                <description><![CDATA[This restaurant was recommended by a Valencian friend and it is a great place to go for traditional Spanish home cooking and great value.<br><br>Inside it's decorated with painted Spanish tiles and you can see the food being prepared in the open kitchen. There's a range of typical tapas, seafood and meat dishes - it was good for children as they had some plain dishes like steak, grilled chicken or fish and also some more adventurous things including Paella.<br><br>It's tucked down a small street behind the ceramics museum in the Palacio Marques de Dos Aguas but is worth hunting out. <br><br>You can see my review and photos on my blog; <a target="_new" href="http://heatheronhertravels.blogspot.com/2008/04/evening-out-with-angel-in-valencia.html">heatheronhertravels.blogspot.com/2008/04/evening-out-with-angel-in-valencia.html</a>]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[We stayed over at La Casa Azul which is right in front of the central market and we found this lovely new Gastronomik tapas bar/restaurant called Tapa2.<br><br>We were amazed at what we got - five courses of pure delight, all served with different drinks to wet the palette.<br><br>The owner Eduardo Phillips Blanco (you would be surprised to find out he is English, with that name) and head chef Michael Baering not only provided and served some of the best food we have ever eaten but also entertained us.<br><br>Our meal cost us 35 euros each and that was with all drink included, they do a deal with three tapas dishes and a bottle of vino for 15 euros most nights though.<br><br>Find them off the beaten track, near La Lonja, not the best setting but the restaurant is cool and funky and it hasn't copped on with the Spanish yet.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Close to Plaza de la Virgen down a very quiet alley is this unassuming rather dark restaurant. Excellent food, with a choice of either the €12 lunch of the day or a special Dégustacion menu (which everyone has to choose) for €18. Very good quality modern Valencian cooking.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[L’hamadriada is the stand out new restaurant in Valencia for my money. Serving outstanding grilled meats and rice it’s much more upmarket looking than its modest prices might suggest (€9-€17 three-course menu del dia and tasting menus from €22-€35), cool staff and you get your food pronto (not always the case in Valencia). The location is fantastic — very central but down a side street out of earshot from all the mooked up party noise.]]></description>
