Best Restaurants in El Carmen

22 restaurants analyzed · Valencia

El Carmen sits at the heart of the old city, where the streets around the Mercat Central draw a strong and varied spread of Mediterranean and Spanish cooking, from casual tapas bars to the kind of sit-down spots worth booking ahead for a special occasion. Prices vary more here than in most neighbourhoods, so you can eat cheaply or push the boat out depending on what you're after. The Italian and broader European options fill in the gaps nicely, making this one of the more rewarding areas in Ciutat Vella to work through at your own pace.
