Gran Azul

The food was absolutely wonderful! Unfortunately, that’s the only positive. The service was quite poor. First, we called in the morning to ask if they had a Menú de Festivos y Fin de Semana, to which they said yes. However, when we arrived for lunch, they changed it and said it was only Carta. Next, I ordered a fish, to which the waiter asked if vegetables were ok as a side. I confirmed, thinking they were included in the price of the fish like at every other restaurant (guarnición), and because he did not mention they weren’t included or any other alternative sides. However on the bill, I was charged 9€ for the smallest side of vegetables, which is outrageous… Additionally, throughout the meal, the waiters kept trying to upsell us items. It was an overall uncomfortable experience.

Worst meal we had in Valencia. Apart from the pleasant setting, all else was utter disappointment. The sirloin was inedible (chewy and bland), the paella was a joke 2 uncooked prawns per person and a small piece of fish over salty rice. I have lived in Spain and this is not good paella. Bad food happens to the best restaurants but what truly turned me off was the service - no one came to check if all was ok, if we needed water or more wine. Overall an overrated restaurant.

Best paella in town. Fresh seafood. Great menu. Good beef options. Incredible wine list. Attentive servers and very pleasant atmosphere.

First of all, this was 5th restaurant we stopped after searching for paella place for hours in the area. While everywhere else turned us down, they were so kind and very accommodating. Service was professional attentive and friendly. Food was also amazing too. They definitely knows their seafood and meat dishes were also great too. The chocolate dessert was a heaven for any chocolate lover. I would go back there with larger group next time with reservation for sure. Perfect for family or friends group out or romantic dinner.

Lovely setting. Space and staff is very welcoming and decoration is really nice. English speaking staff is also available. Seafood paella was exquisite. We initially thought that the rice was too little for two but we were both very full in the end. The manager recommended a nice wine to accompany our meal which made the whole dinner super special (it was not the most expensive for the sceptical ones).

Highly recommended by a local friend, and what a good advice it was! The restaurant is stylish and modern, with wood all over around. We had a few starters to share (the one with squid was delicious!!), and two paella also shared among the 6 of us (one with mariscos, one valenciana). Two bottles of white wine along with the food, and two dessert (the tarte with sorbetto on top, what a postre!). Overall we paid 40€ each. Very good value for money!

Awesome flavor explosion! best ever seafood “Arroz”, also a very close second place for the aged steak cooked to perfection! Service and ambience was also 1st class!

Had lunch there in the winter. One of the best places for rice dishes in Valencia. Very nice interior, a lot of families with children, super well organized staff. Arroz with carabineros was hard to forget. Also nice oysters and beef tartare.

Wonderful recommendation by our Hotel Hospes. We enjoyed the jamon iberico, grilled octopus with potato purée, tuna sushi and that day's special, red snapper. They also had a wonderful selection of sangria and wine. Overall, a high quality place. Also, it is closely located to the park - so you can stroll those calories away after your meal.

This restaurant reacted extremely poorly to a terrible case of food poisoning that my boyfriend and I got there. After our meal, we became violently ill for an entire day. Still pale and feverish, we went back to inform them about what had happened. Instead of apologizing, even a single "I'm sorry that happened to you", we were responded to with suggestions on how to heal ourselves (we are college graduates) and reiterations of how fresh their food is. The food poisoning was one thing, and could happen at any restaurant, but the way it was received when reported was the cherry on top of a horrific experience.
