Casa la Abuela

Valencia Province


On the main drag through town, 'Grandma's House' has an old-style front bar – unchanged in 50 years – and a more modern, formal dining room. Highlights include arroz con costra, an Alicante-style rice dish finished off in the oven, and quality meat options. Prices are a little above typical grandmotherly economics.
