With the good news that from March 1st, the terraces in the Comunidad Valenciana can finally reopen, we naturally want to support the catering industry. They desperately need it. Of course, with due observance of the correct distances to prevent us from being back to square one quickly. The restaurants’ terraces will currently open until 6 p.m. and only for those cafes and restaurants with a terrace, so here is a selection of the best terraces and restaurants with terraces in Valencia. We have tried to select something for everyone’s taste.
Top 10 restaurants with terraces in Valencia
There are, of course, many excellent restaurants in Valencia city, but quite a few with only an interior space and no or limited terraces. There are also many terraces in Valencia where you can relax for a cup of coffee, a glass of wine or a cocktail. Here we have a selection of places where you can eat well and sit outside, often in a beautiful location or with a magnificent view. So the best combination to be able to eat out during these times without running an unnecessary extra risk. We have a Top 10 of the nicest restaurants with terraces in Valencia.
Here is a selection in random order:
1. Atic Palau Alameda
Literally and figuratively, a TOP location. In this beautiful building near Alameda next to the Turia, you can enjoy good food and drink on the roof. Spacious and, of course, fantastic to see a sunset over the city or at special parties (including Fallas) you have a top view of the fireworks here. Highly recommended.
Since 2019, the lovely fishing district Cabanyal has been enriched with a new gastro market: Mercabanyal. Close to the beach, you will find a nice collection of different stalls for drinks and food, where you can sit in a pleasant atmosphere. This way everyone can eat what he or she wants, but all happy together.
Le Favole has been an absolute favourite for many years with its atmospheric restaurant near the Mercado Central. On the quiet square, they also have a spacious terrace outside. They service delicious Italian food. You can also expect good service and be assured that you’ll always feel welcome with owner Frank and his team. If you want Italian food for a change.
At Duna Puerto, you can see the port of Valencia from a different angle. Both inside and outside a beautiful location with a view of Valencia’s characteristic buildings: Veles e Vents, the former starting tower of America’s Cup. Beautiful location with delicious food, we can heartily recommend the fish in the salt!
Many people already know the first nice part at the beach of Patacona, including La Más Bonita. If you walk a little further, you will arrive at the spacious Brassa de Mar restaurant with a slightly hip and luxurious lounge atmosphere first line on the Patacona beach. Also great for paella on a Sunday afternoon!
In the middle of the bustling district of Canovas with the best food street in Valencia, Calle Conde Altea, you will find the nice restaurant Casel-la. On the corner at Barcode, you can have an aperitif or just end the evening, but you will eat a la carte at Casel-la or opt for an affordable menu.
Right in Valencia’s centre, you will find the Lateral Patriarca restaurant with a spacious terrace on the corner of one of the most beautiful squares in Valencia. It has a luxurious look but is delicious food and a break from the hustle and bustle. If the terrace is full, you can try Tago Mago (from the Saona group) on the other corner.
On another lovely square, this time in the El Carmen district in the centre, you will find the café-restaurant Infanta on Plaza Tossal. Always a pleasant buzz. The restaurant inside looks like a brown pub, but outside, there is enough space and tables for a snack, tapas, and a drink.
Less than 400 meters from Infanta towards the Turia, you will find La Pitusa. This typical Spanish restaurant also has a spacious terrace located on a reasonably quiet square. Sit in the sun or the shade and enjoy tasty tapas or a nice ‘menu del dia’ with a refreshing drink. Relax and enjoy!
This is probably the best-known beach club in Valencia, but we cannot conclude this list without this most famous beach club in Valencia: the Marina Beach Club. This Ibiza-style club/restaurant offers delicious food both indoors and outdoors and fine tables with a view of the swimming pool, beach and sea. What do you need more?
