Coffees, dinner, breakfast, lunch, sweets and drinks. We disovered the best food in Valencia! We have been in beautiful Valencia three times already and know where to find the best and most special places. You’ll find most of our hotspots in the ares of trendy Ruzafa and the historic centre El Carmen.
Flying Bean coffee
@flyingbeancoffee is open every day and also has lots of space inside. Love how they renovated the building! This is a place where there’s passion for coffee. The owner also roasts coffee beans and gives workshops & tastings. On the picture; their delicious affogato .
Blackbird
@blackbirdvlc we’ve had one of the best cold brews ever! This cool and retro place also has VERY good pastries to go with your coffee.
Mikengo
For good specialty coffee near the beach of Valencia visit @mikengocafe. Also a great spot for a healthy lunch!
Maybean
@maybean_valencia is a super trendy place serving conscious food and coffees. Here you can also opt for oat milk and vegan desserts, which is still quite unique in Spain. They also offer some places for remote working. Love it!
Blue Bell
@bluebellcoffeeco is located in the hipster district ‘Ruzafa’ and is a busy, but cozy place! Tip; they also serve great smoothies and juices.
Cult café
For special iced coffees go to @cultcafevlc in the old center. We’ve had the iced bombon latte, a specialty with condensed milk.. so good!
FOUR C&B Valencia
⋆ Don’t miss @4.coffeebistro! They specialize in amazing ‘egg drop’ sandwiches on the most delicious brioche bread (which vegetarian and vegan options!) and fresh bagels. You can come here for breakfast, brunch & lunch.
Maybean cafe
⋆ @maybean_valencia is an awesome hipster place and serves healthy and creative dishes with lots of flavour! They also offer several places to work remote. Other recommendations; the energy balls and vegan smoothies!

Kukla
⋆ @kukla.valencia serves classic Middle-Eastern dishes with their own twist. We were surprised by the muhammara with a creme brulee layer, fantastic! Very good falafel and hummus as well. Definitely visit this one! Not touristy and a nice location.
Masusa
⋆ All kinds of paella are made at @masusabar. This restaurant definitely has its own identity due to the very passionate and kind staff. We tried the ‘black paella’ with fish, prawns and squid ink. Beautiful and delicious. We advice you to make a reservation!
Ryoko
⋆ If you’re in for Asian fusion cuisine, we highly recommend @ryokovalencia. This restaurant, opened by amazing chef @chefadamvboyer, has definitely been one of the food highlights of our stay in Valencia. The menu offers varied and affordable shared dining dishes – from sushi and ceviche to crispy cauliflower and ramen croquettes (try them!). The quality and creativity of the dishes really stand out and make for a welcome change from the many traditional restaurants in Valencia.
Vermudez
⋆ For good Spanish tapas, we recommend @vermudez.es. A busy and cozy place with a large selection of vegetarian tapas as well. Don’t forget dessert; the French toast with horchata and hazelnut ice cream is to die for.
Voltereta
⋆ If you want to dine in a nice setting, visit ‘Bienvenido a Bali’ by @volteretavalencia. Through the impressive entrance you enter a beautiful garden! The menu is a selection of small shared dining dishes with an Asian twist. A must go if you’re in the mood for a trendy atmosphere.
Vive Vino
Our interest in natural wines brought us to @vivevino_winebar, For a special wine in Valencia, this is the place to be! They serve traditional tasty appetizers to go with your wine, like a cheese board and delicious olives.
Cafe de las Horas
@cafedelashoras is famous for the best agua de Valencia so we couldn’t resist to try it out! A little touristy but a very cosy street to enjoy an agua de Valencia in the afternoon.
Cafe Berlin
@cafeberlinvalencia is a cool retro cocktailbar where we had cocktails after dinner!
La Finestra
Take a break at @lafinestraruzafa with a beer and super fresh little pizza! The owner makes for you what he feels like at that moment, super original! You can pass on any dietary requirements. A local and friendly place in the trendy Ruzafa district.
Blackbird
We mentioned @blackbirdvlc for coffee, but their pastry isn’t less special! Delicious homemade pastries are waiting for you in the counter. We absolutely loved this smooth cake with almonds and cherries!
4 Coffee bistro
For an amazing and fresh doughnut, visit @4.coffeebistro! They are super fresh and available in all kinds of colors and with delicious fillings. Check their page to see more beautiful creations!
Passage a Paris
@passageaparis is a cute little French bakery where you can get macarons, puff pastry and for example this lovely dessert with strawberries and vanilla cream. We had it right in front of the @ciudadartesciencias, perfect!
The Baker
For fresh, artisanal bread to go with some Spanish aioli we recommend @thebaker.valencia. It can be difficult to find some good bread in Spain, so we were quite happy with this crispy and healthy baguette!
Limon y Merengue
Sadly for us, @limonymerengue was temporary closed when we got there. But since we are so sure this is an amazing bakery, we want to mention it anyway! I’m sure we will be back!
