Fuimos un día a comer sin reserva y nos atendieron enseguida. Como queríamos pedir varias cosas de la carta nos comunicaron que podíamos pedir medias raciones, perfecto para dos personas. Muy recomendable, genero muy fresco, cocinado con amor y con gran detalle. Volveremos seguro. Dentro se está muy fresquito perfecto para tener una comida agradable.

Bar-tasca-Marisquería típica del Cabañal. Local sencillo, informal y trato muy agradable. Ritmo de servicio muy correcto, sin tiempos de espera ni atropellos. En cocina miran mucho los puntos de cocción de todo lo que puedas pedir, algo fundamental cuando hablamos de platos de pescado o frituras. Destacaría el calamar rebozado y el ajo arriero, así como la sepia bruta. Fantástico también el atún marinado con helado de wasabi. Precios correctos para la comida. Imprescindible reservar. Sitio para volver

Situado enfrente justo del Mercado del Cabanyal, del cual se abastece de producto fresco del día. El auge tanto cultural como gastronómico en este barrio marinero es ya todo un hecho, que atrae a gourmets de toda Valencia. El local es sencillo, con aspecto de bar de toda la vida, con cierta apariencia marinera, lleno de azulejos de tono blanco y detalles azules. Tiene también una terraza en la calle muy soleada. Su cocina se basa fundamentalmente en platos de mar, no tiene carta, te “cantan”los platos, es producto del día de las lonjas y mercados. Elaboraciónes sencillas, sin artificios ni complejidad alguna, ni falta que le hace, producto auténtico de mar con todo su sabor, y respetando la materia prima. En definitiva un sitio recomendable, sin grandes técnicas de elaboración, pero con buen producto, y a unos precios razonables.

Amazing, fresh seafood in a local neighborhood spot. The grilled octopus was very tender, the fried fish was lightly battered and crispy, and the grilled sepia in black ink sauce was very tasty too. The grilled shrimp was sweet and delicious. Servers are friendly as well. Overall great experience, food and vibes. Highly recommend! Went back again after a couple of months and the experience was as good as before and the dishes we ordered were even better. You have to get the octopus and sepia without ink. It was amazing! Best octopus I've had.

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve been to this restaurant. The octopus is the best I’ve had and I’ve had many, in Spain, Italy, Greece, across many other countries. Paired with their house made almond romesco sauce is just a dream. I also love the muscles. One thing I have yet to try is the Esgarraet. It’s originally from Cabañal, so if you are looking for something special, this is probably it.

That neighbourhood place that has the absolute best versions of the classics. Come for the calamari. Stay for the excellent list of local wines at incredible prices. Don’t leave without a few zamburiñas and the lemon and almond tart! Book in advance!

What an AMAZING evening. The food was out of this World and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Our waitress was lovely and added to the fun. The place was spotlessly clean and we will be back again. The biggest plus point was the price and quality of the food. Thank you and WELL DONE.

5 stars out of 5, the food is really delicious! A few info that might come in handy if like me you are not familiar with the customs: - the price of the (yummy!) anchovies is by unit - all dishes are meant to be shared - you can order a 3/4, which is a portion for two people, or a ració, which is meant for four people. Go and enjoy!

Cabanyal is a fascinating little neighborhood in Valencia near the beach. It has a great market hall and across from the market is this gem. I’m not big on seafood but the tellinas here are out of this world. A touch of olive oil and garlic and a spritz of lemon and you just can’t stop ! I could probably eat two or three plates. They are just so sweet and delicious. Valencia may be famous for paella but they’re seafood is amazing. The octopus was also the best I’ve ever eaten. And don’t miss their tortilitas de camarones ( shrimp fritters ).

Food is amazing, staff is super cool and the bill at the end is low. If you wanna enjoy your lunchtime, this place is strongly recommended!

Hemos ido de cena familiar. Hemos pedido varias tapas las cuales estaban muy buenas. La calidad de los pescados es espectacular. El servicio es muy rápido y amable. En la terraza se pasa una velada muy agradable al caer la tarde, pero hay que reservar con antelación porque se llena enseguida. Muy bueno en general y muy recomendable.

Un bar excelente para tapeo, raciones de calidad a un precio estupendo. Personal muy amable. Las raciones de pescado, así como las gambas de Huelva extraordinarias. Un sitio para volver por precio y calidad.27/08/2023 Hacia algún tiempo que no había venido, sigue siendo muy buena la comida y la atención, producto fresco y bien realizado, el único pero es que las raciones han disminuido bastante,cosa muy frecuente hoy en día tanto en la compra como en los restaurantes. 27/11/25. He vuelto con mi pareja y sigue como siempre, calidad del producto, servicio atento y rápido. Relación calidad precio muy buena. Volveremos

El local no es muy grande pero es acogedor. La carta te la canta la camarera directamente, dividiendo en platos fríos y platos calientes. Pedimos para compartir: Ajoarriero, bravas, pulpo, tortitas de camarón, croquetas de bacalao y cocido y ensaladilla de buey de mar. Lo mejor el ajoarriero, que estaba espectacular, el pulpo y las croquetas. Para terminar pedimos tarta de queso, tarta de la abuela, puding de calabaza con helado de vainilla y brownie de chocolate blanco. A destacar por encima de los demás, el puding de calabaza. Nos quedamos con ganas de probar muchas más cosas, así que volveremos seguro. Sitio muy recomendable, con productos de calidad a buen precio.

Todo buenísimo. Lo que no me gustó fue que no tuvieran carta. Te la dicen en voz alta, de manera que no ves el precio de las tapas. Una pena porque fue todo genial pero ese detalle no nos pareció acertado.

El Bar Cabañal es un sitio para disfrutar de platillos y tapas de gran calidad donde el pescado y el marisco de lonja son los protagonistas. No tiene carta, te “cantan” los platos. Lo que más nos sorprendió fue las clotxines a la planxa. Una receta muy sencilla pero con un resultado expectacular. Carta de vinos amplia y precios razonables. Personal muy atento y amable. Recomendable hacer reserva. Volveremos seguro

I really liked the food here very traditional. Waitress was absolutely lovely really fast service. But I didn't feel as relaxed as I would have liked as I felt hovered over and taking drinks and plates off the tables too quickly. Maybe it's not always this way but it was this night. I'd recommend booking as if you just show up you may be told to give the table back quickly.

Aida R

I give 4 stars to the friendly staff and the very delicious tarte de la iaia. The calamari was very good. Other dishes were good but not the best I’ve ever had. Not to complain but the restaurant should take a bit more care of cleanliness.

This is the neighborhood by the beach. I spent an afternoon here and I was not impressed. It is not pretty, it is not busy, there are few restaurants or cafes. Actually ugly.

Jimmy Papadopoulos

Have to keep it a hundred. Unless you are a picky seafood eater willing to splurge on dismal proportions of decent to good food, do not come here. The waiters and service are good, but a long wait for just okay food of small portions and high prices… it makes little sense to eat here given the much wider array of (frankly better) restaurants in this area.

JB

The staff is quite unfriendly, it's hard to speak with them to reserve, they answered that we can get the table but short time, so many problems but later we were alone on the terrace, so confusing. The food is not special at all, we tried many sea food meals and were ok but would not repeat.

Quiet Seafood place in Valencia. Friendly and attentive staff. Food was okay, not outstanding. Recommended if you are in the area, probably not worth a detour

By the beach, this neighborhood has its charms. But it is not among the prettiest in town nor does it have much of historic significance. So come here if you like beaches and you can always find …

Experiencia totalmente inaceptable de principio a fin. Esperamos entre 20 y 25 minutos por comida muy básica como unas croquetas, algo completamente injustificable. Para colmo, las porciones son extremadamente pequeñas, lo que hace que la espera resulte aún más frustrante. La variedad del menú es muy limitada y algunas combinaciones no tienen ningún sentido, como poner wasabi en una ensalada, arruinando el sabor en lugar de mejorarlo. Ni siquiera cumplen con lo más básico en bebidas: no tienen Coca-Cola, solo Pepsi; no hay Fanta y en su lugar ofrecen Kas. Para el precio que se paga, lo mínimo sería cubrir las necesidades básicas del cliente. El agua es cara y ni siquiera traen más de un litro. Teniendo en cuenta que los platos cuestan entre 10 y 20 €, la relación calidad-precio es pésima. Mucha espera, poca comida y precios altos. No lo recomiendo y no volveré.

Pésima atención,nos dieron la opción de cenar en la terraza por teléfono y luego nos dicen que tienen la cocina saturada; que no pueden atendernos. Deberían de ser claros y decir que la cocina solo puede atender a la gente de dentro del local. Pd: la terraza estaba completamente vacía y dábamos la opción de esperar el tiempo que hiciera falta, no se para qué está en la web la opción de terraza un saludo

Very disappointing experience. The waiting time was excessive — 20–25 minutes for very simple dishes like croquetas. When the food finally arrived, the portions were extremely small, making the long wait completely unjustified. The menu is limited, and some choices are hard to understand, such as adding wasabi to a salad, which adds nothing and actually ruins the dish. They also fail to meet basic expectations for drinks: no Coca-Cola, only Pepsi; no Fanta, and Kas instead. For the prices being charged, at the very least they should meet basic customer requirements. On top of that, water is overpriced and they wouldn’t even bring more than one liter. Paying €10–€20 per dish for this level of food and service is simply poor value. Long waits, small portions, high prices. Would not return or recommend.

Just came across the city to find this Restaurant.The customer service of one of the ladies was disgusting. after asking for some information she just answered “no quiero hablar más”.Did not even bother to help me at all!If it wasn’t for the boy in the balcony this placed as no idea of what customer service is! Good food? Maybe but ridiculouss customer service
