Casa Carmela

Paella cooked over orange-wood fire on Malvarrosa beach since 1922 — the benchmark for authentic Valencian paella.

Casa Carmela is where Valencians bring their out-of-town guests to prove a point about paella. Rabbit, chicken, green beans, garrofón, and rice — nothing more. Lunch only.
