Fuimos el pasado domingo y habíamos encargado un arroz seco de sepia y alcachofas para 3,ya que éramos 4 y queríamos probar varios entrantes.Pedimos unos berberechos meunière que estaban muy buenos,nos sacaron una hogaza de pan recién hechas y calentita que para mojar en la salsa estaba divina.Luego pedimos unos buñuelos de bacalao que estaban muy esponjosos y unas chuletillas de cabrito que servían con unas patatitas muy ricas.Para finalizar el arroz seco,muy bien el punto del arroz y de sabor,pero echamos de menos un poco de socarrat,por poner un pero.De postre una tarta de chocolate y un flan de caramelo,ambos riquísimos.Muy recomendable el sitio y hay que reservar.Nosotros cuando llamamos para reservar, el comedor ya estaba lleno y la mesa la pusieron en la terraza.Ese día hizo mucho viento,pero nuestra mesa estaba más refugiada y teníamos al lado una estufa,por lo que estuvimos muy agusto.

One of the best restaurants in the area, right in the heart of the orchard, with good quality food and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. We tried the Valencian paella, and I can say it's one of the best I've ever eaten: clams with monkfish and artichokes. A pleasure to eat here!

The Napicol is tucked away in small Meliana village, just off the main street and though still next to Valencia city has its horticultural landscape still surrounding the village. The restaurant is in a former town house with a pleasant terrace. Inside you are greeted with a modern setting and an open kitchen where the chefs are working diligently in the background. The waitresses are attentive and pleasant without been ostentatious, while the table setting is set with a properly dressed table. The menu a la carte is short on starters, but sufficient. We opted for rabbit "ensaladilla" , tomato salad and zucchini flower filled with cuttlefish. This last one was certainly a real treat. The rice we opted for was with cauliflower, cuttlefish and sausage. A very surprising mix but complemented one another nicely. The rice was cooked to perfection but could perhaps have had been a little less oily. Moving on to dessert we had a custardly vanilla flan and a wicked chocolate cake. All in all, the place seems to be getting noticed and has received several culinary mentions from the food guides, which is not surprising.

Handy tip to visit this place by a local friend and they joined us…..advise that you book. The food is like fine dinning Tapas …Michelin star stuff…..in a very local and rustic setting - awesome decor and ambience. Best Paella ever - confirmed by locals 😁Service was excellent. Great wine selection, which complimented the food really well. Tucked off the beaten track. Highly recommend.

This is the secret best place to eat in (or rather outside of) Valencia. Family run countryside restaurant where attention to detail and ingredients and love and balance between simplicity and flavour all blend into absolute perfection. If you come you MUST preorder either one of the arroces but ideally the classic paella as this place is top 2-3 in Valencia to have it. We had the classic and the flavour achieved in the rice and the socarrat was the best I’ve ever tried. The other dishes on the menu are just as amazing and you can come just to try those. Top 2tomato salad starter I’ve ever had anywhere in my life. Must order! Bonito with fig (when in season) and ajo blanco is simply divine! The chef Temo whipped up a grilled squid (hot and cold type prep) just for us - which was sensational. Flavour attention to detail and love shine through. This is the perfect place a seasoned food connoisseur secretly longs for: off the beaten track, no Michelin menus, refined flavours, amazing ingredients and veg sourced from either own farm or a closely associated supplier, just love and layers in the flavour.

High end restaurant with top quality rice and many other carefully elaborated dishes. You need to pre order the rice one day before, but it is definitely worth the wait :-)

The paella and the desserts were all amazing.

This place amaized us with quality of food. Seafood paella was amaizig, salads were fresh and tasteful, appetizers are wonderful. So to say - all of 5 dishes we had were great! The experience is totaly worth it. The only regret - we couldn't taste the whole menu! The chief was the guys with decent English - i wish we didn't disturb him from his magic pots, pans and stove, but I can say only positive and many compliments on the taste and food quality. Definetly would return to taste the rest of the menu! Price is reasonable, justifies the experience, they deserve the Star.

This place is outstanding, food is excellent quality, very, very good value for money, atmosphere is great, we were here of a Thursday afternoon, but would have loved to have attended one of their Friday / Saturday evenings in the courtyard. All around I describe this place as a must visit!!

This was the best paella I’ve ever had.

Best Paella I've ever tasted. Dessert and starts also amazing with delicious salmorejo and fresh bread to start!!! Will be visiting again!

El lugar en general es excepcional. Ligeramente escondido en la huerta norte de Valencia. Lugar agradable y acogedor. En cuanto a la comida, la paella mas cara que he probado en Valencia (precio por racion). Si valoras exclusivamente la paella, hay sitios mejores y mas económicos ( y tmb muy bonitos)

Muy buena cocina, carta algo escasa y local agradable. La paella valenciana es de las mejores que se pueden comer, aunque los 24€ por ración me parecen algo excesivo.

We're highly recommended. Just the two of us. Very good service, friendly and welcoming. 4 anchovies, 4 Gillardeau oysters, a bit of country pâté, rice with senyoret, and a bottle of Ribeiro wine. Almost €180 for two. A restaurant recognized by the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand.

The recommendations from friends were very good, and we were eager to go. Our expectations were met; a cozy dining room with an open kitchen, next to their vegetable garden, and everything we ate was of very good quality: anchovies, oysters, pollock mandonguilla, and creamy seafood rice, tasty, balanced, and without anything excessive. Profiteroles with just the right amount of sugar, and delicious apple tart. At about fifty euros per person, very reasonable considering the quality and good service. Recommended.

Location : Out of Valencia near Beach Meliana Service : Average Food : Spanish food This is a Michelin 2024 restaurant. The place is super nice and has a nice back garden with a lot of plants and a bit of animals. For service I only give 4stars . Because as a Michelin restaurant I expected high quality service . The staff served very quickly but the attitude was a bit cold . The food was very nice and tasty . Personally feel the pallea is a bit too salty. Ps : the have a metro station near by . But suggest by car they have a free parking place.

An amazing place to eat a good Paella, the other plates we order was good, but I will say a little over price. My favorites was the tomato salad and the desert, that was a mango pavlova.

We chose this restaurant after being told it serves the best paella in the area, so we made a reservation with high expectations. Upon arrival, we were informed that paella must be pre-ordered in advance — something that was never mentioned when we initially called to book. How could we have known? This was disappointing, as it was the main reason we came. On a positive note, the other dishes we ordered were fresh, well-prepared, and made with quality ingredients.

43 eur each per 1 croqueta , a glass of wine and an exquisite rice .Too pricey. However, i must say high quality products and nice deco. Bittersweet experience.

Es un restaurante bueno, pero los precios son demasiado altos, dignos de un restaurante de mucha más calidad. La carta es demasiado corta y los entrantes no son nada del otro mundo; las tellinas muy sabrosas y las croquetas de bacalao cremosas pero sin más, el cardo con berberechos decente, pero no son platos tan elaborados, se echa en falta algo más de innovación para los precios que son. El arroz bastante bueno, demasiado fuerte para mi gusto (el caldo tenía un sabor demasiado potente). Los postres ricos pero tampoco nada del otro mundo. El sitio es precioso, el medio de l'horta, en la terraza en un día de sol se está genial. El servicio muy bien, las camareras muy amables y atentas, aunque no lo suficiente porque quizás habría hecho falta alguna persona más trabajando para que no hubieran ido tan agobiadas. Aún así, quien nos atendió era muy profesional y nos ayudó a elegir muy bien. En resumen, un sitio muy bonito con servicio profesional pero demasiado caro; los platos no justifican precios tan altos y faltaban camareros/as. No volveré

Nos presentamos en este restaurante que nos habían recomendado, vamos cuatro comensales para una paella valenciana, en la carta pone que la paella es mínimo para dos personas con un precio de 25 euros por la paella para dos personas, nos ponen una paella para cuatro sin tener en cuenta cuántas personas querían paella ya que un comensal era alérgica al grano y nos lo han cobrado igualmente y en la cuenta se nos presenta una cuenta de 100 euros por la paella, cuando en ningún momento ponía que la paella mínima para dos era 25 por comensal, se lo decimos al dueño y se pone a faltarnos el respeto diciendo que eso es lo que hay y que paguemos lo que nos salga de los cojines

Ayer, por desgracia, dos de las cuatro personas no pudimos asistir. En mi caso, siendo quien había realizado la reserva, me encontraba enterrando a un ser querido. Entiendo perfectamente que la política de reservas sea clara en cuanto a cancelaciones, faltaría más. Lo que cuesta un poco más de comprender es que, habiendo avisado previamente de que solo acudirían dos comensales, se decidiera elaborar igualmente una paella para cuatro… y, por supuesto, cobrarla como tal. Todo ello acompañado de una actitud sorprendentemente altiva y poco considerada, aun conociendo las circunstancias, lo que añadió un matiz innecesario a la experiencia. La comida es buena, sin duda, aunque también lo es en muchísimos otros restaurantes de Valencia. En casos como este, el trato es el verdadero elemento diferenciador, y lamentablemente aquí fue donde nos pierden como clientes, a mí, a mis compañeros, allegados, conocidos de trabajo, de mi círculo, etc...

Ya no volveremos más. Reservamos en la terraza cubierta. Cuando entramos preguntamos si se podía fumar porque íbamos con un bebe y nos dijeron que no. La pérgola era cerrada. Sin embargo, estaba todo el mundo fumando. Cuando nos quejamos hubo una tímida llamada de atención y alguno salió a terminar el cigarro fuera pero el siguiente otra vez dentro y así toda la comida. Al parecer les compensaba quedar mejor con una mesa de señores maleducados que se enchufaban un cigarro tras otro a escondidas con tal de no caminar 2 metros fuera de la pérgola. Es mas, uno de esa mesa preguntó si podían fumar y la camarera ni corta ni perezosa le dice que en principio no, pero que cada uno haga lo que quiera. Evidentemente han hecho lo que han querido. Apestaba toda la sala a tabaco. Y si lo hubiéramos sabido, no habríamos ido y menos con un bebe. Pero para mas inri, la tartaleta de cordero y el arroz estaban muy salados. El arroz no hemos podido ni acabarlo de lo salado que estaba pero no se les ha ocurrido preguntarnos por qué. Entiendo que lo del arroz pueda pasar un día, pero lo otro ha sido para no volver más y no recomendarlo a nadie.

If you are grateful that you don't have to pay for a paella that contains a long hair in it, then this is the place for you. And you will be asked to pay for alternative food that you never intended to eat. Food is generally of good quality but the whole experience can be ruined by the arrogant and unapologetic service when they have made a clear mistake. We won't be taking the risk again.

Our experience at Napicol restaurant was not a good one. There is only an online menu which I find discriminatory. The online menu is in Spanish only and no waiter speaks any other language than Spanish. Prices for fish are not in the menu, one orders without knowing how much it costs. For the desert, one has to ask as it's not written anywhere. Waiters pay little attention to customers, they forgot my husband's main dish (never came with it nor were they apologetic about it) and we had to ask for the bill twice as they, again, forgot about it. How can this be a Michelin Bid Gourmand restaurant? We went to many BGM and always had a great experience...
