Valencia in Fallas is full of fritters. Yes, that fried and spongy pleasure that makes your stomach have no limit. I wish eating buñuelos wasn’t fattening because it would be a real treat for all Valencians. Although they already are.
So that you get fine, without losing (too much) the line, we have compiled a list with the stops in case you fancy a chocolate with fritters during these days. These are the best chocolate shops in the city.

Chocolates Valor
A classic that never fails. In the Plaza de la Reina in Valencia is the main branch of Chocolates Valor, where you can enjoy a snack with churros and fritters at any time of the year.

Horchatería Mari Toñi
Spectacular fritters await you at this horchatería in La Saïdia. A neighborhood place that prepares a thick chocolate and ideal for sucking their homemade pumpkin fritters, which you can also accompany with a horchata.
📍Location: Carrer de Alboraia, 23.
Pepina Pastel
This time we bring you some different fritters: in Pepina Pastel they have put on a fallero scarf and have made a mess with these Pepibuñuelos with pumpkin ganache and creamy chocolate inside. A revision of the classics that gladdens the soul.
In addition, they also have their own version of chocolate with churros in cake format.
📍Location: Carrer del Consolat de Mar, 3.
Churrería Casa Piloto
An artisan churrería and chocolate shop that has been open in Valencia since 1957. Grandparents, children and grandchildren have enjoyed here for decades dipping the freshly made pumpkin fritters in their thick chocolate. If you haven’t tried them yet, this Fallas will be the perfect time.
📍 Location: Gayano Lluch, 32
Churros Numerosos
Did you know that Valencia has a churros and fritters stall for celiacs? This street churro shop in Jesus Street has the endorsement of the Association of Coeliacs of the Valencian Community (ACECOVA) and is always installed for Fallas.
📍Location: Carrer Jesús, 41.
Horchatería El Collado
Because not everything is going to be horchata. In this classic horchatería you can also taste a book chocolate with homemade fritters. A place from the last century that is still a delight to visit today. And in the heart of the city.
📍 Location: Plaça del Doctor Collado, 13.
Buñolería El Contraste
A classic, given that five generations of buñoleros masters contemplate them. El Contraste, in the heart of the Ruzafa district, is one of the best places to try the pastries. Buñuelos de viento, pumpkin, sweet potato, churros, panojas… everything. And with a chocolate of extraordinary quality.
📍 Location: Carrer de Sant Valero, 12.
Horchatería Fabián
Another traditional place, but from the Ensanche, it has moved to the center of Valencia. A familiar and cozy atmosphere. Horchata and chocolate to choose from, because both options are excellent, and some fritters, a coca de llanda or some churros make it an almost cult place for these Fallas.
📍 Location: Carrer Moratín, 1.
Horchatería Santa Catalina
Next to the church of the same name we have this traditional horchatería that also has a menu of chocolates to make your mouth water. Or cocoa. French, Swiss, traditional (70% cocoa and cinnamon) or Spanish.
In addition, it is a beautiful place with ceramic tiles from Manises that are a work of art. And the fritters for the weekend, enjoy!
📍 Location: Plaça de Santa Caterina, 6.
Bea and the churro factory
A churrería with the best of yesterday and today in the Ruzafa neighborhood. Traditional, in the product, modern in the atmosphere.
📍 Location: Carrer de Matias Perelló, 31.
La Churrería del Barrio
A space dedicated exclusively to the art of churros and fritters. It is small, but that’s all it takes to enjoy a good chocolate at this time of the year. You will find it near the Av. del Cid stop.
📍 Location: Calle Burgos, 2.
