Really unique dining experience from beginning to end. We had the main tasting menu with a wine pairing. The food was generally quite good and the story they tell with each course is worth your time, but some of the dishes were either being tested or just didn’t belong on the menu. The wine pairing started off strong, but the last half was barely palatable and didn’t enhance the food. I’d skip the pairing and go with a light wine to pair more consistently with the largely vegetable and fish based meal. Overall, I’d recommend a visit and would return once the menu has been updated.

From the moment you walk in, it feels like you’re somehow in a completely different space, completely isolated from the busy streets of Valencia on the outside. The whole team does an outstanding job at explaining the concept behind their menu, every single plate you get served, and overall, ensuring a wonderful experience. The restaurant is beautiful and the whole atmosphere makes you enjoy everything so much more. The food was the best I’ve tried in my entire life. I think that sums it up pretty good, because if I would go into detail this review would be way too long. All I can say is that this restaurant is a once in a lifetime culinary experience and I would recommend this to anyone. Safe to say, I will hopefully be back!

I tried this place and it never seized to amaze me. The food, service, elegance and their accommodations to my taste preferences was exceptional. This is literally the best place to try a fine dining Mediterranean restaurant with a super fancy ambiance.

This is the epitome of fine dining and world class service! This restaurant is an experience in itself and worth trying it during special occasions! Their food selection is impressive and very flavourful, very much seafood based too!

Wonderful experience, from entering until leaving the restaurant, every moment was well taken care of. The service is top notch, staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The whole night felt like I was being invited to Chef Ricard’s home and shown how ingredients can be fully utilized and prepared creatively. Highly recommend to those who care about sustainability while enjoying a delightful tour of Mediterranean cuisine

The tasting menu was a mind blowing adventure, and the first few items were served to us next to the kitchen by chef Camarena himself. Service was impeccable and very friendly and accommodating. It was an absolutely incredible experience and we will definitely be back in the future.

6th stop in our Spanish East coast Michelin tour. You can read the other reviews on my profile and follow. A universe at the cutting edge, yet made accessible. As usual, I’ll focus on what’s interesting in my reviews. But here, there’s way to many things to say. So let me start by the end, the 3 stars in Spain should be worried, because the competition from the 2 stars is serious, especially this one. I’ll just take two angles, just to attempt to explain the incredible level your in. Interestingly, when you enter, you’ll see plenty of books about gastronomy, and you ll find more later on. There are not there just for display. There are there because there’s a true thinking about gastronomy and its evolution. For instance, the work around fermentation, is at the cutting edge in Michelin stars (it’s growing but plenty are not even there). Or the fact that some dishes have an entry note and then evolve like a great wine. Another interesting point is that they have their vegetable garden, and use every part of their products. This naturally creates links between dishes which create a constancy, almost like every dish is from the same universe. And that’s my main point. You feel that you’re entering in an universe, Ricardo Camarena universe, and a very welcoming one thanks to the brigade de salle. But this universe makes sense, you can feel it’s strong coherence. From the deep knowledge of the gastronomic world and history, the attention to taste and its mechanisms, the respect of the nature and the creativity to use every part of nature’s gift, it all makes sense. I could stop there, but I have to thank the team for their work, with a special one to Salvatore. Passard and Piège are the two names that came to my mind there, if you want references. It’s clearly a top tiers 2 stars and a very strong contender to a 3rd one. And I’ve tried many (more reviews are coming, I promise!). Judging by the level is bringing on the table, the 3 stars have serious competition!

Absolutely impeccable. Visited Ricard Camarena for my 32nd birthday and it was an incredible experience, from the food to the service. Make your reservations and you won’t be disappointed.

You can find barely everything there. Fresh meat, cheese and fish downstairs also vegetables and fruits and dried fruit. There is also a big market that sells bathroom things and beauty stuff. In front of it there is a nice square with flowers shops and a bar where you can eat tapas, that's also inside the Mercado!!

Now fully aircon with meat upstairs and fruit & veg & fish downstairs. Loads of little bars inside round the edge for drinks and snacks and lovely flower market at the back with another cafe bar.

A wonderful and genuine food market with a wide supply of not least seafood but also, e.g., charcuteries. Here I also bought the beat chocolate cake I ever tasted.

It's always a great idea to go to the markets they have such a variety of foods not just meats and cheeses but also cafes, sweets and a bit of everything. The staff there all seem really friendly although there can be a lot of people there. Well worth a visit!

This is the place to be for your tapas cravings, fresh meat, seafoods, produce and many more! There are some bakeries inside too that sell a variety of tasty Spanish cakes, pastries and bread. This market is a walking distance to our hotel so it’s hard to miss. It can also be easily reached by a bus or a metro. At the back of the Market there’s a tiny “plaza” with tables and chairs and close by is a cafe where you can order your drinks. Next to it too are arrays of shops selling a selection of colorful fresh flowers. Visited on a Saturday morning and the market was quite busy but not crowded.

What a discovery. This market can easily compete with the ones in Barcelona and Valencia. The assortment is amazing and the prices normal and not for tourists. I am sure we will make this a weekly trip

This is a must go place for those who love going to local markets. I really enjoyed seeing seeing a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and processed meat and sausages. A bit touristic but I see a lot of locals also shop here. We can really get a glimpse of local products, and this market is centrally located, so it is easy to reach.

Amazing traditional Spanish market lots of choice if you are looking for fresh produce. Meat,fish and veg. Some quaint little tapas bars inside to try.

The food there is so good and such great quality!! We bought dates, wine, ham etc. and the people were really friendly. We were able to try most of the things we wanted to buy.

The Central Market is awesome! Mainly meat upstairs and fish downstairs, with a few tapas bars on both floors. There are also public toilets here. I went late on Saturday afternoon and the shops were starting to pack away and the tapas bars were very busy. I really wanted to try a tapas bar but it was too busy for someone who doesn't speak Spanish. I will try again earlier in the day and on a weekday.

Great market for fresh produce. Prices are great, just as in the supermarket, but you get better things. You can also buy flowers outside of the market att the stalls. The have stalls for olives, meats, bread and baked goods, fish and seafood, nuts and dried fruits, cheeses, fruit and vegetables and much more. I recommend going early in the morning to get the best things. Also to buy some local foods to try and maybe have a picknick with. A must visit in Alicante.

Kind of meat, fish, veg and fruit market. Great choice of everything that is fresh. It is very expensive but you are paying for high quality food. I have never seen better asparagus than in this place. As a British tourist I was very impressed and end up going there every 3 days.Again the prices are very high. There's no fish on Mondays and it's closed on Sundays. Beware of the locals they tend to jump the queue a lot but some stands use tickets numbers so be vigilant otherwise you end up waiting your turn for ages. Importantly most fish sellers are honest and gave me change back because i made lots of mistakes using the euros.

Fantastic food market in the heart of Alicante. Head here for an authentic atmosphere and to buy some of the best food products of Spain. There's also a selection of small, friendly sit-by restaurants on the edges of the market.

On of Alicantes jewels. Enjoyed market, lunch with freshly prepared fish, beer and cava. Another spot here for enjoying drinks and tapas Bar central. We added also strawberries from the near fruit stand. This was Michelin experience in my taste.😃

The city's biggest market. Lower/ basement level is for fruits and vegetables, and seafood..meaning a lot of meat products (unfortunately). Prices were varying for oranges ex . between 1-2 €/ kg. I had a better experience of freshness and prices in the city's largest open air/flee market (Mercadillo de Teulada). It is large, but certainly not a jaw dropping experience.

A big city central market with great produce, greengrocers, butchers, fishmongers and very busy with locals and tourists. Seems that every Spanish city has one like this and they are brilliant. Just wish I could buy more and cook it locally. Accessible with lifts and ramps.

A beautiful building houses the fresh-market with loads of things to see and taste. I could have spent hours there. Be sure to get a taste of jamón ibérico and manchego cheese and I’m sure there were hundreds of other delights to try. Meat and cheeses are upstairs and seafood downstairs!

One of the most authentic Spanish Markets I have visited in Spain. The whole Market is well played out excellent signage pointing buyers to the right areas. Truely worth a visit for some traditional shopping.

Bustling with life, the central market of Alicante sells everything that the port town offers - from whole Iberico Ham Legs, the largest of sea produce, and the freshest of vegetables and fruits. We had freshly squeezed fruit juice for only a couple of Euros - the storeowner just walked over to the fruit store, picked out the fruits, and juiced it then and there for us. 🍊🍉🥭 There were Christmas carolers just outside the beautiful building, which really made for such a beautiful atmosphere. It definitely isn't winter wonderland, but it's a beautiful place to spend the Christmas in for sure ☀️😎

A great place to wile away a couple of hours when the weather is a bit poor. All of stallholders are very proud of their offerings. Meat, seafood, cold meats, preserves, fruit, vegetables, plants and lots more besides, including cafes, bars and cake stalls.

Superb. It's a MUST to visit. And take a moment to sit in the vermuteria and have some salami with vermut served with olives, nuts and crackers. It's a special experience.

Lots to choose from! Wish it had more little stalls to buy something small to nibble and drink while wandering around or just to sit down and Enjoy. All in all, worth a visit.

Great market, very busy fresh produce. Lovely ambience. Good access for all. A place for people to get about with disability.ift and escalator. Places to buy yummy food, unusual food.

A terrific traditional Spanish market. It is very clean and tidy. The selection of produce is fantastic, there are do many fish, meat and vegetable stalls, carrying such a wide and varied selection of fresh goods. The fish stalls are fantastic. This market is very central.

The prices were a bit too high for my liking and even more so, if you consider the service. You had to pay right up, after ordering and our waitress wasn’t very friendly. It is nice to try specialties from Spain, but it’s not really a place to sit down and really enjoy your food or have a talk, as it is very noisy. The fartones were rather dry, and really nothing to pay too much for. The interior is very nice, if you want to take pictures, and it’s also sweet, that they offer their own chocolate.

A popular location, just off the square. Very tasty and the kids loved the delicious churros and cup of thick creamy hot chocolate. Probably don't need a cup each but it was a nice bit of indulgence. Has a busy youthful feel about the place so perhaps not the right venue if you want to sit back and relax for a couple of hours.

I tried horchata and farton. Horchata was tasty, it was my first time trying it. I must say I enjoyed it. It’s very sweet. One glass costs 3.5€ (quite expensive). I also took one farton pastry (1.1€). Nothing special. Just some dough. You get served really fast, waitresses take your order at the table. You can also try ice cream here and some other types of fartons (I took the classic one without filling). On the negative side I could not see a menu list anywhere so I had no idea how much I’ll have to pay in the end. The place is spacious. They have more sitting tables upstairs. It is very touristic place, that’s why more expensive than other horchaterias, but have tasty horchata though

Beautiful interior, fitting for the area the place is in. We ordered a coffee, horchata and churros with chocolate. The churros was truly delicious the coffee was average. However service was a bit “basic” no menu available in the restaurant only at the front door, not a single smile and you get your bill right away with your orders. I would have been interested to try other dishes from the menu since I was already there. Also note that you’ll not be to pay with bank card only above 12€.

We indulged in the famous horchata and churros paired with a delightful chocolate cream. The experience, however, did not entirely live up to expectations. While the taste was decent, there wasn’t anything exceptionally remarkable that stood out during our visit. The ambiance of the place carried a sense of nostalgia, making it feel as though we had traveled back in time. It seemed to be tightly bound to its historical roots, not entirely managing to keep pace with contemporary tastes and expectations.

Orchata is very nice, and churros are quite ok, but not splendid. It's a self-service, or you order at the cash register and someone hands you food next to it - McDonald's style - not so great. Uncomfortable wooden chairs, traditional but not beautiful art on the walls, overall worth a try but not coming back, except for the Orchata

Very good place to enjoy horchata and fartons or churros and chocolates also ice cream. Very authentic and classic place located in downtown of Valencia. Staffs are friendly and helpful with english for tourist. The difficulties are only because they don’t have written menu so you’ll need to ask what they have.

Awesome! What's not to love? Is it touristy - yes! Is it good - yes! Just for the experience go here. The Horchateria is delicious - pastries amazing. Don't leave Valencia having not been here.

The fartons were good like a pastry. Churros was good but try not to over order like us. We got 1 order (of 4 pieces) and then added another 2 orders (8 pieces) for 2 adults And 2 kids and that was enough to make us all feel yucky afterwards. Lots of sugar buzz from the kids afterwards. It tastes better when you just have a little otherwise the grease gets to you. Horchata was like a rice milk drink which we thought was good. Waitress says there are no menus and just tell them what you want. Service not so great but fast. Atmospheric.

This place provides a step back into history in every sense. The menu, the decor, the service and churros, fartons & horcha! The churros are light, crispy and fresh… not oily. The horcha was a little too sweet for me but the fartons complimented very well.

An historical place, amazing churros and chocolate. I didn’t like the fartons very much, but my boyfriend did. It’s also cheap and the waiters are fast

Had a quick breakfast here. Food and service brilliant, most of the servers spoke English too! They had a traditional drink which we missed hopefully you won't!

Traditional coffee place, offering churros, tiger nut drinks and ice cream. I am amazed by the simplicity and the flavor. The staff are quite hustle and not very friendly, but i will still go again for the food.

A traditional orxateria, with beautiful authentic wall paintings. The employees were extremely helpful and they even gave us advice on good restaurants to have paella. The food was also nice and I enjoyed trying out the traditional dishes. Worth going for breakfast.

The cafe has a good atmosphere, but the service was quite bad. We were waiting for long time to make an order and no one told us that we had to check the menu from outside. Horchata was fine, but it tasted as in any other place. They have different options for desserts.

I've been to other Orxaterias, so honestly this one is an experience that you wanna have one time & only. You will not repeat it again. Staff are very friendly & helpful. Horchata was very delicious. The problem is the design of the place. You don't feel comfortable & you just wanna finish and leave.

The service was quick and efficient. The people who take the orders are very friendly. I liked the regular and chocolate churros. The hot chocolate is ok. The farton is not my style but the Horchata is heaven sent. I had two when I visited. 😂

We got our horchata and farton to go so I can not speak of the service. Personally, the horchata was a little too sweet for my liking. I am still glad I went to experience this drink for the first time in Spain as it was recommended by our tour guide as being her favorite spot in Valencia. The farton, on the other hand, was perfect. I would go again for this alone.

It's a nice, traditional café which is famous for its horchata (tiger nut milk). The horchata is nice, but quite pricey. The interior is very beautiful but we weren't impressed with the fartons (which is the sweet pastry eaten with horchata). I also got recommended to try the buñuelos here (a fried sweet dough similar to churros) and they were served completely cold which is outrageous for the price in my opinion. Also, the chocolate was quite nice in flavour but was served in a paper cup which I found strange given that we were dining in and not taking out. Unfortunately it seems that it's a very touristy place and they don't focus on quality that much.

amazing location and efficient service. the hot chocolate was one of the best one if have had in a while, very decadent, thick and chocolatey. the churros and the chocolate farton were also very tasty.

If you want to try the buñuelos or the churros. These come with dark hot chocolate. They are one of the oldest where they serve these delicious recipe. The line can be long as a lot of tourist and locals Visit. They have a stairs to go to the first floor. The inside and outside are both decorated with beautiful tiles. Portraying different stories. The staff is kind and fast (they have to with so many people) You have to pay immediately after you received your order. Keeping it efficient. Atmosphere is not there. Just enjoy your order stay a while if you like to.

Amazing churros and hot chocolate. It's all i came here for based on reviews and google searches. It stands up to It's hype. 🙂 The churros comes hot and fresh with 4 pieces on a plate. And the hot chocolate thick and warm enough to dip the churros in a soon as they land on your table. Servers were great. I mean, minimal interaction needed anyway as i went alone and that's all i ordered. Surprisingly but not an issue at all is thta as soon as they bring your order to the table, they as to pay right away. Again not an issue, just something I've not experienced before. My one regret! I came from the central market before going here. I had ham sandwich there and sangria. On my way here, i saw a churro shop outside the market and ordered churros as well 😄 (last 2 pics are from there, you'll see the branding on the paper cup). So this is my 2nd order of churro within the hour and i can't finish it coz im full. I only ate 2 pieces. Skip the one at the market if you get tempted. Its also good dont get me wrong, but this is better ambience, seating and all.

Good service, the kids had ice cream which tasted great, i would suggest having buñuelos, were sweet and delicious, we also had churros with hot chocolate, werent fans of churros but hot chocolate was quite nice

An amazing fusion between Valencian and Argentinian food. My personal favorites were the firewood lobster and the empanada. Every dish was served with a lot of love. Thank you team Fierro!

Incredible experience at Fierro ! First of course, the food : it was just perfect, the taste, the textures, the look ! It was soooo good ! The wines were great too ! (but maybe to much wines, we always had 2 glasses at the same time) The secret menu : you don't know what you eat before you eat it, so during the whole diner you are trying to guess the ingredients, which makes the tasting very active and exciting ! The service : Everyone was perfect. So kind and funny (thank you Mariana for your constant smile). Every plate was very well explained, and we really appreciated the fact that different people explained the plates (floor manager, waitress, sous-chef etc...). It made the experience so special because we switched from spanish to english to french depending on the person. And finally the atmosphere : good music, full black experience, very casual vibe ! We loved it ! I'm writing this review almost 3 years later, and I still remember everything. For me that's the proof that this diner was memorable ! Once again : thank you ! Viva Fierro !

A brilliant little restaurant. Very intimate setting with a view of the Ruzafa market. The simple concept of withholding information about each dish until after you've eaten it is incredibly clever. It keeps your attention on the food, and constantly gives you something to discuss as you try to discern what exactly you're eating. Highly recommended.

A symphony of flavours and textures! The seafood was incredibly fresh and there were lots of the produce I have never tried before, like a lot of sea- based plants. I like the concept of not knowing what you are eating until after. Give your self at least 3 hours to get through all the courses. The Yuzu seltzer they had was also great if you don’t drink alcohol.

A very unique experience with amazing food and very good service. We were a table of 6 and some arrived late but they were very accommodating and also a last minute dietary requirement which they executed without any problems and the alternatives looked amazing! The whole evening was a game with us having to guess the ingredients, wondering what the next course will be (you receive the menu at the end) and it was a very well orchestrated dinner. The service of all staff and chefs were amazing, paying attention to all the little details. Definitely deserving of its Michelin star. Highly recommended. Price is definitely on the high end but you definitely will not be disappointed.

Very amazing food and well service. The food is full of creative and detailed. Also they may give you a surprise in last dishes. The service is very good, too. I hope I can enjoy the new menu next time

That menue is so well balanced. Its a concept and you feel and taste it. Whole afternoon was fun with the stuff, enjoyment with the wine and an explosion of taste with the food! The michelin star is very well deserved. Hope you'll get the 2. One soon. We'll be back from germany to proof it 😀

So amazing. Needless to say, you do expect the best of the best in restaurants like this, but Fierro and it’s amazing team elevate this to the next level. Every dish carefully and deliciously curated didn’t disappoint at any step, my favourites were the oyster salad, beef and duck dishes. The maridaje was glorious, and we are already planing to come back only to try the without alcohol one that they make themselves. Very cozy and intimate as there are only four table, and the service run smooth, friendly and warm overall. Still waiting for that bread to go tho(joke, because you will love the bread!)

Fantastic experience. We did the tasting menu with the full "around the world" wine pairing and everything was delicious. Excellent service.

Recently had an exceptional fine dining experience at Fierro Valencia, where every aspect, from the impeccable service (lovely staff!) to the exquisite dishes, truly showcased why Michelin star is undoubtedly well-deserved!

Probably the best restaurant we’ve ever visited. Service was friendly and efficient. Every single course on the tasting menu was innovative, interesting and tasted fantastic. Great selection of wines at accessible prices. Fairly priced given the quality of the food and service. Highly recommended.

Amazing place with a great concept of their tasting menu. The waitresses are not "boring" you with a 5 minute monologue before every course with every single ingredient but rather let you guess what's in it and then explain later after you have finished it. We've had a very smooth relaxing evening here and enjoyed the time and food a lot. Incredible staff who managed to create a friendly atmosphere. Will definitely come again when i am in Valencia.

Fierro has been our first experience in a 1 Michelin star restaurant. From the moment we sat on our table until we left, we felt taken care of as we never felt before in a restaurant. The place has around 5 tables in total, which give you a hint of how special it is. Carito and German, the chefs and owners of Fierro greeted each table personally and together with their team (7 more persons), they made us travel through our palate. Each dish has been specially crafted with a level of detail I have never experienced before. Each ingredient thought, specially chosen, support the experience the chefs want you to feel with each bite. The combination of each dish with the carefully selected wines by the very knowledgeable sommelier Eva Pizarro, resulted in an exceptional combination difficult to match. She was able to explain us why this wine was chosen for each dish, with a light background of it which made it very interesting if you like wine as we do. The setup of the restaurant is very comfortable, with almost a clear view to the kitchen from any table, where you see the magic happening as each course is carefully crafted with a level of detail as a Swiss watch is produced. My wife doesn’t eat a lot of things, so they adapted the menu very carefully to ensure she would also have an amazing experience as the rest of us. This shows caring and a high focus in ensuring every person at the table can enjoy the night equally. For anyone worried about if the food is enough, there are so many dishes that you will feel very satisfied at the end of the 3 hours courses experience. You will feel the rejoice of enjoying so many different flavors in one special night, that you won’t believe it. I would highly recommend the Fierro experience to anyone wanting to have a fine dinning experience in Valencia. For us, it has been the best dinning experience we’ve ever had so far.
