Fine dining with deliciousย paella? Ness is where you have to be!
If there is something Spain is known for, it’s paella. And I am crazy about it! I even learned how to prepare it myself on a city trip toย Valenciaย atย Escuela de Arroces y Paella. But obviously it’s nicer when a chef prepares it for you ;-). That’s why I went for dinner at restaurant Nessย in the city centre ofย Valencia. Because here they know how to make really good paella.
Where our Dutchies can skip a lunch easily, in Valencia it’s a different thing. They take their time for it. Like sitting down on a sunny terrace, with delicious wines. Also, I sat down at Ness around lunch timeย where we drank a beautifulย Cava fromย Hoya de Cadenas. After that they served a variety of small starters. Carpaccio of beef and aย carpaccio of shrimpย (surprisingly tasty!), a fresh greenย salad with cucumber andย tomato, cheeses, Spanish chorizo and bread. Tip: don’t eat to much of the starter, because the main is still coming and I’m pretty sure you want toย finish it completely!
Paella X Ness Valencia
After the starter it was time for paella. In aย massiveย big pot. Filled with delicious seafood like mussels, shrimps and other shellfish.ย It looked amazing, smelled gorgeous and tasted delicious! A good paella has to stick a little at the bottom of the pan so you get that light roasted flavour. And let me tell you a secret: this was a very good paella! ;-) Naturally served with a good white wine from winery Vicente Gandรฌaย where we did a wine tasting!
Bon Appetit!
