The 24 Best Restaurants In Valencia - Valencia - The Infatuation

"Valencia isn’t exactly overflowing with divey tapas bars turning out plates that overdeliver, but the ones it has hit hard. If you manage to squeeze into this standing-room-only spot (est. 1946) with fluorescent lights and a steady hum of banter, consider yourself lucky—there’s not much real estate. Start with a cold beer and place your order fast since the husband-wife duo who runs this place do so with no-nonsense precision, and stick to the classics: kidneys, cuttlefish, mushrooms, and snails. One unspoken rule that everyone seems to follow: order the butterflied sardines, which are sourced fresh that morning from Mercado Central, arrive perfectly browned, oil-slicked, and buried in a garlicky green sauce on little silver plates." - david neimanis
