The 5 best places to eat cheesecake in Valencia

Cheesecake is one of the many things that Valencia does brilliantly. Golden on the outside, gooey in the middle and properly cheesy. At Canalla Bistro, Ricard Camarena serves a top-notch slice which holds its shape (just). Tip: buy Camarena’s cheesecake to take away from Solaz in Mercat Central.

This fancy spot by Quique Dacosta is better known for its glitzy decor and paella cooked over open fire, but their fondant cheesecake, with a liquid centre that pools in the plate, deserves its time in the spotlight. Keep an eye out for the chocolate version, which occasionally graces the menu.

Owner Julia left her job in biotechnology to follow her dream of opening a bakery. Barely cooked cinnamon rolls are the best in the city and cookies with blow torched marshmallows and liquid fillings are insane, but chocolate cheesecake dotted with rose petals is the one that people fall head-over-heels for.

Based on the edge of Russafa with a classy fit out, Vermúdez is the spot to vermutear, but it also serves a heavenly slice. Chocolate cheesecake is part liquid, part ambrosia from the Gods, and comes served with silky vanilla ice cream.

Bar Cremaet is part of Gastroadictos, a small restaurant group that takes local classics and polishes them up a bit. Decor here is modern with a smattering of nostalgia, there are retro typefaces and a long stainless-steel bar. The cheesecake is divine: light, creamy, and best enjoyed on the sunny terrace.
