La Vida es Bella

Top choice in Valencia


The front terrace or back garden of this innovative spot make great places to relax and absorb Benimaclet life with a beer or bite. More house than restaurant, it exudes a casual charm and heartening enthusiasm. The food is cheerful and presented with a flourish. Burgers, salads and sartenes (pan-fried combinations) are all delicious and great value.
