Can you even say you’ve been to Valencia if you haven’t tried some of its traditional foods and drinks? Valencia is famous for its paella and horchata, but there’s so much more deliciousness to discover…

Have you ever tried Lebanese cuisine? If not, make sure to try Beirut Restaurantes’ delicacies. These restaurants definitely belong to our list of favorites and have been one of the most popular Lebanese in Valencia since 1995. You’re not gonna want to miss this…

No, this is not a dog bar (I wish, how awesome would that be?), this is one of the best and most popular tapas bars in Valencia. Enjoy the flavors of traditional tapas and local wine for super wallet-friendly prices. Bodega Fila El Labrador proves that cheap doesn’t equal bad quality. Vamos? Vamos!

Did you know there’s a whole empanada world in Valencia? No? Well, in that case, you might have a serious case of empanada deprivation. We’ve found one of the best solutions, though. Trust me, you need to discover Dempanadas’ homemade, Argentinian pieces of art.

On a hot Summer’s day, one of my friends wanted to cool down and catch up at Federal Café. She’d heard great stories about it and wanted to find out for herself. As it turns out: you can totally dream the day away while sipping on some Australian coffee. Is there more to it? You bet! If you’re looking for a great, trendy, brunch spot – this cafe should be on your must-visit list.

There’s no doubt you can find lots of Italian restaurants in Valencia, but are they as cozy and romantic as our favorite trattoria? That’s the question. We adore Lambrusquería and that’s not just because of the amazing atmosphere – we’ve munched on their tasty dishes very often. Trust me, these Italians have it all.

If you say Fábrica de Hielo, I say one of the most unique and artistic chill-out spots next to the beach of Valencia’s El Cabanyal. Friends, this old ice factory is a must-visit. Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call… and I’ll be there ;-)

This is one of my go-to healthy cafes in Ruzafa. It’s the perfect place to grab something healthy, have some downtime on their patio, listen to live music and follow a workshop while enjoying the laid-back atmosphere. But it doesn’t stop there, Artysana offers even more goodness. Artists and art enthusiasts of Valencia, stay tuned…
