Taska La Reina, Local restaurant in Cabanyal district, Valencia, Spain.
Taska La Reina is a restaurant in the Cabanyal district of Valencia, set inside a former neighborhood grocery store. It has two connected dining rooms with wooden tables and walls covered in traditional Spanish ceramic tiles.
The restaurant opened in 2015 after a neighborhood grocery store that had served the area for decades was converted into a dining space. The building's original layout was kept largely intact during the transformation.
The menu at Taska La Reina follows old fishing recipes from the Cabanyal, a neighborhood that was once a separate fishing village on the coast. Ordering the daily set menu often means eating exactly what local boats brought in that morning.
The restaurant is a short walk from Cabanyal beach, making it easy to combine with a visit to the seafront. Booking ahead through the website is a good idea, especially around midday when tables fill up quickly.
The ceramic tiles on the walls date back to the building's days as a grocery store and were never replaced. Some of them still carry faint lettering or marks from the shop's original use, visible if you look closely.
