One of the few places where you can get a delicious paella with meat and no seafood - the Paella de Carnes. It’s got chicken, chorizo and is then topped with grilled steak - perfect for those with a seafood allergy. If you’re a seafood fan though, they do have plenty of options for that as well. We love the Paella clasica Valenciana, which still has the chicken and chorizo, but also mussels, clams and shrimp. It’s incredibly flavorful and very reasonably priced. This place also has tasty cocktails and yummy tapas to share. - Laura Eng
