5 restaurants with incredible interiors in Valencia

Leave the city at the doorstep of this beautiful old manor house, converted into one of the prettiest restaurants in Valencia. Dine in the old kitchen with its original marble worktop, or the sitting room with antique furniture and candy-striped walls. In the kitchen octopus and wild fish is charred over open flame.

The sushi is not the best in Valencia, but the decor here is undeniably impressive. Choose from two dining rooms: one a take on 16th-century Japan with wood panelling, paper lanterns and creeping vines; the other is a futuristic clash of neon lights and glossy booths.

Organic shapes and natural materials set the scene at Begin, a restaurant that wants to transport guests to an imaginary prehistoric era of healthy eating. The cave-like interior is a refuge of veggie-led food. Dive into dishes with cheesy names like ‘ancestral hummus’ with crudités and
‘forest delights’ with roasted sweet potato.

La Sastrería wants to pay homage to the traditions of Cabanyal, and they started with tiles. There are tiles on tiles on tiles in the maximalist space, just a few paces from the beachfront. Food is sea-led, with dishes like oysters on ice, shrimp croquetas and grilled razor clams.

More is more at Las Horas, a mad mash-up of a regal British tea house and a burlesque nightclub. Beneath glittering chandeliers, every inch is covered in antique paintings, velvet drapes and bouquets of roses. An eccentric crowd is there to get tipsy on Agua de Valencia and tap their toes to live bossa nova.
