The Best Tapas in Valencia

Based pretty much only on the recommendation of this post, I went here this weekend, and it was terrific. A word of caution: the size of each dish is larger than what you'd expect for tapas, so the seemingly large (large relative to other Spanish tapas, not the prices I'm used to in Paris) price tag per dish is actually quite reasonable. Two adults had two full tapas, a half order of ham, and two small mushroom croquettes, and couldn't finish it all. Food quality was exceptional, especially the squid. Drinks were a pittance. Staff was very friendly with pidgeon English to match our pidgeon Spanish, but they do have an English menu now. Would return in a heartbeat.

The restaurant's website says it is now closed. Darn.

Visit to a wonderful, new chocolatier - Pascal Legac (long)

For the record, as I suspect this is too late for nl06, Wauthier is "Quai Wauthier," at 31 rue Wauthier, having shut down and then reopened a couple of months ago. I've been there once, for lunch, and the food was very good, though more expensive than I would have thought it should have been. One note: I've walked past it a bunch of times since then, and it's always dead, no matter what time of day (lunch/dinner).

mbcraw4d -- I just recently moved to Saint-Germain. Would love to hear any other thoughts you might have on the town or surrounding area.
