L'Estibador — Restaurant in Valencia

Overall pleased with the food, but I think service can be improved. Despite raising our hand - we need to wait until they get our attention so we can order. But to be fair - staff is very friendly.

We’ve started with cool drinks Cerveza, Coca-Cola, y Tinto de Verano.

Our food: Tomate Pelado (Tomato and Anchovies Salad) Pescaditos de la lonja en fritura (Fried Anchovies) Bravisimas NOTE: When they’ve asked you for bread - it’s not for free, you’re also going to pay for that.

Salad overall is okay - for me, the cheese didn’t go well with the salty flavor of Anchovies. Fried Anchovies flavor was there - but it’s not as crunchy as how we know it supposed to. And Potatoes, great taste and just nicely cooked. I think we paid around 50€

This restaurant has a good beach view that I believe requires you to reserve a table, especially in perfect sunny weather. We were sitting at the back because we just walked in - but great ambiance.

Overall, we don't mind coming back, especially if we want to experience the beach view with refreshing drinks & food, and hopefully, staff will be more attentive...

We arrived at 3:45 pm without a reservation and were told they could serve us. We had the worst experience ever. From the start the waitress gave us attitude and rushed us to order, she told us the rice would take 45 minutes to which we agreed. After 30 minutes she came to tell us we couldn't order two types of rice, the menu states it is ok while ordering 2 portions and a maximum of two flavors per table. We agreed on just one flavor. After 2 hours of waiting we were told the rice was burned and they had started a new preparation which took 15 minutes. She gave us two little starters to keep us waiting. After 20 minutes I approached the waiter to tell her we were leaving then she arrived with the rice. It was undercooked and salty. The head of waiters told us to order dessert so she could ensure it was coming, but after that experience, we didn't want dessert. We had to eat the food while the waiters kicked the chairs to put them next to us. We felt awful and rushed. The only good thing is that she didn't charge us for the rice. I don’t know if this is because we didn't have a...

Very satisfied with the experience. We were four people looking for a place to have a nice vegetarian rice on a Sunday. Not looking for a big lunch, we were looking mostly for a good rice and some starter without getting too full. At 13:30 we managed to book a table and the paella for 15:30. We had sepia as a starter, drinking water and having a paella of veggies with deserts (maracuya pie and apple pie). Everything summed up to 90euros. We even got compensated for the tiny delay on getting the deserts (in any case, it was short waiting times), so that helped to value even more the service offered! Total cost ended up being about 21e per person. The place can get a bit noisy when full, but nothing too bad, it is still possible to talk without shouting to each other :D Would love to visit in the near future to try...
