Baovan won the “Best Color” award last September at the Global Restaurant & Bar Design Awards.

It’s the most beautiful restaurant, according to customer reviews on Tripadvisor. We recently mentioned it in this article. It specializes in traditional Italian cuisine in El Carmen, a classic.

The restaurant where you’ll feel right at home. The terrazzo floors and the restaurant’s layout will make you feel like you’re at the home of those friends with exquisite taste in decor.

Authentic seafood tapas in El Cabanyal. This restaurant from the Gastroadictos group immerses you in the maritime atmosphere of Valencia through its décor, taking you on a journey through the traditional dishes of this historic fishing neighborhood.

The Voltereta group specializes in taking Valencia’s interior design game to the next level. Two of the most beautiful restaurants in Valencia on this list belong to them, and the first is Bali, a space that recreates the settings of Indonesia. Here, there is a villa (the indoor restaurant) and a campsite-style terrace that transports us to a Southeast Asian summer without leaving Valencia.

Cherry blossoms are a spectacular sight in Japan that Nozomi has brought to the streets of Ruzafa. This restaurant, in addition to offering authentic Japanese cuisine, features cherry blossoms on its ceiling that lend a magical touch to the space. Simple and effective, just like the decor throughout the restaurant.

Tradition reigns supreme in this Cabanyal tavern. Anyora is a staple of the tapas scene, one of the best restaurants in Valencia, and one of the most authentically decorated spaces you can imagine.

Fushimi Inari, a symbol of Kyoto, welcomes us to this Japanese restaurant from the Voltereta group. It’s their latest opening, and here we’ll dine seated on the floor in small Japanese-style rooms after passing through a foyer that also recreates the blooming of cherry blossoms, just like at Nozomi.

Valencian tradition can also be beautiful. Specifically, Pelayo Gastro Trinquet is a delight because it blends tradition (we’re in the oldest trinquet in the Valencian Community) with modernity. Here we can have lunch, dinner, or a late-night meal while Valencian pilota matches take place just a few meters away.

Michelin-starred cuisine in the Ruzafa neighborhood. La Salita moved in 2020 to this 18th-century Valencian house to continue offering the quality cuisine that has made it one of the best restaurants in Valencia. The terrace is a luxury right in the heart of Valencia.

The Japanese-Mediterranean fusion also comes to life within the walls of Kamon. After undergoing a complete 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 understated way.

Valencia’s first speakeasy has to have the feel of a clandestine spot, teetering on the edge of legality. And that’s the vibe you get when you walk into Apotheke, a bar where you can come for tapas and savor one of its many cocktails.

We close the list with the most minimalist of them all. This Valencia restaurant offers local and market-fresh ingredients in a space where the Mediterranean essence reigns. The white tones, which dominate most of the space, are punctuated by colorful details such as paintings, the contrast between different chairs, or cushions with splashes of color.
