Excellent tapas, especially "secreto" and tomate Valenciana, the sangria is also very good.The best place we tried in ValenciaAdvised
We had a happy stop by chance on a Thursday afternoon. The tapas menu is not extensive but everything we ordered was delicious and prepared with flavour and skill. The squid was tender and delicious, the mini burgers were packed with flavour and the omelette crumbly and light. I added the special sangria, which was light and refreshing, though I’m not sure why it commands such a high price, I can complain as it was what I had hoped for. The staff were all friendly and dishes were delivered to share when ready. Overall we are very happy we were off the usual track and found it.
Was expecting something good, but their dishes were average. Would suggest to find something else as this is a tourist trap.
Russian salad from a jar from Mercadona, and the emptiness was not emptiness. We came for the rating, and we don't know if they have changed owners, but the quality is a 3/10
Went here with my ex wife on our layover from her new boyfriends wedding in the Maldives to try maybe work everything out and give it another shot as she is the love of my life and is a big enjoyer of grilled meats and seafoods. Our first date was in a seafood restaurant. The beef came out and it took me 3 days to chew it, this made it impossible to win her back as I couldn't speak. I was then rushed to hospital with lock jaw. 0 stars if I could would not recommend.
Claan was a pleasant surprise. A few steps from the central market we had dinner in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent calamari, Valencian tomato, provoletta, Russian salad. Absolutely worth it!
We had lunch at this place and were thrilled. Delicious meat and fish.Sangria normal.
This was the first restaurant I visited during my trip to Valencia, and I had high expectations based on my previous dining experiences in Barcelona, Seville, Madrid, and San Sebastian. Our hotel, which was nearby, recommended this place. It's tucked away in a small alley, and honestly, if you just walk by, it doesn't catch your eye or make you feel like you should stop and try it.We chose to sit outside because the inside felt a bit dull and empty, especially during the summer. The service was friendly and quick, which was a plus. We started with a pitcher of white sangria and then ordered our food. We had padrón peppers, Valencian tomatoes with goat cheese, grilled provoleta cheese, grilled artichokes, and finally, the house specialty: grilled squid.Overall, I would rate the food as good to average. There was nothing wrong with it, but nothing stood out either. I think my expectations were set too high, so I ended up feeling a bit disappointed.
Excellent service, the food is spectacular, you can tell how fresh the food is! Highlighting the attention of the waiter Nacho, very attentive and friendly! We will return...
Very good restaurant, the food is very good, Diego is a super waiter who is really very nice.
We ate there on a Tuesday lunchtime after visiting the cathedral (family of 2 adults + 2 teenagers). Very warm welcome from everyone, but Nacho was our server for our table. He does not speak French, but showed patience and smiles to understand us (a mix of Spanish and English), knowing that it is possible to have the map in French thanks to a QR code. Nacho advised us on tapas, so we were able to try- their squid (delicious but salty),-their beet/orange salad with sardines- Iberian ham (delicious) with more classic cheese,- tomato with ham and goat cheese (also very good).- small basket of toast to dip in melting cheese, Argentinian specialtyWe tasted a red sangria, and a rosé which is lighter accompanied by olives. We enjoyed this break and this lunchtime welcome with fresh produce.You should know that unlike in France, bread and bottle of water are extra in Spanish restaurants.All inclusive we got for 79€ for 4.We, like the children, were delighted.
Excellent restaurant in the alleys of Valencia!The waiter advised us to take the calamari and in particular the tomato with cheese and tuna, both really delicious dishes! 100% recommended
Excellent treatment and good food. One of us has an intolerance and they were attentive at all times.
Don't ask for olives, olives!! They STICK you 2 euros for four olives with herbs.I WILL NOT RETURN
The food was not very special. It was quite tasty but there wasn't much choice. The service was a bit disorderly but very friendly.
From the moment you arrive, you are captivated by the warm welcome you receive. The environment, of simple but effective elegance, makes you feel at ease while immersing you in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The products used are of impeccable quality, demonstrating attention to detail and deep respect for ingredients. Here, simplicity is synonymous with refinement: each dish is executed with a precision that pays tribute to authentic flavors. Whether for an intimate dinner or an outing with friends, this place is a true gem that I highly recommend to all lovers of good cuisine.
Best tapas in town! I suggest the Saint Jacques, the calamares and the carne de ternera Argentina!!
Excellent restaurant, great service, the best calamari in town. congratulations
I have no words to thank both the staff and the managers for the treatment received, but thanks to Tomás and Ignacio who made us feel comfortable. The tapas we chose were all exquisite, we will return without hesitation. Thank you team and thank you for your smiles.Quality price and above all comfort.
Small restaurant with terrace in a quiet side streetVery very friendly service, simple but efficient and smiling… and above all we ate very, very well…!Incredible sardine salad with beets and orange! Provola worthy of the name!Sliced beef except extra chimichurri!And for a normal price!Very cool !
The beers a little expensive. The treatment of the waiters very good. For 4 pints and some olives 26 euros....
A must on each of our visits to Valencia! Tasty tapas, excellent wine and super welcoming service!
Fish was cooked with a lot of bones inside and rest tapas were not very tastySangria cooked with a lot of sugar on bottom of glass
Very tasty food and friendly staff. All very smoothly too. The toilets are very old and in need of renovation. Definitely recommended.
We were the first customers and the only ones for quite a bit after the restaurant opened but the waiter didn't even give us 3 minutes before he asked what we wanted to order. He then came 2 minutes after, we felt rushed, mind you the place was essentially empty. The food was alright taste wise, and certainly felt overpriced. We found restaurants nearby that were noticeably cheaper. We came here because of the 4.6 rating, we had a 3.0 experience.
We were here several times because we couldn't find better tapas anywhere in the area, sangria red, rose and white - all great! Staff very friendly! We recommend!
The tapas are delicious and the waiter is very enthusiastic and patient in introducing the dishes.
Spectacular attention going with a baby stroller they gave us a thousand facilities. Also very good food at a reasonable price. They were honest telling us we were asking too much.
three great experiences. We were here three times and each time we were more than satisfied. Very good tapas, super nice (even German-speaking) service. Gluten-free dishes are absolutely no problem. clann is definitely recommended. Thanks
TOP.Fast, efficient, good quality and excellent treatment.1000% recommended.
Best in Valencia, great food, great wines and great service! Really enjoyed
We came to this restaurant by chance to “have a bite to eat”, we ordered several tapas to try and it ended up being a complete lunch. Everything was delicious, and the quantities were generous.The price too, according 👌🏽I want to go back!
We tried their sangria, as well as the octopus and a charcuterie and cheese board. It was good, but not great.Prices are high.At 18 euros, we found the board to not be very generous.
The truth is, an excellent place, spectacular service, Tomás very good and helpful
We only went to order some beers and they did not want to let us enter the premises and serve because they only wanted to give food when they had the bar empty.
Very good and typical tapas, was recommended to us by friends and exceeded our expectations. Be sure to try the house specialties.
How lucky we were to find this restaurant, one of the best in Valencia. We ate there twice during our 6 day stay. The Tomate Valenciano with goat cheese is especially recommended. Also very tasty meat dishes. The service is top notch, especially when you are served by Fedde.
A shame, they give you 4 olives as an appetizer after ordering 12 drinks and for the second round they charge you 4 euros for the same appetizer. Pathetic.
Good food right inside tourist spots. A little bad in English. Recommended.
This is very long overdue, but I have to show admiration for Jose and Pillar who provided me with not just some of the best food I ate during my visit to Valencia, but some of the best hospitality I have experienced.I was lucky enough to stumble upon Bar Clann in 2020 before the pandemic. It looked like they were about to close, but Jose and Pillar welcomed me to join for some food and drinks.The calamari was amazing and the pork cheek was so tender I can still remember it. I also tried rabbit for the first time which Jose made with simplicity but also incredibly delicious.Thank you again and I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Valencia!
"My experience at the restaurant was exceptional, in large part thanks to the attention of Tomás, who was our waiter. His service was impeccable: friendly, attentive and efficient. Tomás made sure that every detail was perfect, from our drinks to the presentation of the dishes. His knowledge of the menu and his recommendations were spot on. Without a doubt, his professionalism and positive attitude made our meal even more enjoyable. Thank you, Tomás, for a memorable dining experience!"
Best Argentinian empanadas I have had in Valencia so far! If you are in Valencia on a Wednesday, you must come! Plus, the best staff! Thomas was especially wonderful, and I hope you get the luck of having him as a waiter for your table!
Great food, friendly staff and chill atmosphere.Exceeded my expectations, especially for being in a tourist area.
Such a great experience, drinks & food soo good. Sat outside, nice sunny day with Sangria & Beers! The grilled squid & grilled cheese was amazing.
A great Valencian discovery, good wines, good food and Argentine service from 💯 Sebastián and Tomás.Yesterday we repeated and the service and quality is maintained.Charming atmosphere, accompanied by the joy and harmony of its people, it is undoubtedly a success.We will repeat on our return to the city of Turia.Thank you for making us enjoy some unique moments.
The food is horrible.. it was leftover from day before, the squids were very salty and the pork cheek was tasteless..
Delicious food and friendly service for a reasonable price. However, we’ve had better prawns and scallops elsewhere in Valencia. Still with the visit though!
I don't usually write reviews, but this place has really great food and wine at a great price
Highly Recommended. Service and ambience were very good and a fine selection of excellent tapas.
Nice food and atmosphere, friendly service. We had an enjoyable evening sat outside. We had Valencian tomato and goat’s cheese, grilled provoleta, grilled squid and Argentine beef entrecôte - all very tasty.Definitely recommend this place.
The food was good, especially the grilled calamari, but the cost was really excessive considering the portions. Clearly a place for tourists, therefore very small portions and very high prices. Pretty good service, nothing to complain about except that they brought us the second half of the tapas 15 minutes after the first, and I didn't understand why since it was only cheese.The food was good but the portions left me dissatisfied.
This is a nice tapas bar in a very busy part of old town. The ambiance and service was very good, the food was excellent. We were sat in the back near the toilets (it is a small bar) which was less than thrilling. I would recommend sitting outside, regardless of the weather.
The food was very good. We were there on a very busy day and had a small table outside. Reservations recommended.
We went to dinner and everything was on point. The tomato salad with mojama, the squid, the entrails and the spectacular entrecôte... We weren't expecting anything special and it left us speechless. The food is not pretentious at all, it is simply a good product and very well prepared by the cooks. For dessert we ordered the mango and caramel creme brulee mmmm, brutal. The service very good too. To repeat.
Very very good dishes, friendly and attentive service!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Everything we ordered was fantastic and interesting.The atmosphere is relaxed.Do not miss this positive restaurant.
Fine and tasty cuisine. No frying or microwaves here, everything is fresh, direct from the market. Very good address.
Good little tapas bar. My favorite were the tomatoes with goat cheese and ham. The other tapas were also very good. And generous portions.The “large” 1kg steak, which the waitress said was too much for 2, had so much bones and fat that 2 adults unfortunately couldn't get enough of it.
Had a mediocre lunch. Not much flavor. A dish featuring tomatoes with goat cheese was served with hard, underripe tomatoes. To be fair, the goat cheese was good. Pork overcooked. Omelet flavorless. Artichokes overcooked. Bummer.
Excellent dinner for a reasonable price!We had it under our apartment and I thought it was just a bar but then I read the menu and I was intrigued.We ate well in a very nice and charming place in the center of Valencia. I recommend it and if I return, I will return to eat here too.
Place in the center of Valencia with a rustic touch, wooden decoration and atmosphere that makes it cozy. The service is not entirely fast but the atmosphere and food are worth the wait. I recommend their Valencian tomatoes, cheek and squid with garlic and parsley.
An incredibly friendly atmosphere with outstanding cuisine. Absolutely recommended.
Very good tapas restaurant, quality tapas, apart from that I enjoyed myself with very welcoming and smiling staff, in short I recommend 100%
Tonight we had dinner at this restaurant with 4 people. You can eat outside and inside. Excellent and friendly service. Nice menu with tapas and more extensive dishes. Really good quality. It's a bit out of the way, but we can recommend this restaurant.
Spectacular place a few steps from the round square, where you can eat and have a good time. Traditional and modern cuisine with local flavors, be sure to try the Valencian tomato and the meat, which is delicious, in addition to the other dishes and the crazy desserts. We will be back
As every time I come to Valencia, the service at Clann is top notch, even overwhelmed by the influx of tourists during the holidays. To highlight the contagious good humor of Fedde, the waiter of unparalleled height.
Nice place in a small street. It took a really long time for our food to be served, but the staff gave us olives while we're waiting.Fresh grilled shrimp. I also liked the Valencian burger with delicious potatoes. The artichokes seemed to be a bit undercooked, they were quite hard. The sangria was delicious and refreshing.Overall, not a bad place. Might be worth a visit.
Exceptional and unforgettable fish tapas. I recommend Calamari, prawns and a surprising beetroot and sardine salad. Excellent local beer.
Excellent place/tavern with traditional food but without giving up current gastronomic touches. Also traditional decoration, appreciated in the midst of so many gastrobars (all the same).A little beyond the Plaza Redonda in Valencia.Excellent squid, the wonderful secret, with Indian touches in the sauces, Valencian tomato 🍅 that tastes like tomato.Highly recommended, not a very large but endearing place if you want to escape from the super-massive tourist sites.
This was the first restaurant my wife and I went on our honeymoon and boy were we fortunate. This was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. All of the tapas were fabulous and the ambiance was quiet and romantic, perfect for the first night getting settled in. The owner even offered us an after dinner drink on the house. We will definitely be returning to Valencia and Clann Bar Tapas again!
Came here with two kids. Had a selection of daily specials and they were delicious. Not small tapas, but normal meal portions. The pigs cheek was sooo tender. Argentina beef was delicious and the pork with honey and mustard sauce beautiful. Very attentive service, very friendly staff. Would recommend. Garlic mayo was very good. Empty plates all around, adults and kids
Hungry and thirsty, we arrived at the place just at rush hour, during the culmination of Las Fallas, but despite the large number of reserved tables, the polite gentleman found a table for us and took care of us.We ate very good tapas.Delicious wine, beer.Fantastic place.
We cannot comment on the food since we only drank a Valencian water, it should be noted that it was very delicious. Mention the good treatment and friendliness of the staff, especially Alberto. Thank you so muchWe will return with some colored popcorn.
Alberto, the waiter who served us today, on a day of extreme failures, was the best. Impeccable attention, patience and good humor. That's how it's nice to go places to eat. Close and professional. The waiter greatly improves the quality of a place
We went here for a few drinks. The service was friendly and the drinks were well chilled.
Random choice for a tapas supper, and we were not disappointed!! A great choice of dishes, and ours were delicious! Plus great beer... And the staff were friendly and helpful...
The food a total disaster. Cold Valencian tomatoes without any aroma, normal if they have been in the refrigerator, real chefs know this. Padron peppers in garlic oil!! And this was served to us after I had mentioned that I have a garlic intolerance. The peppers were not done, they were also served with ham that turned into chewing gum. Grilled meat and vegetables, burnt potatoes on one side and not done on the other. Cooked without salt. The place is quite nice and quiet, the wine average, not corresponding to the price. Shameful. I would give the food 0 stars if it were possible.
We came across this bar by chance in the evening and had very good tapas. We ate the beetroot with orange and smoked sardines, which was really very delicate and well balanced. We also had grilled squid, which we have never eaten so well either. Super tender and delicately seasoned. Then there were tomatoes with goat cheese and dried tuna. It wouldn't be bad if the tomatoes were at room temperature, but they came straight from the fridge. But the goat cheese was very tasty (if you like goat cheese) and the tuna slices were also very good, although they almost sank a bit. The service was also very friendly.
Quality cuisine and very pleasant staff. We had an extremely good lunch. It was beyond delicious. Thank you for this good time spent in your restaurant. The place is also very nice.
Terrible service, they have not brought me food, literally, my friends have eaten and I have not, well what I have had from their dishes was good.And yet the worst thing is that there is no apology.
Up a bit of a back street this avoiding mad tourist stuff, well worth seaking out. We visited 2 nights out of our 3 in Valencia.
Genuine ingredients purchased directly from the Central Market prepared simply but with care.Very generous portions at a good price. Tapas Top!
Fantastic! Great atmosphere. Great food. Great service. Smoked sardines with beet (yes!), liver small burger (yum!), and so on. Take the wine recommendations. Loved it!
We were lured by the high rating of this restaurant and we came for a try - unfortunately the experience was quite poor: all food was average - the pimientos de padron was not very fresh thus not tasty as the one we tried (&loved) in another high rating tapas restaurant. All meats were quite “standard” and a little bit “industrialized” - giving the feeling of eating in a Corporate canteen… the only above average tapas was the squid which was fresh and good. The staff is ok but long waiting (even asked several times for the bill) as there was only 2 serving around 10 tables.
Very basic. The quality does not match the prices.I do not recommend it...
This one suggested by our colleague and it’s as best as she said. Atmosphere is great so does the service. Food is as delicious as it looked. One of THE BEST GRILLED SQUID I ever had.
This restaurant is great! The food is good, the waiters are nice, there is a little background music, everything is perfect!What I don't really like is the price of the tapas. They are 20 -30 €. But it's worth it, I would eat here many more times. 🤤😄
Everything was great and the service was spectacular, a cozy and exquisite place to enjoy good food.
Perfect combination; great food, friendly and easy service and a great atmosphere. We had tapas and wine for lunch and it was amazing. The calamari was out of this world; it is their signature plate and we understand why, it is simply perfect.Do not expect fancy, expect friendly, relaxed and great food. Everything is sourced from the local market. We really enjoyed it.
Me and my husband called to reserve a table because we heard that Clann often is fully booked. We got very lucky because they had exactly a table for two left. We were treated very kindly and the staff was extremely welcoming. They helped us to choose delicious tapas and recommended us amazing drinks. Everyone spoke English and it was a very comfortable atmosphere. The place is easy to reach by foot and located in an area with lots of bars and restaurants, so if there is still space in the stomach I recommend to start your tapas hopping from here. We ordered many options of the tapas ( especially the squid and the argentinian meat from the rip needs to be ordered), had aqua de Valencia and the price for both of us was still very reasonable. We were also spoiled with a soft yummy schnapps at the end.This place is a must try if you are in Valencia!!
Tapas place with local products, good and quite varied cuisine. The overall experience was positive and I would definitely return in a different season to taste different products.
It is essential to feel comfortable in a Syrian, I liked it a lot and thank you for the attention received from 10
Very good place in Valencia for tapas!We had different kind of tapas and we liked everything!I would suggest the ensaladilla russa, the Valencian tomatoes and the jamon!The price was in line with our expectations
Exceptional food, wonderful service, great price. Squid, artichoke and beetroot salad with orange the highlights
We were there this Sunday, without knowing him at all. We stopped to make a beer and we liked the service so much that we made a reservation for lunch. Everything was great and the attention was great. We ordered the padrón peppers, the artichokes, the squid, the figatells and bread with all i oli, more drinks and coffees. We already told them that we would return for sure. Highly recommended. Thank you guys very much for your attention and that little mischief.
We had the best dinner in Valencia at CLANN BAR TAPAS! The food was more than delicious. It was outstanding! The atmosphere was delightful, and the service was excellent, extremely friendly and helpful server. We loved how the chef took traditional Spanish Tapas and added a touch of Irish and Argentinean influence. I highly recommend the scallops, mini burgers, grilled calamari, and anchovy with tomato and cheese. Highly recommended!!
Great tapas restaurants. The best squid I've ever had the opportunity to eat in my life ❣️.
3 of us came with our 5 year old.We shared a plate of grilled vegetables, meat skewers, Russian salad and ham plates (chorizo, ham and salami). Nothing with lactose and everything was delicious! We left nothing.We recommend
Typical Tapas Bar in the center of Valencia, good food at normal prices.
Very good treatment of the meat, everything is on point, both the pork and the beef, next to the cathedral, quality-price ratio of 10.
The food is delicious, waiters are nice/friendly. Great selection of food, good idea to eat tapas.The beet salad is amazing! The potato omelette was the best I have eaten in Spain.
Excellent food, fresh for sure: the owner recommended that we only order what we were sure we could finish and appreciate.Very courteous staff
Super, recommended and also the guy who served us was super nice. Thanks for your attention 😉
Great food selection, the calamari was delicious and one of the best we’ve had. Very friendly service too and great outdoor sitting area. Good sangria as well.
Good atmosphere, good service and delicious food. Normal prices, which is appreciated. The ribeye and calamari are especially good.
Top notch across the board. Food drinks and service were fantastic. Well worth a visit.
Delicious food, great location, lovely atmosphere, one of my favourite place to bring my guests for tapas.
We had a lovely late lunch at this tapas bar.The sangria is amazing!The squid and figatelle were also amazing.Wish we had room for dessert.Highly recommend!!
A large place in the center of Valencia. Exorbitant prices for what it offers
Nice, friendly service. Good selection of tapas. Interior could be more visually pleasing . Overall nice for a quick bite
Bad food and bad service. Don't ask for the Iberian board, it's ham from the winery and a few pieces of semi-cheese. Nothing "Iberian" or La Mancha. The squid are tiny and are squid. They bring you the wine already served, without showing the bottle. The stale bread. Very small portions. A total deception!!!
We went to celebrate a friend's birthday.Correct place, without further ado. Somewhat small lids
Delicious food! Small charming restaurant with good food and great service. Glad to have found this place.
Didn’t have any food, but their drinks are amazing. Beautiful place, as well. Service was very fast and polite. It’s in a very popular area so there’s other attractions around. I’d return here.
A great place to taste Spanish tapas. Delicious.🙂👍 Poetry of taste.
My favorite tapas bar in the center 🫶 The food is really really tasty, I would say much lighter than the tapas in some other bars (less fried, more fresh food). It’s nice for lunch or dinner with friends (remember to book in advance for the evening!). You have to try the salad with tomato valenciano. Staff is always super friendly, food not overpriced. I’m coming back often with pleasure 🙂
