The area surrounding the Mestalla Stadium and Avenida de Aragón has always been a lively meeting point in Valencia. However, when it comes to finding a truly exceptional dining experience, it’s easy to get lost among conventional tourist traps or standard bars.
If you are wondering where to find the best restaurant to eat near Mestalla, the answer awaits just a short walk from the stadium, at 28 Amadeo de Saboya Street. At La Cantina Gastrotaberna, we have designed a culinary proposal where top-quality ingredients, flawless technique, and profound flavor come together to offer you unforgettable tapas and sharing plates.
Way Beyond Standard Tapas: Our Signature Dishes
Our philosophy in the kitchen is clear: take tradition and elevate it to an art form. We don’t settle for “good enough”; we strive for absolute excellence in every bite. That is why our regular customers and food critics already position us as a benchmark in the city, thanks to dishes like these:
-
The Best Torrezno de Soria in Valencia: Forget any pork belly you have tried before. Our torrezno features a spectacularly crispy crackling on the outside, while the inside remains meltingly tender and deeply flavorful, transporting you straight to the heart of traditional Spanish cuisine. It is highly addictive and an absolute must-order.
-
Unrivaled Octopus with Parmentier: Achieving the perfect texture for octopus is a challenge, but we have mastered the formula. Perfectly tender on the inside with a flawless outer char, resting on a bed of potato parmentier so silky and rich that many already rate it as the best octopus in all of Valencia.
-
Sublime Artichoke with Egg Yolk Emulsion and Iberian Jowl: A dish of pure elegance. The tender artichoke heart melts together with the richness of a cured egg yolk emulsion and the crispy, savory touch of Iberian pork jowl (papada). An umami explosion that will leave you speechless.
-
The Finest Local Cocas: We pay tribute to our region with artisanal cocas (traditional Valencian flatbreads). Baked to a perfect thin and crispy crust, they are crowned with gourmet ingredients that change regularly to feature the freshest market produce.
A Wine List That Rivals Prestigious Fine-Dining Spots
Any great dish is left incomplete without the right glass of wine. As our loyal guests already know, at La Cantina Gastrotaberna, wine is not just an accompaniment; it is one of our main pillars.
Our wine list is curated with the passion and rigor of an enological temple. We feature an impressive selection of national and international references, small-batch productions, and highly sought-after vintage bottles that, without any pretension, rival the cellars of many highly prestigious fine-dining restaurants.
From dreamy white Burgundies and Galician whites to iconic reds from Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and, of course, our beloved D.O. Valencia. Our sommelier team will ensure you find the perfect pairing. Can you imagine how that crispy torrezno tastes alongside a grand vintage red, or our artichoke paired with a complex white wine aged on its lees?
