Restaurant El Palmar

We took a place outside to eat.
Even if they spoke mainly Spanish they did a very good service. Answering or questions and helping us with the menu.

To begin, we asked a sangria, quite sweet to my taste... I couldn't really taste the alcohol, but was a good one.
We took some tapas: 2 bravas (delicious, with Tabasco sauce and garlic maionese), ensalada, Clochinas Al vapor(very good), Puntilla fresca (it's fried, good but quite oily, wouldn't really recommend).
We took a 2 people vegetable Paella, it was good (but not exceptional) to share to 3 . The salt was in a good amount for my friends, but a little salty to me. There was also a considerable amount of oil on it but something that you can get used to.
The server thaugh us how to eat it in their way (scratching the borders of the pan, going into the inside of the pan, mixing a little and eating), it assured a better experience.

We ate well, couldn't finish everything (half of 1 portion of bravas and half of Puntilla fresca to take away).

Even if we asked it separately, they gave the ticket as if it was their tasting menu (19,99/person), what stayed cents cheaper than if we payed it separately (if I'm not wrong).

I think taking the tasting menu could be a good idea, because you would still take a dessert, but we were good with that we ordered.

Can't say about the inside because didn't see it, but the personal service gave us a really good experience together with the food.

Edit: the paella serves minimum 2 people, it looks like it's not a lot, but with the things that we took at the side, was quite too much for 3

I highly recommend this restaurant! The staff was very friendly and hospitable. they explained everything, helped to choose well, simply nice people. Food delicious and value for money ratio definitely a plus.

We were made very welcome and had a lovely time. We did have one issue with a very fatty steak but the waiter couldn't have responded better. A whole new meal appeared very quickly and was perfect. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and I have been in many of the local restaurants.

The place are very nice, people are friendly, and the food is the best and fresh. Best paella.

I ate here on a quiet wednseday of January, was walking between the streets of El Palamar and found this super cute and good restaurante: I didn't expect to find a restaurant this good:
Las croquetas y la paella fueron geniales, muy muy ricas!
El servicio tambien fue bonito: kind people and also super fast!

Fantastic food and the best paella in town.. people that work speak English and have to try the sangria

This was recommended by some locals, and I'm so glad we ventured out because the paella was spectacular!

Perfect paella served by even better staff.

El Palmer is a beautiful little town that sits between the lake, ocean and farming fields - predominantly rice.

We came out to see the lake itself and for whatever reason, we didn't manage to do this so instead we walked around d the town and stumbled upon this restaurant. Being English with minimal Spanish "yo no hablo much espanol", it's sometimes hard to communicate, but perseverance and sign language get you far! Luckily, this restaurants had really friendly staff, some of whom spoke English enough to accommodate us. We were travelling with out baby who also got a lot of attention. She lapped this up.

We sat and ate a 3 course meal with the cremdalacrem being the paella. We went with a mixed meat and fish. It came out in a huge dish for two (and baby). It was amazing! The prawns/shrimp were very fresh and the whole thing came to 30 euro which included drinks. Would highly recommend.

The restaurant itself spans across two streets. The main square one one side and the canal on the other so you really get a choice on your view.

Decent restaurant and really affordable. Staff is friendly and kids are welcome. There's a backside parking lot used for extra tables, and a dock for a trip around the Albufera at the same lot. All in all a great weekend trip. Do prepare for traffic jams however.

Amazing food and brilliant service! Took the boat trip with food after and would definitely recommend :)
