Pelayo Gastro Trinquet
There is no doubt that Pelayo Gastro Trinquet deserves to top this list of coolest restaurants in Valencia. After all, being in the antechamber of the “Cathedral” of Valencian pelota makes us part of its history.
We are in the oldest covered sports venue in Europe, turning it into a project that combines sport and gastronomy. The décor was designed by Carlos Serra and his studio Mercader de Indias. The venue’s flagship feature is the large central sculpture: a pelota player’s hand over 3 meters tall; such a tribute to Valencian culture earned us the Valencia Hospitality Design Award 2024.
Pelayo Gastro Trinquet’s culinary offering is in the hands of executive chef Pablo Margós and head chef Chimo Faubell. Traditional Valencian cuisine is our main source of inspiration, as shown by specialties such as duck rice and titaina marinera; special mention should go to the bunyol de l’Albufera, winner of the Best Native Tapa in the Valencian Community 2025 award.

La Sastrería
Since opening in 2020, La Sastrería has become one of the best restaurants in Cabanyal. The establishment owes its name to the business that came before it: a 1950s fabric shop. The menu, with specialties such as López anchovy and grilled octopus, pays tribute to the Mediterranean Sea. Several publications specializing in architecture and design praise its carefully crafted vintage interior design, created by the Masquespacio studio.

Voltereta Kioto
There are many sushi restaurants in Valencia, but few have décor as impressive as Voltereta Kyoto. Its interior design is based on a double time setting: the past area (year 1256) and the future area (year 3050–3100), both connected by a secret door. Specialties such as eel and foie uramaki live up to such an original setting.

El Camerino Ruzafa
It would be unthinkable to write a post about nice restaurants in Valencia and not include a place like El Camerino Ruzafa. In fact, the Bodegón Cabine studio has created a space that faithfully recreates a theatrical atmosphere, and it was nominated for the Restaurant and Bar Awards 2020 for that reason. Do not miss its artist’s salad!

Vuelve Carolina
Located in the very heart of Valencia, Vuelve Carolina is synonymous with gastronomic and decorative fusion. Its open-plan interior, besides paying tribute to Grace Kelly, combines two settings: the vertical garden and the Nordic space. With dishes as exquisite as creative patatas bravas and sea bass ceviche, it is no surprise that it is included in the Michelin Guide.

Living Bakkali is another one of those places that cannot be missing from a top list devoted to nice restaurants in Valencia. Indeed, its Middle East-inspired interior is its most distinctive feature. So much so that it was the only Spanish restaurant nominated for the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2022. It is the ideal setting to savor a delicious chicken bao bun or some shrimp croquettes.

La Salita
Awarded 3 Repsol Suns and 1 Michelin Star, La Salita has been delighting us since 2005 with the savoir-faire of chef Begoña Rodrigo. Her undeniable talent is clearly shown in the almond sardajo and parsnip with mojo verde. The fact that it is set in an 18th-century mansion adds greatly to its décor.
