Restaurant Secret

I made an online reservation. Thomas knew my name when we came at the door. About the food: I can imagine why the are on the list of "places for best paëlla" Because we had visiters we wanted them to taste paëlla Valenciana. The rice was soft but still with a bit, the meat wasn't dry and the taste was excellent. About dessert: Only our children had dessert. Must say I tasted the cheesecake made of goat cheese first that was a mistake because that was so silky,fresh and delicious that the chocolate tart was a bit meh. But still good. Should have tasted the other way around 😊 Our hostess Thomas y Morena where very friendly and also van speak English of you want.

We changed our dinner plans last minute and decided to try Secret based on the great reviews. The staff was friendly and the food was solid. The cheesecake was a standout though, so don’t skip dessert!

After our visit, we realized we definitely needed to come back. We had an early dinner and enjoyed having the restaurant mostly to ourselves, which made it feel very cozy. The service was fantastic, and the food was exceptionally tasty. The paella was super rich and packed with flavor, and the fried brie and duck confit were absolute bangers

I visited the restaurant twice during my stay in Valencia. It is located in a central yet quiet alley – a pleasant contrast to the loud and crowded tourist hotspots. The taste, quality, and craftsmanship of the food are outstanding. I especially recommend the croquettes and the grilled octopus. Moreover, the friendly and attentive service perfectly complements the overall dining experience. Reservations can be made online, and I would definitely recommend doing so. Please note that they charge a 15€ deposit per person for reservations, which is retained in case of a no-show without cancellation.

We were looking for a vegan paella and finally found it here – and it was excellent. The staff was kind, even if the service took a little longer, and the overall atmosphere was very pleasant. The outdoor tables are limited to two people, which is a pity. Overall, everything was good, but it wasn’t really a “wow” experience. Don’t miss the white sangria – highly recommended!
