Twenty Restaurants in the Centre of Valencia, Spain A Guide to Eating Tapas, Paellas, Wine, Ham and Understanding Menus

By Marc Luxen

I went to live in Valencia to write a Dutch and a Dutch-Indonesian cookbook, and have eaten at many places here while I have been doing that (the books are nearly finished). I live in El Carmen, the old town, and I decided to write this short book about eating in El Carmen, and the peculiarities of eating in Spain. A specialised little book like this can do a much better job than bigger guides. Twenty local restaurants that my friends and I like. Simple workmen's places with nice locations, and all right, places where they serve modern food, and classic places, one mentioned in the Michelin guide, a nice mix. Following is a list of restaurants where you can go and experience good food. With phone numbers, opening times, a clear map, a link to Google maps so you can use your smartphone to find these places easily, and a short description of what to expect. In the print version there is also QR code as well as link to Google Maps, so you can scan with your mobile directly to Google maps. Last, a list of Spanish food terms.First, I will tell you something about the peculiarities of eating in Spain. The Siesta system, the "paella system", all about ham, wine and other important drinks, and the menu del dia. Then I will give you a list of common dishes you can use when deciphering a menu or what a waiter is trying to tell you.
