If you're wondering where to eat in Valencia, my Breakfast Always Wins map has 23 places I've been noting down. Rice dishes and seafood show up across all of them, so it's a good starting point if you're after paella or something from the sea. Some I can name are Nozomi Sushi Bar, Bodega " La Pascuala ", El Poblet Restaurante, Arroceria Maribel and La Pepica, with three in Ciutat Vella and ten in l'Eixample.
Most are for lunch and dinner, with 22 for lunchtime and 21 for the evening, and there are also a couple of tapas spots and one café. Nothing is sponsored: if it's on the map, I've eaten there myself.
Picked one by one by Rupo, Google Local Guide level 8. No sponsorships.
My map has 23 places serving rice dishes, including Arroceria Maribel, El Poblet Restaurante and La Pepica. They all appear in the rice and seafood list for Valencia.
I have 21 places for dinner in Valencia, mostly across l'Eixample and Ciutat Vella. Examples include Ricard Camarena Restaurant and Canalla Bistro by Ricard Camarena.
I do, Rupo, a Google Local Guide at level 8 who shares what he eats as a hobby. Nothing on the map is sponsored: if it's here, I liked it enough to recommend it.
