The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was very good. The Fork was able to find the restaurant. Google maps took us to the wrong location when I put the name of the restaurant in.

We really liked this place. Looks a bit uninspiring outside (and we had to ring the bell to be let in) but once inside the ambience was great; just like eating in your Aunt’s dining room. The food - we mainly ate seafood - was the best we had in Valencia.

Fabulous food - lovely people - we suspect a family run restaurant- and the best olive oil we have ever tasted… but only fish on the menu so if you are a meat eater, don’t bother.

Si tenemos carnes, pero al ser nuestra especialidad el pescado, las carnes no las tenemos en carta. Muchas gracias por sus comentarios y hasta pronto! Maribel

Service was slow at first (waited 30 mins before drinks were ordered). However, the food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was really neat.

We took the hop on and off tour bus, stopped at Las Arenas, short 7mins easy walk straight up from the Las Arenas beach past the bird sculpture honoring an actor and were pleasantly surprised. Local gem- fresh, quality seafood in classic setting. Reservations recommended. A perfect short trip for our first visit to Valencia!

This is our third visit to this fairly sophisticated fish restaurant- food is excellent, and service polite and caring. Not really suitable for young children but worth trying for adults looking for good food and wine at reasonable prices in a quiet restaurant- white tablecloth and napkins, good quality glasses etc. We were there for Sunday lunch and it was a shame that there were only 4 tables taken - they deserve to be busier. If you go, don’t be put off by the locked door to the restaurant- you have to ring the doorbell to get in!

This was a plan B after A cancelled on us. Turned out to be an excellent experience. Antonio from Sevilla guided us thru varied menu options; octopus, fish cannolis, fish salad, flan de cafe. A notable and recommended stop when in the area.

I’ve of our favorite restaurants. Lots of space between tables and you can hear your friends talk as it is not a noisy place at all. The food is AMAZING. The portions are NOT minuscule. You will not find better fish, artichokes with langostinos, grilled calamar anywhere. If you try this wonderful place you will return!

El Cabanyal excels, as usual. Delicate cuisine. They offer the best seafood in the city. Add a calm, elegant atmosphere to enjoy a memorable meal.

The quality of the food was good - but a bit overpriced compared to other restaurants we have been at in Valencia - it was good with the 50% discount, but we wouldn’t go back without - we had the Merluza which was amazing and the tuna also really fresh. For people not as price sensitive as us, it is a good fish place!

Extraordinary quality of the food, perfectly prepared! We had 2 fish dishes, tuna and hake. Delicious! The starters were on the same level. The service friendly, quick, with good information and also good recommendations. In short, highly recommendable!

Pretty low value for money. Small plate compared to prices. In particular we did not like that some plates in the menu were not discounted (you should tell it before on The Fork app) or "not available" (is it a coincidence? I don't think so)

The price was excessive in relationship with the service received and the quality of the food. The lady was really nice though... Not worth it
