El Racó de Meliana
Restaurant El Racó is located in Meliana, a town in the “Horta Nord “ of Valencia with more than 11,000 inhabitants where agriculture accounts for 80% of the town´s boundaries. Here, in the market gardens, they cultivate the vegetables, fruits and cereals that are mostly our favourite products. Quality local produce with a proximity that marks our gastronomic offer which varies throughout the year depending on the seasons.
