Valen (Morocco 🇲🇦 Restaurant 🍴)

🏜️ Restaurante Marrakech: Authentic Moroccan Flavors in Valencia Last September, my family and I spent 7 days in Morocco—and the dish that stuck with me most? Their tagine. So you can imagine my excitement when I found this authentic Moroccan restaurant in Valencia! If it’s your first visit, I highly recommend their set menu—it’s a steal, including a drink and dessert. 🍽️ What We Ate Starters (Unified for All) 🥗 A delicious spread of hummus (creamy, garlicky), zaaluk (smoky eggplant dip), falafel (crispy, herb-packed), and tabbouleh (fresh parsley and bulgur salad). The perfect intro to Moroccan flavors—bright, fresh, and great for sharing. Mains: Bastela de pollo 🐔 A unique sweet-savory dish: flaky phyllo pastry filled with spiced chicken, almonds, and a hint of cinnamon. The contrast of salty meat and subtle sweetness is addictive. Tagine de cordero 🐑 Just like the ones I loved in Morocco! Tender lamb slow-cooked with warm spices (cumin, coriander, maybe a touch of saffron) and dried fruits, served in a traditional tagine pot. Rich, aromatic, and so comforting. Dessert: Randomly selected Moroccan sweets (think honey-drenched pastries or nut-filled treats) served with mint tea—refreshing and the perfect end to the meal. 🥤 Drink Recommendations Limonada con hierbabuena 🍋 Fresh lemonade with mint—zesty, cooling, and ideal for balancing spices. Te mentolado 🌿 Traditional Moroccan mint tea—sweet, fragrant, and a must-try (it’s more than just a drink; it’s part of the experience). ✨ The Vibe The decor is pure traditional Moroccan: think intricate patterns, warm colors, and a cozy, exotic atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a Marrakech riad. Restaurante Marrakech brings a slice of Morocco to Valencia—and does it flawlessly. For authentic tagines, bold spices, and a taste of North African warmth, this is your spot. 📍 Address: Carrer del Verger, 1, 46003 València #ValenciaMoroccan #TagineLovers #GlobalFlavors
