We had one day in Valencia and made a fortuitous pick to have Sundaylunch at Canela's ''bodegon' just up the street from the restaurant. The staff was super, welcoming, good service and the food was delicious and very fairly priced. We had been in search for the perfect paella for a week and took the opportunity at Canela's to try...

I have been out in Valencia several times and never been treated so bad. This Restaurant ruined my day out with my friends. The Service was TERRIBLE. The food came out late and the rice was so overcooked that was inedible. We complained to the waiter and not only they did not apologised but also told us that we did... More

We came across for a lunch. The place was noisy and busy. Because of our small child we were sitted on the ground floor next to the stairs. Well... this was not the best choice from the beginning. I was disturbed from the waiter all the time passing over my head. We ordered directly a main dish which was almost... More

We just finished dining at Canela a few moments ago and HAD to write this while all details are fresh. We arrived about seven minutes prior to their closing for lunch. We had traveled the last 15 hours by train from Lisbon and were tired and hungry. We chose Canela based on Trip Advisor reviews and really wanted to partake... More

Really wonderful food and wonderful experience. Very helpful and informative staff. Had the 3- course meal, but it turned out to be nearly 7 before we were finished. Enjoyed every course, but the fish (main course) was just too much for my wife - she had eaten as much as she could, but forced a little of the fantastic selection... More

We enjoyed the best paella of our trip to Valencia in this restaurant. Unlike many other restaurants where we had a rice dish, the paella in Canela was rich in flavour from the ingredients and meats used and not because it was loaded with a flavoured stock. The rice was perfectly cooked. The breads to accompany were fresh and delicious... More

tried out this restaurant based on the reviews and they were spot on. The restaurant is a little bit out of the city centre but its well worth making the trip. The cuisine is best described as traditional with a modern twist. We had stuffed peppers and paella valencian and they were both very good. The staff were very friendly... More

We made a reservation for 9 people and ended up turning up with 15, and they were totally charming. Ordered paella for all but one, and starters. Super starters (artichoke special of the day was excellent), and the paella arrived in a huge pan, piping hot, and tasty tasty tasty. Good wine list including some fine local wines. Charming, attentive... More
