Canyamel - Valencia

Restaurant with very good price/quality ratio. We ate a salad from the house, a sepia and then a vegetable paella. with beers rations of alioli bread and a dessert lemon ice cream. all euros. We were spared half the paella that prepared us to carry on two tapers. the attention of the waitress, claudia, excellent. we ate on the terrace, in the sun. a delight.

We went to this place mostly because all the other restaurants were closed. The only positive thing about this place is a big parking lot. About the food we ordered patatas bravas and mejillones as starters, then vegetable and seafood paella. Mejillones were decent, although many of the shells were empty. Patatas bravas were okay, but instead of that nice, slightly spicy sauce they used regular ketchup. And for the paellas the seafood one didn’t taste too bad (I guess that’s a win at this restaurant), but they literally put 4 shrimps on top and that’s all. The vegetable paella was absolutely terrible. It was greasy, they probably didn’t use salt at all and the rice was undercooked. We ate like 1/4 of it and couldn’t eat more. When we complained to the waitress, her argument was that ‘yeah she doesn’t like vegetables’. We didn’t want a refund or anything, a simple sorry would be enough. Save your time and money and don’t go to this place.

We stopped by for lunch, mostly because parking here was easy, which can't be said for all of El Palmar. We had a combined paella, which we enjoyed even if it was a bit on the fat side. I guess you could say both the food and the experience as a whole was average.

Our local friend recommended us this place for its great paella. Indeed the paella was very tasty, simply exceptional. The waiter was also very nice.

Most of the restaurants in this area were closed possibly due to the end of the season. We just wanted a light lunch and a drink. We were the only ones there, ordering an orange juice (fresh) and a seafood omelette each, the cost of these two omelettes was 20 euros each, so we thought they would be great. No so, maybe one egg was used each the filling was a few small prawns and little else the orange juice turned out to be a Fanta look alike. The whole meal having waited some time for was a rip off, I would not recommend this place.
