Martinot — Restaurant in Valencia

Excellent food and service in this typical Spanish restaurant funnily located in between wheat storage silos and a high road. My friend and myself cycled by the day prior and the place looked really inviting and traditional. So we decided to try it the day after, we arrived relatively early, just after midday but we were made to feel very welcome by the staff who were still getting the place ready, we ordered steamed mussels and patatas Bravas for starters, both were excellent, the mussels with their lemon and wine gravy and the potatoes with their garlic mayonnaise. We then went for a traditional Paella Valentiana for 2 which was absolutely delicious, it takes about 40 mn to cook but worth all the wait. Paella is a saffron rice based dish cooked with rabbit, chicken, snails, beans, artichokes and peppers. There are no mussels or chorizo. You eat it directly off the flat copper dish (paella) it's cooked in. Mila, our fantastic waitress, who recommended the traditional Paella rather than the mixed or seafood ones also available on the menu, was so attentive, friendly and made the whole experience even better. Reasonably priced, this is definitely a must and highly highly recommended. And because of its quirky location (I think!), the place is essentially frequented by locals who obviously know...

I loved this place! We came here twice during our stay in Madrid, and I wish we could have come more often to try out more things. The salmon pinchos we got were INCREDIBLE and I still crave it now. Everything there seemed so fresh and yummy, and it was reflected on how crowded it was inside the building.

Everything we had there was delicious and/or interesting.. we saw many people get pan fried peppers with salt so we tried it too. It was different, and made a good accompaniment to beer, but not something we would get again. The olives were fresh and excellent. As another reviewer said, some of the food is heated in a microwave. Because of that and the prices, I docked a star. However, this is an incredible place with lots to taste and drink, and I highly recommend checking it out at least once.

As a side note, I really liked the convenience of just being able to put my beer glass wherever I was, despite the fact that I moved around eating different things. I saw someone collect them all at the end of the night and return them to their...

Hacia tiempo que no ponía una reseña regulinchi, pero esta vez lo merece:

1.- Como te pongan en la terraza al lado del castillo hinchable con 20 niños dentro saltando y gritando... te vas a tirar toda la comida en vez de comer arroz, diciendo "ssshhh" a los de la mesa de al lado y ellos a ti, porque no se puede estar de los gritos de los críos que parece que eso sea el fin del mundo que lo unico que quieres es en vez de comer que se pinche el castillo de aire.. en fin que entablar una conversación es hacerlo a un nivel de decibelios para perder audición.

2.- Tienen una camarera muy profesional, con muy buen trato y educación que te sabe colar la tapa de pan con tomate rallao y alioli que lo pides decidido tras esa manera tan sencilla y a la par suculenta de presentárselo, vamos que te la cuela pero bien colada... pues bien, 8 cortes de pan del mercadona, un pegote de tomate y otro de alioli... 20 pavos así sin más.. ole por esa camarera (ironia).

3.- La tarta de queso "casera"... en fin quien se lo crea que están fermentado ellos el queso y elaborando la tarta la tienen clara.... eso es más típico de la marca POSTRES REINA que otra cosa... (por cierto el toque de nata caliente invita a un día de visitas al retrete entretenida).

4.- Como vayas lisiado como yo con la pierna mal y no conozcas el sitio... verás que tienen una zona de estacionamiento pequeña delante del restaurante al lado de la carretera (no lo intentes, peor que aparcar en fallas) así que después de aparcar a 500metros te das cuen como diría chiquito de la calzada, que detrás tienen un parking enorme.... alguien les puede decir que en pleno siglo XXI existe una cosa que se llama SEÑAL?! vamos con que 4 clientes se pidan la tapita de pan, tomate y alioli que he dicho... puede comprar una señal informativa y ponerla.. (de nada por el consejo).

Pero bueno, la mejor puntilla que he probado la de alli, DELICIOSA, esa tapa si que es de decir, lo pago pero lo como agusto. Buenísima súper recomendable.. así que gracias a la puntilla, le doy 3 estrellas (las patatas bravas de cacahuete,,, esos inventos déjenlos a David Muñoz).

En fin, que yo no vuelvo, los chipirones buenísimos pero no, no vuelvo. Aunque hay sitios peores las...
