⚠ Must-try restaurant near Valencia Science and Art City 🍴
🍚 Alqueria del Pou: Authentic Paella Near Valencia’s City of Arts & Sciences Just finished exploring the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (or planning to visit and feeling hungry)? Alqueria del Pou is a 10-minute walk away—and it’s a must-visit. Here, you’ll find authentic Valencian paella (with chicken, rabbit, and snails) that’s both delicious and affordable. I’ve eaten here so many times, I can order with my eyes closed! 🌟 Must-Try Dishes (No Risks Here) Valencian Paella 🥘 The real deal: saffron-infused rice with tender chicken, rabbit, and snails. The rice soaks up the rich broth, and the crispy socarrat (burnt bottom layer) is pure magic. Pro tip: Ask for less salt—default seasoning can be strong for Chinese palates. Huge portions! Order for one fewer person than your group (e.g., 4 people = 3 portions) to avoid leftovers. Gambas al Ajillo 🦐 Fresh shrimp cooked in garlicky olive oil—garlicky, fragrant, and perfect for sopping up with bread. Juicy, flavorful, and addictive. Fried Calamari 🦑 Crispy, light batter with tender squid inside. Sprinkle with salt and lemon for a zesty kick—great for sharing (or snacking alone). Artichokes 🌱 Seasonal (December–May only), roasted until soft with a subtle, earthy flavor. Refreshing and healthy—ideal for balancing rich dishes. 📍 Practical Info Address: Entrada Rico, 6, Quatre Carreres, 46013 València (10-minute walk from the City of Arts & Sciences). Hours: 13:00–17:00 (closed Sundays). Tip: Call to reserve (962 110 446)—it gets busy! Free parking available for drivers. Whether you’re refueling after sightseeing or (making a trip just for paella), this spot delivers. Affordable, authentic, and consistently delicious—no wonder I keep coming back. #ValenciaPaella #ArtsAndSciencesEats #LocalFavorites
