- C/ del Riu - of the small village
of Pinedo which lies close to the
spaghetti junction at the end of the
Saler motorway on the south side of
the “drain” where it empties into
the sea and right opp. the VLC port
area. Both are decorated with old
ceramic tiles and specialise in the
great peasant cooking of the Valencian
region. The most notable reason for
visiting them is to discover Fesol-
i-naps** the “wet” rice dish made
with duck and served in a tureen
with its copious and delicious sauce.
This cuisine needs a good appetite
and deserves much wider recognition
but, as our last visit to Canyes was
very disappointing, we suggest you
proceed with care and book to go to
their sister restaurant, GENUINA,
in the same high street. Easy
parking. Genuina 96 324 8663 &
Canyes (96 324.9085) (best to book)

(a
useful website for Valencia) el arroz
de pato** exquisito, pero cualquier
arroz lo bordan; al horno, paella, a
banda, de cangrejo o el meloso de
bogavante. Platos tan típicos que
muchos valencianos ni conocen,
como me pasó a mi con los postres...

One of the great cuisines of the
Mediterranean, gastronauts will be
pleased to learn that this excellent little
Lebanese restaurant is alive and well
and has moved further down the road
close to the Corte Ingles roundabout
(opp. side to the opera house) and
is better every time we visit - the
more so, when we discovered the
mother of the family has taken over
in the kitchen! Enjoy properly made
Hommous (not the poor UK & EU
supermarket product!), Mtabal (aka
Babaghanoush), Tabbouleh, Falafel &
Sharwama (insist on lamb) as well as
the delicious Fatoush (salad). Superb
puddings! Marvellous Baklawa.
