Chocolatería Valor — Restaurant in Salamanca

.

Throw the diet away, you're in Valorland!

The traditional chocolate con churros - those long thin, crispy sort of doughnuts that you dunk into your hot chocolate.

The best thing is to dunk them in the chocolate, then into the sugar you have carefully sprinkled on your plate just ready for this.

Then take a bite.

Bet you can't resist eating some more!

All Spanish towns and villages have somewhere that serves this, and very many of them serve Valor chocolate. But here is Valor chocolate made by Valor on the premises.

They have a chain (it's a franchise) over a lot of Spain, but not yet in Andalucia. If you fancy setting up a business selling hot chocolate, churros, waffles, and much more, please please please start it up near where I live in the province of Malaga!

And wherever there are Valor chocolate shops, they are the top place for your chocolate con churros.

So much so that on Saturday and Sunday mornings, there are queues in the street to get in.

Don't bother with breakfast in your hotel. Just ask at Reception for them to show you the Calle Libreros on a map, and come here instead. Cheaper, much cheaper than in the hotel, and so deliciously, wonderfully, marvellous scrumptious.

And whenever you see a supermarket anywhere in Spain, pop in to see if they sell the Valor chocolate to make at home. There is a powder version which is very nice, but the absolutely lip-licking to die for version is the large bar of Chocolate a la Taza. It's a deep maroon colour, costs just over €2.

Buy it, take it home, be...

I recently visited this Valor cafeteria, known for its churros and hot chocolate, and I must express my disappointment with the experience. Upon arrival, my party and I were left unattended for 5-10min despite the establishment not being particularly busy. It was evident that the staff chose to ignore us, which was quite frustrating.

When we finally received our order, the churros were a significant letdown. They were excessively greasy and lacked the traditional taste and texture one expects from this beloved treat. The churros were far from the authentic delight I had hoped for, leaving a greasy aftertaste that marred the experience.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend this Valor cafeteria based on this visit. The service was unacceptably poor, and the quality of the churros failed to meet even basic expectations of...

Una pena que en una chocolatería como esta el trato sea tan nefasto, me resistí a poner una opinión negativa hace 3 semanas pero viendo que este fin de semana la experiencia tampoco ha sido buena me veo obligada a reflejarlo. Hace 3 semanas estando en una mesa de 4 con 4 sillas, una de ellas para un niño de 2 años (que estaba consumiendo) llegó la camarera y sin preguntar cogió la silla le dio la vuelta y se la puso a la mesa de detrás para ubicar a otros clientes ( en este momento el niño estaba levantado cogiendo agua). Y este fin de semana cuando llegamos con carro de bebé el camarero nos indicó que nos abría la puerta de atrás para que pasáramos con el carro y no bajar escaleras ( unas 12) con el niño dentro del carro dormido. Hasta ahí agradecidos, pero nuestra sorpresa fue a la hora de irnos, le pregunto como hago para salir y me dice que la salida es por las escaleras igual que la gente que va andando que bastante que me había abierto la puerta para entrar, a lo cual le contesté que si eso me lo informa antes directamente no entro , porque no voy a subir 12 escalones con un carro y un bebé teniendo una puerta habilitada para ello. No contento con esto debe ser que su trato suele ser así porque a los señores que esperaban detrás nuestro para sentarse (2 parejas mayores) les dijo imponiendo con muy malos modos: vais a bajar abajo y os vais a sentar en una mesa de cuatro sillas cuadrada, porque si bajo y os habéis sentado en una más grande os levanto ( palabras textuales). Una pena que pierdan la clientela por...
