RESTAURANTS NEAR EL VALLE;
BANOS Y BENDIGO
Venta Tres Hermanos: is a roadside restaurant serving tapas, lunchtime menu, and more formal evening dining (with Saturday night local music). Although the place does not look like much, the food is good and very reasonably priced. It is also a butcher and here you can buy meat, sausages etc as well eggs, homemade jams, and muffins. Very good goats cheese. It’s a very local place and very busy – we love the atmosphere here.
You can also order a paella to take-away by popping in and ordering an hour or so earlier. You will need to return the paella dish the next day.
(Useful Spanish for ordering paella- UNA PAELLA PARA LLEVAR A CASA POR FAVOR –
Paella to take home please.
PAELLA PARA CUATRO PERSONAS – paella for four people
POLLO Y GAMBAS – Chicken and prawn paella
Directions: Take first exit at main El Valle roundabout and then take second exit at next roundabout (petrol station & entrance to Mosa Trajectum) going under bridge – take exit left and Los Tres Hermanos is on your right.
VALLE DEL SOL RESTAURANT
Another roadside restaurant which has entertainment in the evenings with a set menu.
There’s opera most nights, as well as other musical acts (worth checking out what’s on)
Good fun. Lunchtime there’s a menu del dia. The owner has an excellent operatic voice and he often gets the microphone lunchtimes and sings a few arias, if anyone shows enthusiasm he will sing some more.
