LAVOE Arroz y Mar

Tried the tuna tartare and the paella at Lavoe in Valencia and found it underwhelming. The dish was nothing special—flavors were fine but lacked the marrisco, and it wasn't anything memorable. For the price, I expected more. Overall, it felt overpriced for what it offered. The restaurant is nice, but there is a strong sewage smell covered in air freshener.

Delicious food and fantastic atmosphere. But be advised that you can order only one rice dish for the whole table. Good to agree in advance.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, and was a great addition to my Valencia itinerary! Prices are reasonable too, for the quality of food and impeccable service

We (2 couples) went there because our renter highly recommanded this restaurant specialized in "arroz" dishes. As a first we had tomatoes in olive oil and sepia, both tasty and of great quality. Arroz negro de marisca then was a real highlight in taste, albeit simply overpriced considering the counted pieces of garnels and fish on top. The winelist is small but fairly priced, the sauvignon blanc Impromtu from Utiel was a decent companion. The waiters are kind of special: efficient, but snappy and arrogant.

I was alone so they put me at the very back of the restaurant. No windows, no music, very dark and depressive inside. I didn't want any starters and they offered me bread, and at the end they charged me for it. The rice was very salty, i couldn't finish it. And it was very expensive, it bothers me when you have tons of other restaurant options with more delicious food, at a cheaper price. Went there with a tip of a colleague but regretting.

Food's ok, but the place is very pricey for what is served to you. Portions are on the small side (huge paella pan but too little rice in it 😄) and your get charged for everything. Also the place seems to attract the posh crowd, which makes it not the kind of place I like

Looks great but doesn’t live up to its first impression. Very expensive for what we got. Very disappointing, this was a recommendation that we wish we had ignored. We had to hunt for the seafood in the paella - 6 prawns for 4 people. Had so looked forward to the local paella. Would not recommend. Find somewhere else.

Tomato starter was excellent, paella was tasty could do with more shrimp for the price (8 small pieces of shrimp for almost 50 EUR).
