Simply Excellent! The food was exquisite and the service exceptional, friendly and informative. The wine pairings well recommended. Why this restaurant doesn’t yet have at least two if not three Michelin stars is hard to understand. Highly highly recommend.

Excellent service—our waiter was super helpful & friendly. Delicious food, particularly the salmon in orange crust with Parmesan & almonds, the vegetarian ceviche & the croquettes.

La Salvadora is one of our favorite restaurants in Valencia. We wondered in the first time and luckily they were able to seat us. The kindness of the staff and the amazing food are what keep bringing us back (always with a reservation). We love everything on the menu but a few unique dishes are my personal favorites: the smoked sardine with pepper jam and cherry tomato is a salty sweet combo that is a surprise and a delight. And the roasted salmon in crust of orange Parmesan is unlike anything I’ve ever had. It’s a truly beautiful dish. The beef cheeks and the bulls tail are my husband’s favorites. We always share a desert and they are all wonderful. The warm welcome we get when we arrive sets the tone for a lovely evening. This restaurant is a treasure.

My wife and I tried the €45 pp taster menu which was really good, I'm not sure if you would call it Tapas because most tapas that I've tried are all accompanied on bread, this was more than that. We tried different wines (sold by the glass) so we could have the right wine pairing with the right food. I think we must have had the owner serving us, he was very good and spoke very good English. What I particularly liked was that when I mentioned after the first course that I'm a bit sensitive to too much salt, he made sure the chief reduced the salt in my dishes. For me that makes all the difference in quality of the service. We now want to return to Valencia to revisit La Salvaora but bring our friends with us next time.

We made two visits to this fabulous restaurant! It’s small with two tasting menus priced at €40 and €45. Gorgeous food over 6/7 courses with delicious flavour on every plate.

We hadn’t visited for a few years, but we won’t leave it so long next time. The welcome was warm, the food delicious and the wine very good quality. Our food was based on traditional Spanish dishes and still recognisable as such, but taken to a new level of sophistication without losing the basic character. Our servers were knowledgeable and friendly, giving us great advice with menu choices. We look forward to returning.

A typical Spanish restaurant with gorgeous food It's not a big restaurant which made it feel more special. Staff were very attentive without being overpowering. From start to finish this was a memorable occasion. I would go so far as to say it was the nicest restaurant we visited during our week long stay in Valencia

An outstanding little restaurant - a great discovery. Surprisingly good value for an excellent choice of fixed menus - cooked with great skill and care. If you are in Valencia Old Town book this restaurant - you will not be disappointed.

It's a small restaurant, open only in the evenings. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, well executed dishes and a good mix of dishes in the tasting menus. Good value for money.

We were made to feel very welcome. A great selection on the menu and we shared 3 “starters” and one main course between 2. The owners figured that out, without us making it complicit, and gave us two plates and cutlery for each course. The local wine was a perfect accompaniment to our order. The food was really good, the ox tail was the best I have had for many a year! There was no rush to eat and leave as we sat for over two hours and relaxed over our dinner. I cannot fault the service, the management or the food. Highly recommend for a lovely dinner out!

Dinner at La Salvaora was one of the highlights of our recent trip to Valencia. The restaurant is very near to all the tourist attractions yet it offers cozy atmosphere, superb service and great food. Highly recommend. Early reservation is a must.
