When eating in Valencia you must remember two things. First of all don’t plan on getting comfortable in a restaurant until the small hand is at ten as most restaurants open for lunch but shut their doors again around 3pm, not to open them again until 9pm. Secondly, acquaint yourself with some Spanish delicacies as many restaurants serve nothing else.
The most famous of these local culinary delights is paella. Valencia is the birthplace of it, largely due to the fact that the outskirts is where you will find hundreds of rice fields, something unusual for a European city. Paella has many variations but Valencia is where you can treat yourself to traditional paella, with rice, chicken and rabbit being the staple ingredients.
There are restaurants scattered throughout the city centre, but the highest concentration of eateries is in the Carmen district. Calle del Mar just off Plaza de la Reina has a good selection of places to refuel, as does Calle Caballero to the west of Plaza del Virgen. If you’re looking for something a little kinder to your pocket there are fast food joints laced throughout the city centre.
