EPIC Valencia Food Tour (Best Paella, Tapas, Markets & More!)

[@emilyb6166]

Valencia is my dream city to move to and your video added another tantalizing layer onto why I can't wait to live life there! Your authentic convos with locals were so fascinating and seemed like they really captured the spirit of the culture. I love love love both of your personalities and how you interact with everyone with so much sincerity and curiosity! 🥘

[@mariadigiovanni1168]

This was so over the top incredible. James and Yoly you are the number one best food vloggers. You would make Anthony Bourdain proud. Thank you for this!

[@ericaworthington2675]

Living in Valencia over 5 years now, I recommend paella cooked over wood fire as it's more traditional and the smokiness makes a huge difference.

[@peter_bazinet]

It's always special when Yoly is there with you. I love her sense of humor.

[@gonzaloigartua3312]

Sin desmejorar el resto de vuestros videos, os habéis superado, este es el mejor video del canal. ¡Que ganas de ir a Valencia tengo ahora! Simplemente una maravilla.

[@TinWhistler]

Very interesting 😯. Now you need to come to Mallorca and discover the famous "variats", the Majorcan equivalent of esmorzaret/tapas! 🍽️

Incredible! I’m stuffed just watching this program. Looking forward to a trip to Spain in October. Valencia is one of the cities we’ll be visiting. THANK YOU!

[@ashleymarkrhodes1571]

I used to stop for an almuerzo when out with my off-road motocycling pals in the mountains of the Sierra de Mariola. Never managed more than a medio bocadillo, caña and some olives. Sepia's my favourite. Great video!

[@ManjMau]

My wife and I have been living in Valkencia for over 2 years now and we are always trying to dicscover new places to eat. Thank you so much for this video! We will be trying out all of them!

[@cunnerzzz]

What a video this is, I F'ing love Valencian cooking having visited Xabia for so long and cook so much at home, you two have such a natural way to eat and portray your enjoyment of that said thing without acting or becoming a character! Wonderful in depth researching and journalism. Thank you for putting culinary Espana back where it belongs! The Forefront!

[@joep65ck]

Just finishing off 3 weeks doing the Spain tour heavily inspired by your videos. Wow....what a country! We have quality produce in Australia but the food/wine scene in Spain is next level! I don't want to go home! Thanks for your great tips for Barcelona, San Sebastian, Madrid, Seville (wow), Grenada and Valencia! What a great country!

[@briansmith8629]

Just in time! We arrived yesterday to celebrate Fallas and will be taking your advice!

My husband and I loved this video. Can't wait to get back up to Valencia to try some new places to eat. We went to Tasca Angel 3 times the last time we were there. Thank you

[@samuzamorano23]

I’m amazed you were at Nuevo Oslo! I’m sort of a regular there and it’s absolutely class. The daily menu for 11€ is just amazing in terms of sheer quality of the product. Good service, great food and Raul!

[@druiz012]

Live the vermouth section. I never had vermouth until I went to Spain last September. I had it every day while I was there! (7 days) different ones everyday! I loved it! Can't wait to go back to Spain and try more vermouth!

[@mizginavale22]

I live in Valencia and didn't know about some of these places. Cafe Madrid is a beautifully decorated place and the cocktails there are amazing. Boquerones are also one of the first things that I enjoyed eating in Spain. This is a great video and it is good that you got to Valencia and showcased our food. You looked like you had fun here.

[@josealemany4525]

Thanks... so many things my mother used to make that I have forgotten about. AND I noticed you are eating the paella with a spoon directly from the pan. Only thing missing is the bota de vino, but that is more of en el camp.

[@dawntomaski2901]

Great video of Valencian food. I lived there for six years. When I took my husband to Valencia years later, his favorite were tellinas. Yummy. Horchata con fartons- so good!!

Finally!!!! I was sooooo waiting for this one !!! You guys have the best channel to discover Spain 💛💛💛🌻💝 God bless you, your family and the channel 🤍

Ostrava Perrin… words can not describe this gem! We had oysters, canned sardines and the smoked sturgeon. We also had the house made vermouth..Worth every bite!

[@ed-lyne4082]

Wow, just wow! What a video you guys. Lovely to see the three of you. Wow - amazing content. But I guess you know it's good stuff: the people, the tradition, the evolution, the food... I should be going to bed as I've a very busy day tomorrow but I had to drink a sherry (Amontillado) and watch till the end. Bless you, I really enjoy and reminisce a family holiday and paella pilgrimage to Valencia. Best Tony

I've had an urge to visit Valencia for years and this has defo sold me on it! Great video guys.

[@scoutingforhistory4584]

I spent a summer in Alicante with a Spanish family when I was growing up. Out of all the outstanding food, it was the Horchata de chufas that I loved the most. There was a little shop down the street that sold them along with pepitas and other snacks. I was there every day...

[@Torosentao]

For me Alicante is better because it is quieter and if you are looking for tranquility it is better. And the food is delicious.

[@peterbarnes9229]

Wow, a lot of fantastic food looked so tasty thanks for sharing

[@GitFiddler]

Spain also serves the standard cuisine served by other European nations, and in America, roast beef, all saute vegetable dishes, soups, roast chicken, baked and deep fried fish, spaghetti, fried pork chops, steaks, etc. When I drove from Madrid to Benidorm on vacation, I stopped off the side of the highway at what we would call a truck stop. It was not near a large city either, instead it was practically out in the middle of nowhere. The cafe had a 1 fork sign out front. My appetizer plate was a plate of five different saute green vegetables. The brussel sprouts I recall were the best, as they had no earthy type hint at all, showing they must have been marinated in something before being sauted in butter, garlic and olive oil. The main course was what they called 'steak Avila', which was a style of meat from the province of Avila, Spain. It was served with excellent French fries. This meal was so... excellent, everything was perfect, and this was a little cafe out in the middle of nowhere on the side of the highway??

[@mariajoseperisdesco6237]

En España en general, se come muy bien en cada rincón.

[@steveedwards8490]

I've been to Valencia quite a few times and always enjoyed it. We were in one of the little bars on the beach and asked the guy whether he had Aqua de Valencia. He laughed, nodded to the sea and said 'Help Yourself!' So we had Gin Tonica and a few beers. Our genial host brought out a plate of mussels and then clams. And we were happy. Very happy. As usual in Spain, the good stuff is the simple stuff. Love your vids!

[@josesincu]

I'm from Valencia and recently discovered that the almuerzo was only here!!! It's the best meal of the day

[@hikingwithsquirrel]

I have only been to Valencia once and do remember a good meal there, but you have blown what little cover Valencia might still have had as a culinary capital. I'm still in a food coma from just watching, not even following you around and eating all that incredible food myself. Since I will be in Valencia later this year, I will follow some of your footsteps but have to stretch what you and Yoly ate in 3 days to extend to maybe a week! It's so much fun to watch Yoly's expression when she tastes something really good. She has no poker face when it comes to food. The yum is written all over. Thanks for making this video. Like others have noted, your food blogging is becoming as epic as the places you go and the meals you eat with so much happiness.

[@SargBjornson]

Qué bien me viene este video James, ¡mañana mismo me voy a pasar 5 días en Valencia!

This video made us want to go to Valencia so badly. It is going on 4 years this coming July since we were in Spain. Oh how we miss it and want to go back so badly. Still waiting for my Spanish Sephardic Passport. So eager to go there . Because of your videos I have learned not to buy paella from just anywhere in Spain. I ordered Paella at a bus station in Malaga. It was edible but nothing like what you have shown on your channel. The one is this video looked like the chef put lavender on top as a garnish.

[@mitcoes]

Here in Valencia we call paella (pan) just the "valencian paella" and rices with things (arros amb coses) all the other rices. The "rice in paella" they ate is a new recipe, with new invasive crap ingredient. Casa Carmela, Llar Román, or Casa Juan, are 3 great paella restaurants in Valencia, but you can go anywhere in El Palmar, and rices will be from good to excellent.
