La botifarra — Restaurant in Valencia

This little bistro is absolutely fabulous on many fronts: the food is delicious, plentiful and varied. George the owner and chef, can make a potato so flavoured, with many variations of sauces and spice. The prices are very reasonable as well. The ambiance and decor is absolutely fabulous, especially for such a small place. Then there is George and his charming assistant, they are both wonderful people who will entertain you with their conversation, although my Spanish is virtually non existent, George can speak some English, and if you speak slowly, he makes a concerted effort to understand you.

Not many places open on a Monday... We asked a construction worker in the area to suggest a place and he directed us here, saying "tell them a Claudio".

Our group of seven adults highly recommends the Turia Cerveza, the Paris Hilton (a sort of skillet dinner made in a small paella dish), the Grilled Goat Cheese, the Meatballs like your grandmother makes, and the Chicken Skewer with vegetables, Potatos del Rico...¡everything we had!
