Su, Valencian by birth and Catalan by adoption, set up this restaurant with the hope of transmitting traditional Valencian cuisine, with its globally recognized dish, "Paella", shortly after opening she achieved recognition from Wikipaella, as curator of the traditional recipe and later that of Luxlife, their children have joined the adventure, which even gives it a more familiar character if possible, in the desire to represent authentic Mediterranean food, so we have incorporated fish in our menu to salazon, which we make in a traditional way, with the recipe that the Phoenician culture brought us and so deeply rooted in our coasts. or typical dishes from inland areas, such as chicken with garlic or potatoes with cod, and to finish a good meal, our artisan desserts, in which we have managed to make them gluten-free, so no one will feel discriminated against, we hope you come to spend a "Valencian style Paella day" with us.
