such as paella and stews, form the menu of this Mediterranean restaurant with two atmospheres perfectly differentiated by blue and pink tones.
📍 Carrer de Mossèn Femenia, 16.
Kamon
The Japanese and Mediterranean fusion is also transferred to the walls of Kamon. After undergoing a comprehensive renovation in 2018, this restaurant deserves a spot on our list. The combination of tile and wood brings together the best of Japan and the Mediterranean in a simple and discreet way.
📍 Conde Altea, 42.
Apotheke
The first speakeasy in Valencia has to have the air of a clandestine place, on the edge of legality. And that’s the feeling you get when you enter Apotheke, a bar where you can come for tapas and enjoy one of its many cocktails.
📍 Carrer de Ciscar, 18.
Mo Valencia Gastrobar
We close the list with the most minimalist of all. This restaurant in Valencia offers local and market products in a space where the Mediterranean essence predominates. The white tones, which dominate most of the space, are interrupted by colorful details such as paintings, the contrast between different chairs or cushions with colorful notes.
📍 Pintor Ricardo Verde, 1.
