Trenca Dish - Valencia

This a little hidden gem of a restaurant recommended to us by a local, A fabulous tasting menu, embellished by modestly priced wines, served by the friendliest of staff in a very atmospheric lower ground floor once, we were, told was a women's gaol in the 17th century A very fitting end to a great couple of days in Valencia

Had lunch here with hubby. The food was good but nothing to write home about. First off, they had no menus in English. So much for the tourist friendliness that everybody raves about. So the waitress did her best trying to explain the options we had. We chose the 25€ menu/ person, which consisted of 4 apetisers and 1 main and 1 desert for each. So far so good. Problem was the minuscule portions. What should have been one portion was actually having to be divided to two people. But the desert was mindblowing: 2 crumbs of what must have been a brownie at some point and 3 tea spoons of chocolate mousse ! Absolute awe from our part!!! If you are ever looking for some good Spanish food, chose a tapas bar instead. They are good quality, good value and honest portion wise, and you can have half portions if you wish.

We went at lunch time, which means that inly the lunch menu was available. This said, the value for money is very good. The three starters are included, a salad with burata, vegetables in tempura and a very nice variation of seasonable mushrooms. As main dish, a traditional “arroz”, a iberico pork filet and a fish offered enough variation. Two desserts, somehow more experimental (both with a hint of fresh cheese) completed the experience. We followed the advice of a local wine and were not disappointed. Would go again.

Had such an amazing experience at this restaurant. First of all, our waitress, Laura was so nice and gave us excellent service. The quality of the food tasted authentic and everything was so flavorful. I highly recommend this place if you are ever in Valencia.
