Vuelve Carolina

Valencia


Overseen from a distance by noted chef Quique Dacosta, this upbeat bar-restaurant offers style – those clothes-horse bar stools could be more comfy though – and an inspiring selection of tapas and fuller plates. These range from exquisite Japanese-influenced creations to tacos, rices and more. Service is solicitous, and watching the open kitchen under the benevolent gaze of cardboard deer heads is always entertaining.
