A Futuristic Dining Experience in Valencia

Valencia Premium Dining & Slots represents the new generation of entertainment venues — one that embraces the future while honoring tradition. Located steps from the architectural marvel of the City of Arts and Sciences, this sleek establishment offers sweeping views of Santiago Calatrava's iconic structures alongside innovative cuisine and modern gaming facilities.

Contemporary Design Meets Valencian Light

The venue occupies a purpose-built structure that echoes the futuristic aesthetic of its famous neighbors. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with Valencia's famous Mediterranean light, while minimalist furnishings in warm wood tones prevent the space from feeling cold or impersonal. The architects have created something that feels both dramatic and welcoming — no small feat.

The rooftop terrace is the crown jewel. Open seasonally from April through October, it offers 360-degree views that encompass the Oceanogràfic aquarium, the Hemisfèric planetarium, and the Príncipe Felipe science museum. As the sun sets and these structures illuminate, the experience becomes truly magical. We recommend timing your visit to witness this transformation.

Interior zones flow naturally from casual lounge seating near the entrance through a sophisticated bar area and into the main dining room. The gaming section occupies a separate wing, designed with the same attention to aesthetics as the rest of the venue — this is far from the typical gaming hall.

Sunset Tip

Book a rooftop table for 8 PM during summer months to experience the extraordinary sunset views over the City of Arts and Sciences. Reservations are essential for terrace seating.

Reinventing Valencian Traditions

Chef Pablo Martínez has taken a bold approach to Valencian cuisine, respecting its foundations while pushing creative boundaries. A native of the Albufera region — birthplace of paella — he brings deep knowledge of local ingredients and techniques combined with international training that shows in every plate.

Innovative Starters

The Esgarraet Deconstructed transforms the classic Valencian salad of dried cod and roasted peppers into an architectural presentation that tastes every bit as good as it looks. The sweetness of locally grown peppers plays beautifully against the salt-cured fish.

The All i Pebre Croquetas encapsulate Valencia's beloved eel stew in crispy, bite-sized packages. It's nostalgic comfort food made elegant, each croqueta releasing fragrant garlic and paprika with the first bite.

For the adventurous, the Horchata Gazpacho demonstrates Chef Martínez's creativity — the tiger nut drink transformed into a savory chilled soup that somehow works brilliantly.

Rice Dishes & Mains

The Arroz a Banda showcases the kitchen's mastery of rice cookery. This fisherman's dish separates the rich seafood broth from the rice during cooking, resulting in intensely flavored grains topped with pristine Mediterranean fish. The all-i-oli served alongside adds richness without overwhelming the delicate seafood flavors.

The Paella Valenciana remains traditional — with rabbit, chicken, snails, and green beans — and exemplifies why Valencia's rice dishes have conquered the world. The socarrat here achieves perfect crispness, and portions are generous enough to share (we recommend ordering one paella per two diners).

Non-rice options include an excellent Lubina a la Sal — sea bass baked in a salt crust that keeps the fish impossibly moist while seasoning it subtly. The tableside breaking of the crust adds theater to the experience.

Sweet Endings

The Fartón with Horchata Ice Cream reimagines Valencia's favorite street snack as an elegant dessert. The brioche-like pastry remains warm and fluffy, while house-made horchata ice cream provides cooling contrast. It's simple, it's delicious, and it's utterly Valencian.

Modern Gaming with Mediterranean Views

The gaming wing reflects the same design philosophy as the rest of the venue — clean lines, quality materials, and an emphasis on comfort. Natural light streams through large windows, a welcome departure from typically windowless gaming spaces. During evening hours, views of the illuminated City of Arts and Sciences create an extraordinary backdrop.

The slot selection emphasizes modern titles with engaging graphics and bonus features, though classic options remain available for traditionalists. The venue has invested in high-quality machines that perform flawlessly. Comfortable seating encourages extended play without fatigue.

Full food and beverage service extends to the gaming area, allowing guests to enjoy the complete culinary experience without leaving their preferred spot. The staff here demonstrate the same professionalism found throughout the venue.

Practical Considerations

Valencia's excellent public transport makes the venue easily accessible — the City of Arts and Sciences metro station is just a five-minute walk away. For those driving, valet parking is available, solving the challenge of finding street parking in this popular tourist area.

The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, including the rooftop terrace via elevator. Staff speak excellent English and French alongside Spanish and Valenciano, making international visitors comfortable.
