Description

Located in a small village just a few kilometres north of Valencia, Napicol is run by a family heavily involved in the business and is one of those restaurants where agriculture is very much part of its DNA. You won’t find any set menus here; instead, chef Chemo Rausell conjures up cuisine that includes plenty of dishes that do not feature on the à la carte and which change with the seasons (the restaurant is next to an organic garden that provides many of his day-to-day ingredients). He also cooks delicious rice dishes to order and organises food-themed days dedicated to traditional recipes.

Review summary

Napicol, located in Port Saplaya, specializes in rice dishes and farm-to-table ingredients. The ambiance features a tranquil, greenery-filled terrace and a cozy, modern interior. Food quality is generally praised, particularly for its rice and seasonal specials, though some reviews cite issues with excessive saltiness, delayed service, and unfriendly staff. Value perceptions are mixed; while many find it reasonable, others consider it overpriced for the portion size. It is suitable for families and groups, but reservations for rice dishes are essential, and guests should manage expectations regarding service consistency.
