A Fuego Lento — Restaurant in Valencia

The place itself is cute and charming, and the food was of good quality and well presented. We were however disappointed by portion sizes, lack of garnish, and the misleading menu. The restaurant could easily improve on these points.

The truffled tortilla de patatas was a good concept for a starter, but it was too dry. It would be better if it were a tiny bit more liquid inside.

The main dish we ordered was the steak. The meat itself was delicious, tender, seasoned, and marinated in a very good sauce. However the potion served was ridiculous, just a tiny light piece of meat in the middle of the dish, without any garnishes. The menu announced it came with a garnish of Parmentier, which is universally known as a sort of potato purée, but it turned out to be 4 small dots of sauce - nothing comparable to a garnish. We were all disappointed by the small size and lack of garnish of this dish, especially for its price.

Finally for dessert we took the Lotus cake. It was not a regular sponge cake but a cheesecake, which was the first disappointment about it, as the menu didn’t specify that. It was of good texture and quality, but all 4 guests at the table agreed it didn’t taste at all like Lotus biscuit. Just a regular cheesecake.

We could come again to the restaurant hoping...

What an incredible find near Playa Patacona! I had the pistachio mozzarella pizza at Al Fuego Lento, and it was absolutely unforgettable. The dough is truly next-level — soft, airy, and perfectly blistered in true Neapolitan style. You can tell they care about quality.

The restaurant's decor is modern with a cozy vibe that makes you want to stay longer. And the service? Just wow. Ricardo and Fernando made the whole experience even better — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.

If you're anywhere near Playa Patacona, this place is a must-visit. Definitely recommending it to anyone who appreciates good pizza and...

Great outside diner with friends in the evening (19h-24h). Very nice staff and cosy environment. The menu on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (not 100% sure about the days) is by default a range of shared fresh fish dishes. Perfect for indecisive individuals in large groups. The tuna tartar had a little too much salt for my liking, but overall the food was very tasty. We got offered a new and beautiful wine that went well with the fish. At the end we ordered some extra patatas bravas to fill up the stomach, but with the deserts that came after this might not have been necessary. Thanks for having us...
