1. The Not So Obvious Choice

If you think about a burger joint, you think of a counter, a couple of chairs and some tables. You are less likely to think about washers and dryers and a soap dispenser. But that is exactly how one burger operates. Here you eat inside a laundromat and order via a soap dispenser. You have a couple food options but don’t expect too much. For example, there is only one burger on the menu. The name One burger now makes sense. Once you have ordered, you collect your meal by opening a door of a washing machine. Located near Estadio Mestalla it is the perfect place to go to before or after a soccer game.

2. Hundred Burgers

This well-known burger joint has multiple locations throughout Valenica. Here you can enjoy a burger as well as other dishes like fries and nachos. If you like a burger but you’re not really a meat lover. Vegetarians can enjoy multiple options of the dishes Hundred has to offer. The location we think is the best is located in the city center near the central train station of Valencia.

3. Goiko

This establishment is a 2-minute walk from Plaza de la Reina. At this burger joint you can enjoy a variety of burgers. They offer items for meat lovers and vegetarians. The ambiance in the restaurant is cozy yet spacious. What stands out at this burger joint in contrast with a Hundred burgers, is that there is only one location where you can go to. So, if you want to enjoy a burger at this place. Make sure to reserve a table in advance.

4. The Smash Burger 

A burger that isn’t really popular in Europe is a smash burger. This is a burger that what the name suggests is smashed, so the result is a patty that is only a few millimetres thick. In large cities this type of burger seems to take over rather quickly. A place that is helping this movement in Valencia is named ‘’Tasty American Burgers’’ they are a specialist in these types of burgers. Here you can enjoy a variety of burgers that are crispy from the outside but soft from the inside. This brings a different but tasty experience if you try it for the first time. With two locations it’s easy to visit a place near you. With one location between the neighbourhood Patraix and La Raïosa, and the other located in the heart of El Carmen, makes it perfect for people who live in the city center or those just outside.

With all of these places we hope that you can enjoy a familiar meal from home that will make you feel a bit less homesick and more at ease in Valencia. Even if you where not feeling sick, we hope you also found this list interesting, and we hope we helped you discover some places that satisfy your burger cravings!

Valencia has a variety of delicious local foods. We have listed some of our favourites below that you should definitely try while living in Valencia!

1. Orxata (Horchata) and Fartons

Horchata is a sweet, nutty and refreshing traditional drink. Served cold, it is a perfect cooler on a hot Valencian day. It looks like milk but it is actually made from tiger nuts (tigernuts), water, and sugar. Tiger nuts are small tubers that originate from Egypt and were introduced to Valencia by Arabs in the 8th century. Tiger nut milk is similar in taste to almond milk. Some say you either love it or hate it. Not only horchata is naturally vegan and gluten-free but it is also rich in nutrients and vitamins.

A traditional way to enjoy horchata is to have it with a farton – a long soft sponge cake covered with a sugar glaze. You can also dip it into the horchata for a bite full of flavour. There are many places to try a good glass of horchata as it is sold in most cafeterias around Valencia but a traditional shop where you can enjoy a Horchata and fartons is called a Horchatería . So if you want to feel like a local, you should definitely plan your visit there.

2. Paella

Valencia is the birthplace of this world-famous rice dish. When in the city this is one thing you definitely have to try! Traditional Valencian paella typically consists of rabbit, chicken, and garrafó (a type of local white bean). Other types of paella, including Seafood and vegetarian versions, are also widely available too. Another common type of paella served is black paella. This is made from squid ink which gives it its black colour. Paella is traditionally served in a large pan (like the image above) – perfect for sharing with your friends! ‘Paella’ is the Valencian word for the shallow pan it is traditionally cooked in and how it gets its name.

3. Esgarraet

A tapas dish that originates in Valencia is esgarraet. This is strips of codfish, with roasted bell peppers, olive oil and garlic. Esgarraet is the Valencian name for ‘tearing’ and is where it gets its name, referring to teared cod fish and bell peppers.

4. Flan

This is similar to creme caramel and is a typical cold Spanish dessert consisting of milk, sugar and eggs. It can come in a variety of flavours, including chocolate, orange, coffee or just traditional egg, and is topped with sweet caramel.

5. Arnardi

Traditionally served during Semana Santa (Spanish for Holy Week), Arnadi is a sweet cake consisting of pumpkin, almonds, sugar, and lemon zest. Typically served in a clay dish.

6. Pasteles de Boniato 

This is a Sweet Valencian empanada of Arab origin filled with boniato (a white sweet potato) or almonds. These are often served at Christmas time, as an after dinner treat. For those that follow a gluten-free diet, it is also common for the shell to be made with almond flour so you can still enjoy this traditional Christmas pastry.

7. Coca de llanda

This is a type of cake that is perfect as an afternoon snack. It consists of eggs, milk, olive oil, sugar, flour, walnuts, lemon zest, and baking powder. Llanda means rectangular and is where the name of the cake comes from as it is baked in a rectangular container. Once baked cinnamon is often sprinkled on top and the cake is served cut into chunks.

8. Fruits of Sant Donís

These are fruit-shaped marzipans, which are wrapped up and gifted to loved ones on the feast of Saint Denis of Paris (9th of October). Around this time, you can also find them shaped like fireworks, piulets and tronadors.

9. Agua de Valencia

Last but not least – the traditional Valencian cocktail – Agua de Valencia – a combination of cava, gin, vodka, and (ideally freshly squeezed) orange juice. It is a sweet and refreshing cocktail, similar to a mimosa. The drink was invented in 1959 by Constante Gil, a bartender who was challenged by the Basque travellers to come up with something new containing cava. The drink quickly became popular among Basque travellers and in the 1960s gained wider popularity during Valencian evenings.
