Maleïda dolçor — Restaurant in Valencia

Edit: I've added a photo of the dish to show how little she ate before returning it.

Also, I finished my pasta meal (except for the black olives), she let the server take her pasta meal away half finished. I ate half of the pork, and very little of the potatoes. She ate all of her pork meat and half of the potatoes.

I started the review with two stars. Now that they're lying and smearing my name, it goes down to one star.

Don't go here.

Original:

This was the worst lunch I've had in Valencia, maybe even all of Spain.

My girlfriend ordered the house salad. When it came, it was covered in canned tuna and pickled vegetables. She tried one bite, and it was so bad that she couldn't eat it.

When I asked for them to exchange it for a pasta dish that I had ordered, but without olives, they brought the dish I had with olives, AND made us pay for the first horrible dish.

When the final course arrived, it wasn't much better. The meat was tender, but completely flavorless. I ate about half of it, since I was really hungry, but I was really hoping the dessert would be good so I could end the meal on a good note.

Unfortunately, the dessert wasn't good either.

Lastly, the service was so incredibly slow, even by Spanish...

Just read the most recent review and that guy must have got out of the wrong side of bed or been a particularly bad mood.

I had fantastic experience at this place. A friend from Madrid recommended it as a bit of a 'hidden gem' and it was great. Had a really nice Russian Salad, Some Pork Medallions with Orange sauce and a Pana Cotta for desert. Felt really homemade and was delicious. Nice ambience in the restaurant and great service from the lovely lady that owns the place, tried really hard with her English too which was super sweet. Highly recommended and really...

A true gem of a restaurant. Cheap, quality food and, most of all, quality service. The owner of the restaurant showed us an impressive amount of care. As a vegetarian, finding appropriate food in Spain can prove challenging, but not at Maldita Dulzura. The owner will happily create an original off-menu dish to accommodate your dietary needs and make sure you get the same great experience as any other customer. 1000% recommend and will make this a customary pitstop whenever I go to Valencia....
