Quina — Restaurant in Valencia

As relatively newcomers to Valencia, we are still exploring. We found this wonderful place while walking around Aragon avenue near Mestalla. We made a reservation via WhatsApp. What a wonderful choice it turned out yo be!

We love Peruvian food in general and what this restaurant has to offer is wonderful indeed.

From the moment we were greeted by the staff, we knew we were in the right place. We greatly enjoyed the superb appetizers, great artisan local beers and gourmet Peruvian delicacies beautifully plated and presented. Every dish was described in detail by the staff and we were asked (most delicately) whether we liked the food. The desserts were to die for. Every dish we tried was an explosion of flavors beautifully fused by the creators of these delicate dishes.

The main problem I have with this place was the flavour- price ratio. I have no problem paying 200 euros for a place that blows my mind. Now - I love peruvian food.

I HAD to post this 5 star review. I mean, it was love at first sight: the restaurant per se is already super cute and cozy, but then the food is just exceptional! Every bite I took it was just melting is my mouth and I felt like the Disney movie Ratatouille when he was eating strawberry-cheese (aka fireworks!!), and the presentation was just (almost) too beautiful to eat. And then just to make it even more special all the ceramic plates were hand made!! If you had never tried Peruvian food, THIS is the place where you can find the best one in Valencia! Last but not least: the owners are super nice and efficient, they can suggest you anything - food and beverages - based on your personal taste. 100%...
