Bar El Mercat — Restaurant in Valencia

We come from the Netherlands and we have lunched at "El Mercat" in Valencia. We were served by a very funny guy with a lot of humor. Hé talked us in a nice way on a table for two and we ordered a dry white wine, a bottle of water and some bread with garlic tomato and butter and secondly paella. The funny ober advised us the mjam mjam paella and it was delicious. We ordered another glass of dry white wine and we finished with a cup of espresso coffee. All the time the mjam mjam guy showed his talent for humor and was very hard working. During our lunchtime there were severe people making music and asked afterwards for some coins. We liked it very much and the price was reasonable ! We would recommand this place in Valencia to enjoy your lunch and also enjoy the very nice way of working from the mjam mjam chicken...

One more ATTENTION !!! The price on the bill is not clear, they say the paella is for 2 people, but when you get the bill it will double the price on the menu (a kind of...

This restaurant is located in front of the beautiful building of the Mercado central, the atmosphere is simply beautiful. The food is delicious, the fish is very fresh and the taste is very authentic! Seafood, paella and sangria are really good. And it's not over, the prices are also lower than the average!! Special mention goes to the waiter who does his job with passion, he's a very funny guy and he knows how to put you at ease. Some buskers will also play music in the nearby square and so also music is provided. In conclusion this is a restaurant more than competitive and it sure puts in shame most of the other restaurants in the center who offer you food of less quality for more money. I would (and...
