Free is a reading rather than a quotation: it is a municipal market on a public street and the poster names no entry fee, the only money on it being stall registration. No opening hours are published, which for a one-day market is the thing to ask. Stallholders had from 19 October to 4 December to register, so that window is open as this is written. The poster carries the title in Valencian, Spanish and English.

Drinks are included through the meal and the artwork says so in a footnote — during the meal, so not a bar for the evening. Six mains is the widest choice of any menu here and one of the few with no fixed main at all. No dates are published: it is sold as a menu for company parties rather than for particular nights, so when it runs has to be asked. Books on a mobile, so WhatsApp works. No coordinates: OpenStreetMap has neither the venue nor number 7 on that avenue, so the map link resolves by address.

Two fixed sittings rather than a menu served across the season: midday on Saturday 12 December and the evening of Friday 18 December. An events and banqueting venue, so this is built for a company party, and the three-hour open bar and DJ are in the 73 EUR rather than extras. No childrens price is published and the artwork gives no start times or minimum party size, so both are worth asking about when booking. Posted on Instagram; the venues own site still shows last seasons menu.

Over-18s only; dress code "brilla más que nunca". Entry is sold in releases: 25 EUR is the only tier currently open, with 40 and 45 EUR shown but greyed out until it sells out, so anyone booking late pays more. VIP tables are sold separately from 250 EUR (terrace) up to 1,500 EUR (DJ booth). The start time needs checking before publishing: the listing says Thursday 31 December at 00:30, but a night that "despide el año" starting at half past midnight reads as the early hours of 1 January, not of the 31st.

The venue says outright that this is not a classic sit-down dinner. Its own page lists what is included as "DJ, entertainment, food corners and a midnight celebration with cava and grapes", so drinks through the night are not in that list — assume they are extra. Tickets are sold through Eventbrite, not booked by phone. The Eventbrite overview reads "ring in 2026", which is the organiser's slip: the date is 31 December 2026 and the body of the same listing says hello to 2027.

A vegetarian and vegan menu runs at the same 115 EUR, with four starters to share — the same focaccia, wild mushroom croquettes, cream of vegetable soup with basil oil, and avocado maki with beetroot hummus and plantain crisps — then a choice of wild mushroom risotto with black truffle and chargrilled artichoke, creamy quinoa with confit leek and grilled asparagus, or tofu curry with basmati rice and naan. The children's menu at 45 EUR came from the venue's Instagram and appears in neither published PDF, so confirm it still runs. Booking is by phone on +34 670 030 991, with a 25 EUR per person deposit.

Children to 12 pay 99 EUR for a child version of the same tasting menu. Two paid extras are offered at booking: oysters at 5 EUR each and a Spanish, French and Italian cheese palette at 11 EUR a head. The shop carries a condition worth reading before paying: this booking is said to be for clients already on the list and confirmed by the restaurant, so contact them first if you have had no confirmation. Allergies have to be declared when booking — no changes on the night.

Adults only, shared tables. Priced from 395 EUR per person with the room included, so it is the dearest line on this board by some way and is not a like-for-like dinner price.
Before you book
- Prices and menus are as each venue published them. They change, and the busy nights sell out, so confirm when you reserve.
- Where a venue takes bookings on a mobile, the WhatsApp button goes straight to it. Where it only lists a landline, there is no WhatsApp button rather than one that goes nowhere.
- A few venues publish no price at all. Those say so rather than being left blank, and are worth a call.
- Looking for the free municipal events — the lights, the markets, the midnight chimes? Those are on the events calendar.
