Central Bar by Ricard Camarena

The 24 Best Restaurants In Valencia - Valencia - The Infatuation

"With over 1,200 stalls, Mercado Central is widely recognized as one of the best and largest fresh markets in Europe. You can (and should) get lost in the stunning food Art Nouveau paradise full of food stalls, produce stands, and hanging legs of jamón Iberico, but when you’re ready for a knockout meal, roll up to Central Bar, Ricard Camarena’s more down-to-earth project. The menu is dedicated to almuerzo, and the move here is the namesake sandwich: juicy pork loin, caramelized onion, mustard, and cheese stacked on a warm, half-moon cacahuet roll—simple, messy, perfect. Take advantage of what’s on ice at the counter too, like just-grilled red prawns or a round of oysters to split next to a cold beer." - david neimanis
