Reviews




We had a good meal at Navarro.
We ordered the fish soup to start - was watery and light. Normally are used to it being creamier.
We preordered the Valencian Paella for 2. Included snails, rabbit and chicken. It was very good. However none of the dishes really stood out as being excellent.
I think there are better restaurants to visit when in Valencia

The best paella ever I had! The Valenciana Paella is a little bit sticky, I like it though! You need a reservation for sure. We also ordered the baby squid with ink and the tomato salad as a starter. Valencia tomato is incredibly big! You should try it once! Also the baby squid with ink:)







Simplemente BRUTAL. Comida elegante, sabrosa, sabores únicos, cada plato supera el anterior, explicados de manera excepcional. Un lujo poder ver como te preparan cada plato.






Sangria- cute presentation and great taste. 10/10
Mussels- lots of garlic and delicious sauce. 9/10
Garlic shrimp- rather small shrimp but great taste. 9/10
Grilled squid- just lightly salted. Would have liked more of a char or seasoning. 8/10
Cheese ravioli- grease but not overwhelming cheese taste and pairs well with the mushrooms. 9/10

Cada vez me gusta más. La cocina de Toshi es delicada, original e imaginativa, pero con un respeto al producto donde cada bocado es una explosión de sabor. No enmascara ni transforma los ingredientes, su imaginación no tiene límites. Gracias por hacernos disfrutar cuando nos sentamos en tu barra. Y a Marta también gracias por atendernos tan bien.






Lovely gem of a place during our stay in Valencia. The staff, whom I reckon is the owner, was so warm and welcoming. Advising us on what to order and how she will separate the servings to make it easier for me and my wife to dine in harmony. The food was the best that we have tasted in a week in Spain and we would love to visit the restaurant again!


Recently had an exceptional fine dining experience at Fierro Valencia, where every aspect, from the impeccable service (lovely staff!) to the exquisite dishes, truly showcased why Michelin star is undoubtedly well-deserved!







It's a busy place, and there aren't too many tables, so it's worth booking in advance, especially for larger groups, but if you're lucky you can find a few empty seats. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, the service is very friendly and helpful. The menu is creative and the selection is wide. It's worth trying a variety of dishes, and this is especially true for tapas. Our personal favorites were Steak tartare and Foie with mackerel. These are both amazingly delicious and exciting. The Chatsu toast honestly looked more special on the menu than it tasted, and the same goes for the Shredded beef taco. During our visits, we also tasted the Seafood paella and the Iberian secret fideuà. Both were too salty for our taste, but otherwise tasty, so definitely worth trying. They would have been perfect with less salt. We tasted a Valencian orange ice cream for dessert, and on the recommendation of our server we had a local dry white wine with the meal, and both were extremely delicious and special. All in all, we were very satisfied, and would love to come back again.






Great looking restaurant with excellent service. The food is full of taste and looks gorgeous.
They can also speak english very well yet is also loved by locals. So don’t worry about it being a tourist trap.
We had to move to another table because there was a group of four coming which wasn’t a problem, but we did get free dessert as a thank you for switching tables.
Price/value is also on point!

La paella de mariscos es deliciosa! We were lucky enough to grab a table for two right after they opened without a reservation, but reservations are a must if you want to make sure you get a table.
The staff is super friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is great. One of the best pellas we have had!

I'm sorry to say I felt the food read better on the menu. All was tepid and not to my taste. The atmosphere was ruined by children being allowed to run around as if it was a playground. I'm afraid apart from the fish tanks it's not a particularly special restaurant.




Definitely would recommend booking. It was fully booked when we went. Lovely setting. Service was very slow. The food was average but setting was really beautiful






Amazing! Would recommend the menu with wine pairing

Mixed feelings about this restaurant. Service is a bit slow. Food looks fancy but the taste is not at the top. Not bad but not the best. Iberian pork was totally flat while I was expecting a more tasteful choice of meat. Avoid the goat cheese if you don’t like intense taste of goat milk. Best taste came from smoked sardine on a toast. Jamon Iberico very mediocre.





Nice place, but that's all there is to say. Unfortunately, when we came, we were only offered a test menu for 49 euros, not all items. This upset me, because I wanted to try the corresponding item from the main menu. However, the interior is really impressive, and the service is at a high level!
I would also like to note that the food was delicious, but more was expected for such a restaurant.

Must go if you want to taste a real paella from Valencia in town. Two incredible ladies will receive you at the restaurant, very professional and multi language speaking. Refined atmosphere and much room on the table to have your meal comfortably. Honest prices! However I felt that something was wrong with the service and it seems to me not efficiently organized, we had to remind them to bring our appetizer, in the traditional paella there are broad been not mentioned in the menu (you should because broad bean allergy is fatal)! And you should provide some tools to eat snails in the paella. Generally speaking, a place to go but don’t forget to book one earlier, both a table and a traditional paella.

A Michelin food quality in a pet friendly carefree place!
The food is gorgeous, all we can taste was delicious, just ask for recommendations and let yourself go and enjoy it!

Toshi nos ofrece unos platos con una exquisita calidad con producto local y elaboración japonesa tremendamente maravilloso. Explica cada plato mientras lo elabora. El ambiente es tranquilo y relajado lo que te permite disfrutar todos los sabores. Genial

Im Viertel Nähe Corte Inglés, Ciudad des Arts y Ciencias, neben dem Turm Grünstreifen. Liegt an einer Ecke zwischen 2 Häuserblocks wir waren zum Frühstück, Kaffee Kuchen und zum Lunch dort drinnen und draußen überdachte Sitzplätze.
Schneller, freundlicher Service Preise echt moderat. Sauberer als die Bar nebenan. Kostenfreie Parkplätze auf der ruhigen Straße.

We had a lovely dinner at fum de Llum. The entrees and dessert were phenomal, especially the croquetettes. The paella was also good but a bit too salty for our taste. But we see it as just a small mistake which can happen. The services was also very quick and friendly. We would definitely come back here!







Very artistic approach on the food , service and atmosphere you cannot fault. Staff were very attentive and whole experience felt personal, we paired Kombucha with our food which was lovely but felt little too much , would choose the wine pairing next time.





Enjoyed dinner here last night.
I would recommend coming. The red shrimp croquettes were ve3y good, same with shrimp, pork, mushrooms paella 🥘 😋

Una experiencia increíble, con platos sabrosos. El ambiente muy acogedor y tranquilo perfecto para una cita.









Fantastic experience. We did the tasting menu with the full "around the world" wine pairing and everything was delicious. Excellent service.


What an experience! Located in the heart of the aquarium. It is a surreal dining experience to be able to eat while fish in mass swim around you. The menu was great, service was friendly and professional. And overall just a fantastic end to our time in Valencia.


The service is amazing. Very kind and friendly staff. The food is good. Well done but nothing I haven't seen before.
Unfortunately, the place smells. Literally, like sewer. It is a common problem in Valencia due to plumbing but not what you want to smell when eating.

This place offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding fish tank from every angle. While the prefix dinner selection is somewhat limited, you have the option to choose individual side dishes along with a main entree, complemented by a bottle of wine. Whether you're with family, a romantic partner, or a group of friends, it caters to all. The overall experience is truly remarkable, and I strongly advise making reservations in advance. I wholeheartedly endorse this venue for its exceptional experience.



























A very unique experience with amazing food and very good service. We were a table of 6 and some arrived late but they were very accommodating and also a last minute dietary requirement which they executed without any problems and the alternatives looked amazing! The whole evening was a game with us having to guess the ingredients, wondering what the next course will be (you receive the menu at the end) and it was a very well orchestrated dinner. The service of all staff and chefs were amazing, paying attention to all the little details. Definitely deserving of its Michelin star. Highly recommended. Price is definitely on the high end but you definitely will not be disappointed.




I can only judge the place. This is a restaurant on the underground level inside of a big aquarium. It should be nice to eat in such a peaceful environment with the fish swimming around. However, you have to make a reservation with time in advance as it often full. They also open at night and you can access it without buying the Oceanogràfic entrance. Maybe in the future I give it a try.





They had only one person working at the bar on a Saturday at lunch time. I had to wait way too long for a bier :/
On the plus side, the bier was cold and it was nice to drink it outside while seeing the animal being fed.

Ordered a dish and wrong order came. When I asked to swap they said I have to pay extra. The dish was disgusting and manager was very rude. DO NOT RECOMMEND. They wouldn’t accommodate it and did not give refund or alternative food even though they made the order wrong.


















So amazing. Needless to say, you do expect the best of the best in restaurants like this, but Fierro and it’s amazing team elevate this to the next level. Every dish carefully and deliciously curated didn’t disappoint at any step, my favourites were the oyster salad, beef and duck dishes.
The maridaje was glorious, and we are already planing to come back only to try the without alcohol one that they make themselves.
Very cozy and intimate as there are only four table, and the service run smooth, friendly and warm overall.
Still waiting for that bread to go tho(joke, because you will love the bread!)

Every time a great experience! High quality food by Ricard Camarena with impecable service without having to get a whole menu. Try the beef tartar which is prepared to taste at your table. A place to come back, just habitual ;)


I had an exceptional experience at this lunch spot. The service was outstanding, with friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The star of the meal was the fish of the day, which was grilled to absolute perfection - tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. While the prices leaned towards the higher side, it's a justified splurge for seafood lovers. The overall atmosphere was welcoming, and I appreciated the attention to detail in presentation. For those seeking delicious seafood with top-notch service, this place is a definite recommendation.


This place perfectly blends high cuisine with authentic Spanish flavors. A great fusion of taste and sophistication. Each dish showcased a creative twist on traditional ingredients, and left an indelible impression. PLUS, the service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring a seamless dining experience. A combination of elegance and Spanish culinary heritage. A must-visit!




How can a business with such a view, such location can suck so badly at the basics. The staff was pretty bad, not sure I have had such poor experience in a loooong time. I had to chase the waiter(a) for just about everything. Waiting, is the name of the game and you will do a lot of that if you don’t go after them to get the menu, place the order, refills, order something else and then you will go to the bar and get the bill. Self service is what’s being served. The place was not busy at all. Just a few tables, at 6pm or so, and many confused patrons trying to figure out the system. Go to ciudad de las artes y ciencias but avoid this place. Well, unless you want to chill, soak in the view and do a lot of waiting (and overpay, but you knew that)



The restaurant is beautiful however the food wasn’t nice. I ordered the duck and it was cold and tasteless. The dessert was ok.
I will recommend this place for the experience but don’t expect too much quality for the food.

Surprised for this to be such a good place as it's not so notable during the day while you walk around.
Definitely a not-so-hidden jewel, Julio's service was impeccable.
Special shout-out to bartender Pollo 🐔 - great cocktails!
An overall fantastic experience, will definitely come back next time I visit Valencia!

Wonderful experience. The place is beautiful and the staff is very kind. The food was delicious.

It was a lovely experience, the service was ABSOLUTELY on point. It was really exciting not knowing what was coming next. We had the red menu with 9 dishes/person. The presentation of the dishes was fun and we loved discovering the dish and the origin of ingredients through the little cards. We were seated in the kitchen area which I believe are the best seats. The atmosphere is lovely and the chef Raquel took her time to explain each dish and make sure we were content.
Dishes were complexe, creative and surprised us in the best way possible.
During the reservation we got asked what food we do not eat and they respected it very well.
My only negative feedback is the size of the dishes for some of the dishes.

Wir haben das Mittagsmenü für 2 Personen genommen. Es gab insgesamt 5 Gänge. Man kann aus verschiedenen Optionen wählen. Wir haben uns für die Paella mit Meeresfrüchten entschieden und waren sehr begeistert. Unglaublich guter Geschmack und guter Service. Spanischkenntnisse nicht erforderlich.











Local pequeño y agradable. La comida es muy rica. Combinación de sabores brutal. Recomiendo 💯.






A very busy spot in a great central location. I had 5 paellas in 3 days in Valencia and this was the best one. Every bite was so filled with seafood which was not the case in the others I tried, seriously it was FULL! It was also deliciously flavourful with perfectly cooked rice. Special shout out to the white sangria which was so refreshing and some of the most tasty I’ve had!






"Contra Punto in Valencia seamlessly blends tradition with innovation. A culinary dance of flavors that resonated with my family and I. A special thanks to Brian for making the experience truly exceptional."



Of the two starters, the tomatoes on bed of figs starter was delicious!
They offer gluten/lactose-free options, relieved.
Beautiful location.

Absolutely lovely experience. Food was exquisite. The fit out is beautiful and not sure why everybody says this is in the shopping centre because it is nowhere near a shopping centre, It is in a beautiful food market. The building is exquisite too, and I highly recommend everyone comes here.

The worst food we ever had. Pasta without any taste, not even salty. Salad different from the menu. And pasta with ketchup as children food. And very expensive. 3 meals for 60 Euros.


Dining in (around) an aquarium is something special. The food was very nice, service very polite and helpfull. Making reservations was easy with Google, made mine the same day in the morning. I'd recommend to book it a bit more in advance. We had the feeling it was a bit rushed? Maybe because you have a time slot of 2h. But when you eat slowly you can easily fill your time and enjoy the experience.




My wife and I have just had one of the best restaurant experiences of our lives at Lienzo. Outstanding in every regard - a beautiful restaurant with incredible staff and above all else a truly exceptional Chef whose food was singing with passion and creative flare. We had the 14 courses all of which were delicious with my personal stand outs being the Pork with valencian bread, the beef with mushrooms and the squid in dashi sauce with squid ink tuille. The squid was one of the best plates I’ve ever tasted. Could not recommend more highly. Thanks so much

We only went once. So maybe this was an unhappy accident.
The short version:
Overly stylized and forced presentation without a consistent level of quality and many un-tasty and poorly seasoned dishes. Served in a location that gives the feel of a cantina, not a pleasant dinner ambiance.
The long version:
Location :
Small place, very bright white walls and ceiling, without any interior design worth mentioning. The spotlights shine In the customers eyes and are unpleasantly bright.
There is no space separation, and since it is a small room, almost void of furniture, the sound carries and you can hear every tables conversation, every scraping of the cutlery.
The service :
Very friendly staff, they all know their monologues describing the dishes. They speak foreign languages (English, French) reasonably well and are welcoming and open to a short conversation or questions about the dishes.
The staff is fine there is no issue here.
The food:
We went for the 14 course tasting menu 'lienzo'.
Unfortunately we did not like it, here is why:
The dishes were for the most part dainty and well presented.
There are some installations, especially from the 5 snacks you get in the beginning that are overly dramatic, like the fake corral tree stumps In which lienzo serves 2 puffed potatoes as an amuse bouche.
This pattern continues throughout the whole menu, the looks and presentation far outweigh the quality and culinary ingenuity.
There were 3 dishes in particular that were badly prepared and had an unpleasant taste. Most other dishes were underseasoned.
The last meat dish, a preparation of beef or veal (it was a little tough to be veal), with a demi glace (they say, but it seemed to me to be a reduced pan sauce) was bland. Lacking salt and the sauce was too thin and had a slight metallic tang that was overwhelming.
The paper thin sliced dried wild mushroom served with it was unpleasantly chewy - maybe a thicker cut slice would offer more of the experience the staff wanted us to experience, namely: "the animals are raised nearby and ecologically. These mushrooms are part of their diet, so we serve them as a side."
Understanding that a tasting menu is just that, and at a low cost as it is with lienzo's 14 course menu (110 € p. P. ) there is not much room for portion size, I cannot help but think, that maybe the focus should not be on the presentation and over engineering of 'pretty plates' but in the first line on the dishes themselves.
The squid dish in dashi, reinforced with garlic and ginger, topped with a squid ink tuille was nice.
It was not necessarily new or never seen before, but it was one of the few plates that had a working concept. The texture of the tuille contrasting the well prepared soft squid, the dashi was balanced and it was seasoned well.
Alright, we did it.
Some last thoughts:
As this was our first experience we are not definitive in our judgment.
Anyone can have a bad day, especially when you need to be as precise as michelin star level quality demands.
This time however you completely missed the target with almost all of the dishes.
Maybe consider what I wrote, focus on the dish first, then plate it.
We whish you bonne chance in your further journey towards great cuisine.

4/5 for the food which was tasty
2/5 for the service - it took over 30 minutes for someone to take our order.
For lunch it was a set menu as the only option, the cheapest of which was €40
Because of the poor service unfortunately, I didn’t feel the experience was worth the money. It shouldn’t take 2 hours to have lunch.
Experience also slightly spoiled by noisy children so just be aware to consider this carefully before planning any special or romantic occasions here.

Both the starters and desserts were delightful. Fum de LLum certainly knows how to create appetizing and satisfying dishes.
The waiter attending to our table was friendly and provided attentive service. However, there was a minor hiccup during our visit.

I reserved a table the same day and when I came the restaurant it was almost empty. The host didn’t let me take a table by aquarium cause she said they all are reserved. I asked what time people are coming? Cause if it’s at 2pm (I came at 1pm) I’ll be gone by then. And still she didn’t let me take any of the tables by the aquarium (at least 10 of them were open). By the time I was done most of those tables were still available.
After I sat down they told me that a la carte menu is not available and I have to have the full menu - 2 starters, main and dessert.
I choose “Mediterranean experience” and requested “no salt” on any of the dishes. First the brought the monkfish carpaccio and it was covered in salt 🤢 The duck was covered in salt as well, I’m on a no salt lifestyle so it tasted gross.
The bread they brought was very dry, I hurt myself trying to bite it. After pointing that out they brought a softer one.
Food was coming out pretty fast.
The food was okay, nothing special. Presentation looked good.
I was hoping the dessert was gonna be my favorite cause it had 2 of my fav ingredients - passion fruit and matcha but nope, it was pretty weird and also salty 🤦🏼♀️
If you want to have a better experience than I did, make sure to reserve a table in advance and put in notes that you want a table by aquarium. And also speak Spanish cause they don’t understand English well 🙈

Sind den Empfehlungen gefolgt und wurden enttäuscht...
Vorspeisen waren ok und die Paella war enttäuschend...sehr wenig Fisch und geschmacklich normal...weit weg von hervorragenden.....keine Empfehlung...rundet den Abend nicht ab...muss man nicht haben...

Very good service. The husband of the chef explains the drinks and the food very well. Wine paring is also great. The food is more interesting than many Michelin starred restaurants but to fully appreciate the food one has to be very open minded. I usually like weird stuff but I still find it hard to appreciate some of the dishes. It was difficult for me to enjoy the Indian spice and the mixture of sweet and savory tastes in some dishes . There are some dishes are really amazing . The matured salmon is my favorite. A taste you will not forget. All in all I don’t regret coming here to try it.



We enjoyed the Azul menu at Karak last Wednesday. A real experience if you want something special… Unforgettable flavours build around 12 colours. Super creative! A very nice restaurant with an enthusiastic chef and professional team, also liked the music very much.









Exzellent! Super Service und sehr sehr gutes Essen. Als Starter Toast mit glaciertem Iberico Schwein und Garnelen Kroketten. Beides wunderbar. Danach Paella mit Meeresfrüchten- auf den Punkt mit Biss und viel Geschmack. Danach ein fantastisches Dessert mit einem gefrorenen Schokoriegel in Zitronensauce. Dazu ein perfekt servierter Espresso- köstlich. Volle Punktzahl und klare Empfehlung!



Just amazing!
The food, from starters, to desserts, was delicious, taste was spot on, texture was spot on.
The waiter who took care of us (I could not catch his name, but a portuguese born gentleman, grey hair) was just as kind, competent, efficient and welcoming as you can get, really really excellent service.
And the atmosphere, just WOW. Eating in a really comfortable lighting, with so much blue around you while schools of fish, or the random ray or shark swims peacefully just at arm’s reach from you is just so relaxing.
HOWEVER, you do pay for this, EXTREMELY expensive, 2 adults and 1 child went over 100€.
Also reservation is mandatory.
The food, from starters, to desserts, was delicious, taste was spot on, texture was spot on.
The waiter who took care of us (I could not catch his name, but a portuguese born gentleman, grey hair) was just as kind, competent, efficient and welcoming as you can get, really really excellent service.
And the atmosphere, just WOW. Eating in a really comfortable lighting, with so much blue around you while schools of fish, or the random ray or shark swims peacefully just at arm’s reach from you is just so relaxing.

Pretty good food and average prices. The best part was watching the robots cart around the food! Fun!










Restaurant opened by famous Michelin Spanish chef, a more affordable but fancy option. We order Russian salad, croquet, artichoke and anchovies for starters. Croquet is amazing and a must to order. We have hake for main and it was okay. The food overall is a bit salty. We have French toast for dessert and we are quite disappointed, too sweet and no layer of it.


Great restaurant for any occasion! Had a business lunch on the terrace. Tasted a few different plates, all were delicious and great presentation! Menu has a variety of dishes for every taste. A must try when in Valencia

All courses were excellent. Prices were more than reasonable for what we got. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Chicken tacos, burger and empanadas especially were good. Will almost certainly come again while in Valencia.












We had another exceptional meal at Toshi. The combination of flavor and the attention to detail set this restaurant apart. you will enjoy small plates that delight and surprise. Plus the service that Toshi and Felix deliver is fun and informative.

















Espectacular lo que hace Toshi en su restaurante. Una puesta en escena muy japonesa, donde la barra sirve de mesa para el comensal y de escenario para disfrutar del espectáculo del sereno trabajo que se desarrolla al otro lado. La cocina es mediterránea, pues el producto es de proximidad, en su mayoría del Mercado Central de Valencia, que está a poco más de quinientos metros del restaurante, pero la inspiración y la técnica es japonesa. Este detalle se aprecia en el tratamiento del pescado y de las verduras. El menú es cerrado y todos los clientes son atendidos a la misma hora, no se empieza hasta que han llegado todos, es decir el horario también es cerrado; se come a las 14:30 y se cena a las 21:00 horas. Los platos que lo componen están determinados de antemano, pero pueden sufrir variaciones en función del producto que cada día encuentre el chef Toshiya Kai en el Mercado, siempre de la mejor calidad.





A great culinary experience. I still can taste the dishes until now. This place was recommended to me by a couple in Madrid. And this is my promise to spread the word.



















Honestly this place blew my mind. I came with high expectations and I can only tell you that every single one of them was easily surpassed.
I loved the restaurant, so minimalistic, elegant and just beautiful. The waiters do such a terrific work walking you through the different courses, the ambiance is so nice.
The food? No words. The creativity and yet simplicity of each dish, their sustainability concept, the fresh local, delicious ingredients.. I loved every single thing I was served in my Lienzo menu, the recommended wine choices were also downright terrific. Conclusion: a MUST visit when in Valencia!

A Flavorful Masterpiece!
Karak offers a truly unforgettable dining experience. The warm and welcoming staff ensures that every guest feels at home, while the stunning presentation and delicious dishes showcase the team's culinary prowess. The carefully selected wine pairings complement each course, but the real highlight is their homemade kombucha pairings, which add a unique and innovative touch to the meal. A must-visit for anyone seeking an exceptional and memorable dining adventure!

Very nice and charming atmosphere. the staff is very friendly, helpful and privodes multilingual service. The background music is chilling and apart from the majority of Spanish restaurants is not loud or noisy. The dishes are very fresh and tasty. Worth recommending when doing a trip to Valencia. Try the 100 Cacao Dessert.








Not what we expected.
The food is not the best one ... just a nice place to eat if you are not hungry.
The food portions are very small, I can't say that they have a great variety of food and the taste is not excellent either. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything to eat, being a vegetarian. I ate fish which was ok'ish but small. The restaurant looks very nice, fancy, but it doesn't excel in anything except the high prices.

Great place. The food was super solid and we totally loved the service. They agreed to switch our son's meal from surprise to "known"main after it proved a bit too much for mildly adventures 13 years old :lol: The only recommendation would be doing something different about the decor. It is a bit too "main stream". Other than that - very much recommended!













I wish I could rate it 5 stars but I was really NOT impressed by the food, service whatsoever.
It’s a bit weird that the restaurant is located inside the food court of a mall.
The venue decoration is nice, elegant.
I liked the idea of open kitchen.
The service was regular, to be a high end place.
Our hostess and waiter seemed to be rushed to seat us feed us and get us out.
We literally sat down had no menus and waiter was pushing already on our orders.
The plates the food was good but nothing to die for at all. The paella was like a normal rice. Disappointed
I wouldn’t go there again.

We shared Tapas for dinner and we really enjoyed the food. The food composition was very creative and the taste was amazing. The restaurant has a very nice and calm atmosphere and also the waiter was very friendly and helpful.







The best and most delicious meal I have ever had! The meal is fully immersive and every course was thoughtfully created and described. The music, design, and wine all added perfectly to the experience. I can not recommend it enough!








We enjoyed lunch in this restaurant while visiting the beautiful Oceanogràfic. We liked the food and the service.











I genuinely can’t imagine that anyone could ever give anything but 5 stars to this most splendid dining experience ever!
We had goosebumps all evening from one dish to another- all of the 10 plates were just genius!
It was new, it was unexpected but again all perfectly well blended into the sensation of flavor in your mouth!
The team were 5 star professionals explaining every single dish and glass of wine - there was just no mistake! We completely relied on their recommendations for every glass of drink we had and every glass was perfect! They appreciate nature and go organic; so one more plus for Rakel and the amazing team of Karak!
We got additional surprise as it was my birthday so I can really say that they work very hard on making everyone who comes there goes out happy!
We will definitely be coming again and I can’t wait for it!

Loved this restaurant and the experience! We were wary at first given reviews about the small portions for food, however we were pleasantly surprised with how full we were and found the serving size decent and delicious! Staff were so lovely and even warned us against ordering an additional dish on top of the set menu as it’ll be too much which we were so glad that they did. Beware you’ll be so distracted by the aquarium surrounding, it’s truly a magical and beautiful experience.













Very innovative and one of the best food in Valencia...The Ambience is very nice with dedicated staff member to serve you the best food. Great collection of wine as well sweet dishes...Strongly recommended to visit .















Literally, the best experience ever!!!
14 dishes set, amazing atmosphere and perfect service!
Highly recommend everyone who is going to visit Valencia

Paratas bravas are good, yet missing a little bit of salt. Americano decaf — too much water... didnt like it. Overall the place is nice for snack or food.










Fine dining at its finest. The whole course was spectacular. We ordered the 75€ menu and it was more than enough!


Family run gastrobar wit Tasty food with a wide variety of options. Friendly and attentive service with a spacious terrace and nice atmosphere











What a lovely night at Toshi! Its a birthday diner I won´t easily forget. Excellent, creative dishes with super fresh ingredients straight from the market, cooked to perfection at a very reasonable price. We drank a bottle of white wine with it, Ekam, after recommendation from Toshi and it was so good. Felix and Toshi are a well oiled team and give you an impeccable service. A food experience you can´t miss when in Valencia!





























Fierro has been our first experience in a 1 Michelin star restaurant.
From the moment we sat on our table until we left, we felt taken care of as we never felt before in a restaurant.
The place has around 5 tables in total, which give you a hint of how special it is.
Carito and German, the chefs and owners of Fierro greeted each table personally and together with their team (7 more persons), they made us travel through our palate.
Each dish has been specially crafted with a level of detail I have never experienced before. Each ingredient thought, specially chosen, support the experience the chefs want you to feel with each bite.
The combination of each dish with the carefully selected wines by the very knowledgeable sommelier Eva Pizarro, resulted in an exceptional combination difficult to match. She was able to explain us why this wine was chosen for each dish, with a light background of it which made it very interesting if you like wine as we do.
The setup of the restaurant is very comfortable, with almost a clear view to the kitchen from any table, where you see the magic happening as each course is carefully crafted with a level of detail as a Swiss watch is produced.
My wife doesn’t eat a lot of things, so they adapted the menu very carefully to ensure she would also have an amazing experience as the rest of us. This shows caring and a high focus in ensuring every person at the table can enjoy the night equally.
For anyone worried about if the food is enough, there are so many dishes that you will feel very satisfied at the end of the 3 hours courses experience. You will feel the rejoice of enjoying so many different flavors in one special night, that you won’t believe it.
I would highly recommend the Fierro experience to anyone wanting to have a fine dinning experience in Valencia.
For us, it has been the best dinning experience we’ve ever had so far.

Beautiful plating and excellent service, a very special meal. The menu was mostly seafood with some Asian inspiration. A couple of the dishes felt like they could have used a bit more seasoning for my palate but overall a very good menu. I would recommend trying their vermouth which is made especially for them.














That menue is so well balanced. Its a concept and you feel and taste it. Whole afternoon was fun with the stuff, enjoyment with the wine and an explosion of taste with the food!
The michelin star is very well deserved. Hope you'll get the 2. One soon. We'll be back from germany to proof it 😀

Perfect place ! Beautiful view. They are kind and respectful. Reservation is easy. The cooker is very good. We took waffle with caviar and cuttlefish as starters. All was damned good !
Fishes are also very well cook. I recommend the tuna. And to conclude, the curry of passion fruit was surprising.
I totally recommend to dinner there.
Be careful on one point : Paella are only serve for midday.

Amazing place with a great concept of their tasting menu.
The waitresses are not "boring" you with a 5 minute monologue before every course with every single ingredient but rather let you guess what's in it and then explain later after you have finished it.
We've had a very smooth relaxing evening here and enjoyed the time and food a lot.
Incredible staff who managed to create a friendly atmosphere.
Will definitely come again when i am in Valencia.

Really good food at good prices for a restaurant situated inside of a museum. The pork ribs are a MUST. Service was a bit slow but that was understandable given that it was full; and there’s a self-serve section so you can’t really complain.




Positive points: it was opened for lunch before 13:30, which in Spain is not taken for granted. One of the attendants were very nice and understood/spoke some English. The food was good. We found place indoor but it was a rainy day and soon it would have no more place.
Negative points: one of the staff was not so friendly, made no effort to help us with the menu and just throw stuff on the table in a fast and rude way. This type of stuff I usually understand, as people sometimes have bad days. The place inside is very small. The menu could have better description of the dishes, it they are to share, if it’s individual, what are they made of… etc. Overall I recommend, if you are around and want to have decent food/drinks while visiting the museums/places nearby.

Very nice restaurant with simple but delicious food.
Staff is very friendly.
Make sure to book as it is always busy.

We had lunch here. Oceanos salad, caesar salad and pasta carbonara plus 2 cappuccinos. It was ok. Very warm in the restaurant so don't go in expecting to escape the heat. Caesar salad was better than the Oceanos which had a weird tasting dressing. We did have a little visitor in the restaurant which was entertaining. Don't feed them though. Another table did and he didn't want to leave...








A great surprise here in Valencia. The food is excellent the taste is fine the price is correct. The only problem here and everywhere in Valencia for a visitor who does not speak Spanish is the inability of communicating easily with servers. Here our server was great and tried his best but we could not have an explanation of our food and it’s combination. Also I love when in a great restaurant the sommelier take care of pouring wine for guest and here we did not have that. By any means I really appreciated the food, location and ambiance.




We had lunch there and it was pretty much OK. The service was very fast and everything was tasty. A little bit overpriced, but nothing serious. It is a good place to sit for a beer if you want to escape from the noise of the crowds outside. I took one star because they did not let us sit by the window because we were only two people , and one star for the price/food ratio.
