Restaurante La Platea — Restaurant in Valencia

If you like yourself and don't want all joy sucked out from your life, please don't go here. Would NOT recommend. The food is really something I would be ashamed to serve, let alone charge someone for it. For starters we had spaghetti with pesto and cheese - was overcooked and stale. I had salmon tartare, with mango and avocado. Cannot call it tartare if the salmon is cooked. Not terrible, but not good either. The the main dish, oh lord. We had cod gratin and lobster rice. Cannot call it cod gratin - potatoes completely overcooked, stale and weird taste. Cod was barely digestible. And lobster rice, I don't even know what to say. Rice was super watery and again, overcooked. There was not meat, 1 small gamber and 1 piece of small squid. The rest was just rice with weird orange soup. We didn't opt for desert due to the rest of the food being so bad, so we ordered coffee. Cannot mess up a cup of coffee right? Wrong. They use some weird coffee beans, horrible taste. I guess this is considered a cheap meal while you are shopping, but this is really below any standard. Would NOT...

Traditional cuisine and good service Saturday night we found a menu which seemed interesting. We went in. The service was patient and helpful. The dishes were tasteful and the environment was quiet. We went for a chicken salad and some croquettes to start and tuna fillet and broken eggs as the main courses . The desserts, flan and pudding rice, were homemade. The final price was around 16euros/person. Great experience. Although the quality was nice I would appreciate bigger dishes. I...

Fuimos a Valencia de voluntarios y estábamos alojados en el hotel del centro comercial. Era sábado por la noche y dimos una vuelta por el centro buscando un sitio para cenar. Estaban todos llenos y teníamos que hacer cola, excepto "La Platea" que estaba totalmente vacía....bueno, entramos, total, el menú eran 30€ para 2 personas, no es caro. Pues resulta que si es caro. Pedimos unos primeros que eran unas obleas con trozos de pollo y mucho guacamole, para mi, picaban bastante, pero eso es gusto particular . Comí poco. De segundo le pido un filete de entrecot, al punto. Me trae el filete..... al punto.......al punto que quiso el cocinero o sea negro, pasadisimo, (daba la sensación visual que era del servicio de la comida y les había sobrado)Se lo digo a la chica y me dice pues eso,que se ve que está pasado y que es lo que hay. Resultado, para cenar "algo", le pedí aceite y acabé cenando el pan con aceite....No me había pasado nunca. De postre le pedí algo que no fuera casero y me trajo una tarta de queso que estaba buena. Después de cenar entiendes por qué este local estaba vacío y los demás llenos. En resumen lo mejor del local,el...
