Babalú describes itself as a restaurant, bar and chill out place and it has indeed a lot to offer.
First of all the restaurant has a broad cuisine from Cuban dishes to fusion Caribbean to the Spanish paella and tapas.
Babalú is located just next to the Plaza Redonda that is undergoing renovations at the time of writing. It’s in a side street of one of the streets leading off the Plaza and they have a good visible sign at the entrance to the street, that is how we found it too.
They offer a couple of Cuban and Caribbean specialties such as picadillos (Cuban ground beef dishes) and tostones (Caribbean fried banana) and they also do typical Spanish tapas and Valencian food such as paella.
Their menu of the day for EUR 9 is available both for lunch and dinner from Mon-Thu, on other days just for lunch. It includes an appetizer, a main course, a dessert or coffee or tea and a drink.
Then they have an extensive cocktail list with mojitos, daiquiris, caiprinhas, margaritas among others.
In Paris Babalú also has a restaurant so Valencia is their second base.
